Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Mechanisms of Alcohol and Nicotine Co Addiction (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-13-194) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant announcement that invited research proposals aimed at understanding why alcohol use and nicotine use so often occur together and what biological and behavioral processes drive that co-addiction. It specifically sought R01 applications, meaning it supported substantial, hypothesis-driven projects that typically involve multi-year research plans and well-developed preliminary rationale. The central focus was on identifying neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms that contribute to concurrent alcohol and nicotine addiction, including how the two substances may interact in the brain and in behavior to increase vulnerability, reinforce continued use, complicate quitting, or worsen relapse risk.
This FOA was positioned within NIH health research programs and mapped to CFDA numbers 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs) and 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs), reflecting its cross-cutting relevance to both alcohol and drug abuse research portfolios. The goal was not simply to study alcohol or tobacco in isolation, but to prioritize research that treats co-use as its own scientific problem, where shared reward pathways, stress systems, learning and habit circuitry, genetics, developmental factors, and environmental influences may combine to produce patterns of dependence that differ from single-substance addiction. In practical terms, applications could be expected to explore topics such as how nicotine alters alcohol reward or consumption, how alcohol changes nicotine reinforcement, which neurotransmitter systems and neural circuits are jointly affected, and what behavioral phenotypes or decision-making processes predict co-use and relapse.
The eligibility rules were broad and inclusive, allowing participation from a wide range of domestic and international institutions and organizations. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district). The FOA also explicitly included various mission-driven and capacity-building institution types, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions, as well as faith-based and community-based organizations. Foreign organizations and foreign institutions were eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were also eligible, with foreign components permitted consistent with NIH policy. No cost sharing or matching was required, which lowered barriers for applicants and is typical for NIH research project grants.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted on April 12, 2013, created on April 24, 2013, and it had an original and final closing date of September 7, 2016. It was archived on October 8, 2016, meaning it is no longer open for applications, though the archived announcement remains useful as a reference point for the scientific priorities NIH was emphasizing around alcohol and nicotine co-addiction mechanisms during that period. Applicants and readers were directed to the full announcement on the NIH grants website (PA-13-194), and NIH provided general webmaster contact points for technical difficulties accessing or linking to the notice.
Overall, this FOA can be understood as an NIH effort to push the field toward mechanistic, integrated research on co-occurring alcohol and nicotine addiction, recognizing that dual use is common and clinically challenging and that better prevention and treatment strategies depend on understanding the underlying brain and behavioral processes that make co-addiction persist.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the title and funding opportunity number for this grant?
The opportunity is titled "Mechanisms of Alcohol and Nicotine Co Addiction (R01)" and the Funding Opportunity Number is PA-13-194.
Which agency offered this funding opportunity?
This was a discretionary grant announcement from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
What type of grant mechanism did this opportunity support?
The announcement specifically sought R01 applications. R01s are intended to support substantial, hypothesis-driven research projects, typically with multi-year research plans and a well-developed rationale.
What was the main purpose of this funding opportunity?
The goal was to support research aimed at understanding why alcohol use and nicotine use so often occur together and to identify the biological and behavioral processes that drive co-addiction.
What did NIH mean by focusing on "co-addiction" rather than single-substance use?
The FOA emphasized studying concurrent alcohol and nicotine use as its own scientific problem, rather than treating alcohol or tobacco use in isolation. It prioritized research on shared or interacting mechanisms that may create patterns of dependence that differ from single-substance addiction.
What kinds of mechanisms were of interest under this FOA?
The central scientific focus was on neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms contributing to concurrent alcohol and nicotine addiction, including how the two substances may interact in the brain and behavior to increase vulnerability, reinforce continued use, complicate quitting, or worsen relapse risk.
What research topics or questions were expected to fit this FOA?
Examples of topics described included: how nicotine alters alcohol reward or consumption; how alcohol changes nicotine reinforcement; which neurotransmitter systems and neural circuits are jointly affected; and what behavioral phenotypes or decision-making processes predict co-use and relapse.
Did the FOA emphasize any particular domains that might contribute to co-use?
Yes. The description highlighted the potential roles of shared reward pathways, stress systems, learning and habit circuitry, genetics, developmental factors, and environmental influences in shaping co-addiction.
Which program areas or CFDA numbers were associated with this opportunity?
The FOA mapped to CFDA 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs) and CFDA 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs), reflecting its relevance across both alcohol and drug abuse research portfolios.
Who was eligible to apply?
