Opportunity Summary:
The International Research Collaboration on Alcohol and Alcoholism (U01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-14-268) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement designed to strengthen and expand international partnerships in alcohol research. Its central goal is to foster genuine, two-way collaborations between alcohol research investigators based in the United States and investigators working at non-U.S. laboratories and other performance sites abroad. The emphasis is not simply on adding an international site to an existing project, but on building a joint research effort that advances scientific directions for both the U.S. and the non-U.S. teams, ultimately improving understanding of alcohol-related problems and informing clinical and public health approaches to prevent and address them.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement (U01), which typically means the project is supported like a research grant but with substantial scientific or programmatic involvement from the NIH during the life of the award. In practice, applicants should expect a more collaborative relationship with the funding agency than under a standard research project grant, with NIH involvement often focusing on coordination, oversight, and helping ensure the collaboration meets the program goals. The activity area is health, and the associated CFDA number listed is 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). The announcement explicitly states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for applicants who may not have access to non-federal matching funds.
This FOA supports research activities that are undertaken jointly by U.S. and non-U.S. partners. The stated purpose is the “mutual advancement” of knowledge and solutions related to alcohol problems, including both scientific understanding and applied clinical/public health strategies. While the summary description does not list specific topic areas or research domains, it clearly signals interest in projects that can leverage international collaboration to move the field forward, such as studies that benefit from access to unique populations, differing policy environments, distinctive cultural or drinking patterns, specialized expertise, or complementary datasets and infrastructure available outside the United States. A strong application would therefore be expected to justify why the work requires and benefits from an international partnership, and how each side contributes meaningfully to the overall aims rather than serving a purely supporting role.
The award ceiling shown in the source data is $250,000. The opportunity was posted and created on July 1, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2017, and an archive date of October 8, 2017, indicating it is no longer active as a current competition. Even so, the structure is useful as a reference point for how NIH frames international collaborative research in alcohol and alcoholism, particularly under a cooperative agreement model.
Eligibility is broad and includes many common applicant types across the public, private, nonprofit, and for-profit sectors. Eligible applicants include private and public institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and a wide range of government entities (state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities). Tribal entities are eligible as well, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations. The eligibility section also highlights additional categories such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), faith-based or community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, eligible federal agencies, regional organizations, and importantly, non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities/foreign organizations. The inclusion of foreign organizations aligns with the program’s objective of supporting true international collaboration rather than restricting awards to U.S.-only institutions.
