Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity "Health Services and Economic Research on the Prevention and Treatment of Drug, Alcohol, and Tobacco Abuse (R21)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-12-128) 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 and developmental research through the NIH R21 mechanism, which is commonly used to back early-stage, high-potential projects that may be piloting new ideas, testing novel approaches, or generating preliminary data that could later justify a larger study. The overall goal is to strengthen the quality, performance, and real-world impact of prevention, treatment, and recovery support services related to drug, alcohol, and tobacco use.
The focus is specifically on health services research and economic research rather than basic biomedical studies. In practice, that means the program is looking for projects that examine how care is delivered, how systems and organizations influence outcomes, what strategies help evidence-based practices actually get adopted in real settings, and how resources can be used more efficiently to improve population health. The FOA highlights five major topic areas that applications might emphasize: clinical quality improvement (for example, strategies to improve adherence to evidence-based screening, counseling, medication-assisted treatment, follow-up, or continuity of care); organization and delivery of services (such as care coordination models, integration with primary care or mental health services, telehealth delivery, workforce issues, or effects of organizational structure and financing); implementation research (understanding barriers and facilitators to adoption, testing implementation strategies, measuring fidelity, and assessing sustainment in community settings); economic and cost studies (including cost analyses, cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit, budgeting impact, and the financial implications of different service models); and methodological development (creating or improving research methods, analytic techniques, and measurement tools used to study prevention, treatment, and recovery systems for substance use disorders and tobacco use).
The award information indicates a funding ceiling of $200,000, and the opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a grant funding instrument. It falls under the health and education-related activity categories and is associated with CFDA number 93.279, Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs. The announcement was originally posted on March 19, 2012, and the final listed closing date was May 7, 2015, with an archive date of June 7, 2015, meaning it was a time-limited solicitation and is no longer active in that specific version, though similar NIH program announcements may appear in later years.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic and non-domestic applicants, reflecting NIH norms for investigator-initiated research. Eligible applicants include federal, state, county, city, township, and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; small businesses; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted exception regarding institutions of higher education as a separate category); and tribal governments and tribal organizations, including federally recognized tribal governments. The FOA also explicitly includes a range of special categories such as historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. Foreign institutions are eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may participate; foreign components are allowed as defined in NIH policy.
