Opportunity Summary:
The Epidemiology and Prevention in Alcohol Research (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-14-190) was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program that invited investigator-initiated R01 applications focused on understanding alcohol use and reducing alcohol-related harm through prevention. In practical terms, this announcement was designed to fund rigorous research that either maps and explains patterns of alcohol use and its consequences across populations (epidemiology) or tests and improves strategies to prevent underage drinking, alcohol-related harms, and alcohol use disorders. The program was listed under CFDA 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs) and did not require cost sharing or matching, which means applicants were not expected to provide non-federal funds to meet a cost-share threshold as a condition of the award.
The scientific scope emphasized two closely related areas. First, it supported epidemiologic research on alcohol use, alcohol-related harms, and alcohol use disorders, which can include studying how drinking patterns vary by age, sex, geography, socioeconomic status, culture, or other factors, as well as identifying risk and protective factors that shape initiation, escalation, and recovery. This type of work typically involves population-based surveys, cohort studies, surveillance data, or other large-scale datasets aimed at clarifying who is most affected, when risks are highest, and what conditions or environments contribute to harm. Second, it encouraged prevention-focused research, particularly around underage drinking and the downstream harms associated with alcohol. Prevention studies under this FOA could include developing, testing, or improving interventions, programs, or policies intended to delay initiation of drinking, reduce high-risk consumption, prevent alcohol-related injuries and violence, and lower the incidence or severity of alcohol use disorders. The announcement’s framing highlights a public health orientation: understanding the distribution and drivers of alcohol-related outcomes and then translating that knowledge into prevention approaches that can reduce harm at individual, community, or population levels.
The funding mechanism was the NIH R01, which is the standard research project grant used to support a defined, investigator-driven research plan. Because it was investigator-initiated, applicants were expected to propose their own specific aims, study designs, analytic strategies, and implementation plans aligned with the FOA’s topic area, rather than responding to a narrowly prescribed set of tasks. The activity category was Health, consistent with NIH’s mission and the public health and clinical burden associated with alcohol use and alcohol-related disease and injury.
Eligibility was broad and intentionally inclusive, spanning many types of domestic and international organizations. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private universities, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and a wide range of government entities such as state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts. Housing authorities and Indian housing authorities were also eligible. The FOA explicitly included tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations, as well as tribally controlled colleges and universities. It also listed institutions and organizations that often serve priority or historically underrepresented communities, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander-serving institutions (AANAPISIs), and faith-based or community-based organizations. In addition, non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) were eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations could participate, and foreign components were allowed as defined by NIH policy, reflecting NIH’s openness to international collaboration and research settings where alcohol-related harms may be especially relevant or informative.
Key administrative details include the posting and creation date of April 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2017, and an archive date of October 8, 2017. That means this specific FOA is no longer open for applications, but it remains an important reference point for the types of epidemiology and prevention questions NIH sought to support in alcohol research during that period. The full announcement was made available through NIH’s grants guide at the provided link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-14-190.html). For access or technical issues, the contact point listed was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV, indicating that inquiries were primarily directed toward resolving announcement access and linking problems rather than scientific programmatic questions.
Overall, PA-14-190 signaled NIH’s interest in strengthening the evidence base around how alcohol use and harms are distributed and caused, and in supporting prevention research capable of reducing underage drinking, alcohol-related consequences, and alcohol use disorders using well-designed, investigator-led R01 projects across a wide range of institutional and community settings.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Epidemiology and Prevention in Alcohol Research (R01) opportunity?
It was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant opportunity that invited investigator-initiated R01 research applications focused on understanding alcohol use and reducing alcohol-related harm through prevention. The Funding Opportunity Number (FOA) was PA-14-190.
Which NIH grant mechanism did this opportunity use?
This opportunity used the NIH R01 mechanism, the standard NIH research project grant intended to support a defined, investigator-driven research plan.
What types of research topics were supported under PA-14-190?
The scientific scope emphasized two closely related areas: (1) epidemiologic research on alcohol use, alcohol-related harms, and alcohol use disorders; and (2) prevention-focused research, particularly related to underage drinking and downstream harms associated with alcohol.
What does "epidemiology" mean in the context of this FOA?
In this FOA, epidemiology referred to research that maps and explains patterns of alcohol use and its consequences across populations. Examples described included examining differences by age, sex, geography, socioeconomic status, culture, and other factors, and identifying risk and protective factors related to initiation, escalation, and recovery.
What kinds of data or study approaches were typical for the epidemiology focus?
The FOA described population-based surveys, cohort studies, surveillance data, and other large-scale datasets as typical approaches used to clarify who is most affected, when risks are highest, and which conditions or environments contribute to harm.
What does "prevention-focused research" include under this announcement?
Prevention research under PA-14-190 could include developing, testing, or improving interventions, programs, or policies intended to delay initiation of drinking, reduce high-risk consumption, prevent alcohol-related injuries and violence, and lower the incidence or severity of alcohol use disorders.
