Opportunity Summary:
The Comprehensive Alcohol Research Centers (P60) opportunity (RFA-AA-10-004) is a National Institutes of Health funding announcement from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) designed to support large, multi-project research centers focused on alcohol-related science. The central goal of the NIAAA Alcohol Research Center program is to provide national leadership and a stable organizational home for interdisciplinary, collaborative research that addresses major questions aligned with NIAAA's mission. In practice, a P60 Comprehensive Center is meant to bring together investigators and disciplines that might otherwise operate separately, so the center can tackle complex problems in alcohol use disorders and alcohol-related harms using coordinated, goal-directed research strategies.
The scientific scope is intentionally broad and spans the full lifespan, from early risk and developmental trajectories through later-life consequences. Topics called out include the nature and causes of alcohol use disorders, underlying biology and etiology, genetics, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The announcement also emphasizes that these centers should address not only biomedical outcomes but also psychosocial and economic consequences of alcohol misuse. Beyond producing research findings, centers are expected to function as regional or national resources by developing or advancing new research methods, technologies, and approaches that keep the field innovative and capable of answering emerging questions.
The funding mechanism for this program is the NIH P60 center grant, which supports comprehensive, center-wide infrastructures and multiple integrated projects under one coordinated umbrella. This opportunity is part of a set of related NIAAA center programs that were run in parallel: Resource Core Alcohol Research Centers (P30; RFA-AA-10-002) and Specialized Alcohol Research Centers (P50; RFA-AA-10-003). In simple terms, the P60 mechanism is positioned for broader, more comprehensive center activities and leadership than a core-only resource center, while operating alongside specialized centers that may be more tightly focused on a particular theme.
NIAAA projected committing approximately $2.4 million in FY2011 to fund an expected total of two to three awards, which could include new centers and/or renewals of existing centers. Like most NIH opportunities, actual awards were contingent on congressional appropriations, NIAAA's budget availability, and the scientific and technical merit of the applications received.
Administrative details from the listing indicate this is a discretionary grant opportunity in the health category with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date were June 26, 2009, with an original and current closing date of December 2, 2009, and an archive date of January 2, 2010. The award ceiling is listed as $2,000,000 (as recorded in the source data). The full announcement was made available through the NIH grants guide page linked in the notice (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AA-10-004.html).
Eligibility is broad and includes many common applicant types across academia, nonprofit, government, and some for-profit entities. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, state governments, and a range of tribal and regional organizations. The notice also explicitly mentions additional eligible groups such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), eligible federal agencies, and faith-based or community-based organizations, among others referenced in the eligibility clarification field.
