Opportunity Summary:
The Multi Component Youth/Young Adult Alcohol Prevention Trials (R01) funding opportunity (RFA-AA-11-001) is a National Institutes of Health grant announcement led by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) that supports rigorous research on community-level approaches to preventing and reducing alcohol-related harm among adolescents and young adults. The central aim is to strengthen the evidence base for alcohol prevention and treatment by evaluating multicomponent community programs, with particular attention to what works best, for whom, in which settings, and at what cost.
The announcement is focused on testing and comparing three broad types of community-based strategies. The first category emphasizes environmental interventions designed to reduce underage drinking and binge drinking among young adults, along with related harmful outcomes. These approaches generally target the broader conditions that shape alcohol use, such as community policies, enforcement practices, access and availability, norms, and other contextual factors that influence drinking behavior at the population level. The second category supports programs that expand alcohol screening, brief intervention, and pathways into formal treatment for adolescents and young adults across multiple real-world settings. The FOA specifically highlights settings like primary care and emergency departments, as well as school-based and workplace-based environments, and web-based venues, reflecting an interest in meeting young people where they already seek services or spend time. The third category invites combination programs that integrate both environmental prevention components and screening/brief intervention plus treatment access, allowing applicants to test whether a blended strategy produces stronger effects than either approach alone.
A defining feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on comparative effectiveness and costs. Applicants are expected not only to evaluate outcomes (such as reductions in underage drinking, binge drinking, and related harms), but also to examine the relative effectiveness of different multicomponent models and to incorporate cost or cost-effectiveness considerations. In practice, this encourages studies that can inform community decision-making by clarifying the tradeoffs between impact, feasibility, scalability, and resource requirements.
Funding is provided through the NIH R01 Research Project Grant mechanism. NIAAA indicated an estimated total of $1,000,000 available under this announcement, with an expectation of making one or two awards. Applicants could request budgets of roughly $500,000 per year in direct costs, with a maximum project period of up to five years. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that commonly conduct public health and prevention research. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, independent school districts, state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, and special district governments), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and tribal governments and tribal organizations (including federally recognized tribes and other tribal entities). The FOA also lists a range of special categories as eligible, such as faith-based and community-based organizations, historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and even non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations), as well as eligible federal agencies.
Key administrative details include a posted date of May 7, 2010, with an original and current application closing date of December 2, 2010, and an archive date of January 2, 2011. The associated CFDA number is 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). Additional announcement materials were made available through the NIH grants guide, and general assistance was routed through NIH Grants Information and the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster for technical access issues.
