Opportunity Summary:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity titled "Implications of New Digital Media Use for Underage Drinking, Drinking Related Behaviors, and Prevention Research (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-13-262) supports health-focused research on how modern digital media environments shape adolescent alcohol-related behavior. The core idea behind the announcement is that social media, social networking sites, and other rapidly evolving digital platforms are now central to teen social life, and heavy involvement in these spaces may influence when young people start drinking, how much they drink, and what kinds of negative outcomes they experience. This FOA invites researchers to move beyond general assumptions and produce evidence that clarifies whether digital media exposure, engagement, and peer dynamics online are linked to underage drinking patterns and alcohol-related problems, and if so, through what mechanisms.
A second major emphasis is prevention: the FOA encourages studies that examine how the same digital platforms that may contribute to risk can also be leveraged as channels for intervention. That includes research exploring how prevention messages, programs, or strategies might be delivered through social media or related digital tools in ways that are credible to adolescents, scalable, and responsive to real-world online behavior. In practical terms, this could involve developing and testing digitally delivered prevention interventions, evaluating how messages spread through online peer networks, or identifying design features that make prevention efforts more engaging and effective for youth who spend significant time in digital spaces.
This opportunity uses the R01 research project grant mechanism, meaning it is intended for substantial, hypothesis-driven projects with clear aims, rigorous methods, and the capacity to generate meaningful findings for the field of alcohol prevention research. The funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is health, and the program is associated with CFDA number 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally reduces barriers for applicants that might not be able to contribute non-federal funds.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of domestic and international organizations. Eligible applicants listed in the source information include state, county, city/township, and special district governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education; nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (with the exception categories noted in the eligibility list); for-profit organizations; and small businesses. The announcement also explicitly includes federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations. In addition, other eligible applicants named include various minority-serving institutions (such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, AANAPISIs, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities), faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, and eligible federal agencies. Importantly, non-U.S. entities are eligible: foreign organizations and foreign institutions can apply, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are allowed. This broad eligibility reflects NIH interest in diverse settings, populations, and research capacities, as well as the global relevance of digital media effects.
Key dates indicate that the FOA was posted and created on July 8, 2013, with an original and final closing date of September 7, 2016, and an archive date of October 8, 2016. That means the specific announcement is no longer active for new submissions under that FOA number, but it remains a useful reference for understanding NIH priorities at the intersection of adolescent health, alcohol use, and digital media, and it may have been succeeded by other NIH funding opportunities with similar aims.
