Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity "Economics of Treatment and Prevention Services for Drug Alcohol Abuse (R21)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-08-173) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement led by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). It supports exploratory, early-stage research focused on the economic dimensions of substance use prevention and treatment services, specifically for drug and alcohol abuse. The central idea is to strengthen evidence on how these services are paid for, organized, and delivered, and how economic tools and evaluation methods can be used to improve their value, quality, and efficiency.
The FOA encourages Research Project Grant applications that examine a wide range of economic questions tied to prevention and treatment systems. Priority topics include how treatment and prevention services are financed and purchased, including the role of health insurance design and payment mechanisms. It also highlights research on economic incentives that might improve quality and efficiency, such as reimbursement models, performance-based payments, or other incentive structures aimed at providers, programs, patients, or payers. Another emphasized area is the study of alternative delivery systems, including managed care arrangements and how different organizational models affect access, utilization, outcomes, and costs. The announcement also explicitly invites formal economic evaluation studies, including cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness, and cost-utility analyses, as well as research that measures and explains service costs, production processes, and overall economic efficiency in real-world settings. In addition to applied studies, the FOA welcomes methodological research aimed at developing or improving the tools used for economic analysis in the drug and alcohol services field, such as better costing methods, improved outcome valuation, stronger modeling techniques, or more rigorous approaches to capturing system-level impacts.
This program uses the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant mechanism (R21), which is typically intended for innovative projects, pilot work, or new lines of inquiry that can generate foundational findings and position researchers for larger, subsequent studies. The FOA is part of a coordinated set of related announcements with the same scientific scope but different grant mechanisms: a parallel R01 version (PA-08-174) for larger, more comprehensive projects and an R03 version (PA-08-172) for small, short-term studies.
The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $200,000. Awards are not guaranteed; they depend on available funds and the number of strong, meritorious applications received. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic and non-domestic organizations. Eligible applicants include federal recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, special districts, and independent school districts), public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and additional categories such as faith-based and community-based organizations. The eligibility list also extends to institutions serving specific populations (for example, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities), regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign organizations (non-U.S. entities) are also included as eligible applicants under the additional eligibility information.
Key administrative details indicate the opportunity was posted on June 6, 2008, with an original and final closing date of September 7, 2011, and an archive date of October 8, 2011. The CFDA numbers associated with the announcement are 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs) and 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs). The full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants guide, and NIH provided technical contact support through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or linking issues.
