Opportunity Summary:
The Epidemiology and Prevention in Alcohol Research (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-11-016) was a discretionary NIH grant program run through the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). Its purpose was to support investigator-initiated research using the NIH R01 mechanism to deepen understanding of the epidemiology of alcohol use, alcohol-related harms, and alcohol use disorders, and to advance prevention science aimed at reducing underage drinking and preventing alcohol-related harms and alcohol use disorders. In practice, this kind of announcement is meant to invite a broad range of research projects rather than prescribing a narrow topic list, as long as the proposed work fits within NIAAA's mission areas of population-level alcohol research and prevention.
The research scope emphasized two closely linked domains. First, it encouraged epidemiologic studies that describe and explain patterns, determinants, and consequences of alcohol consumption and alcohol use disorders across different populations and settings. This includes work that measures prevalence and incidence, tracks trends over time, identifies risk and protective factors, and examines how alcohol use and related harms vary by age, sex, geography, culture, socioeconomic position, and other social or environmental influences. Second, it encouraged prevention-oriented research, particularly focused on underage drinking, but also extending to prevention of alcohol-related harms and alcohol use disorders more broadly. Prevention in this context can include developing, refining, testing, or evaluating interventions, programs, policies, or community strategies intended to reduce initiation, escalation, binge patterns, alcohol-impaired injury risk, and longer-term disorder outcomes.
Administratively, this opportunity was a grant (FundingInstrumentType: Grant) in the health category, tied to CFDA 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). It did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which generally lowers barriers for many applicants because the project budget does not need to be supplemented with non-federal dollars to meet an award condition. The announcement was originally posted and created on October 28, 2010, with an original closing date of January 7, 2014. The current closing date listed is also January 7, 2014, and the archive date was February 7, 2014, indicating the opportunity is no longer active and has been formally archived.
Eligibility was broad and inclusive, reflecting the NIH norm for investigator-initiated research and NIAAA's interest in supporting diverse institutions and research environments. Eligible applicants included many types of U.S. governmental entities (state governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, special district governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities), as well as academic institutions (public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education). The opportunity was also open to nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those categories), small businesses, and other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. It additionally recognized and welcomed applications from tribal entities and organizations, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations, as well as tribally controlled colleges and universities. Beyond these, the eligibility language explicitly included historically underrepresented or mission-specific institutions such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and faith-based or community-based organizations. It also allowed non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations), regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions, signaling an openness to research that may involve international settings, comparative epidemiology, or collaborations that extend beyond the continental U.S., as long as the work aligns with NIAAA priorities and NIH rules.
