Opportunity Summary:
The Nutrition and Alcohol Related Health Outcomes (R03) funding opportunity (PA-13-360) was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program designed to support small, focused research projects that explore how nutrition and alcohol interact to influence health. The central aim was to encourage studies that examine links between nutritional status, dietary factors, nutrients, and related metabolic processes on the one hand, and alcohol-related outcomes on the other, using both human and animal model research. In practical terms, the announcement sought to stimulate a wide range of investigations into how nutrition may contribute to the development of alcohol-related harm, how it might reduce risk or severity, and how it could be leveraged in prevention or treatment strategies for alcohol use disorder as well as alcohol-associated chronic diseases.
This FOA fell under NIH grant funding mechanisms and used the R03 activity code, which is typically intended for pilot or feasibility work, secondary data analyses, small-scale clinical or preclinical studies, method development, or other narrowly scoped projects that can generate early findings and position teams for larger future studies. The research scope explicitly included alcohol use disorder and chronic disease outcomes, and it invited approaches that could clarify biological mechanisms, identify nutrition-related risk or protective factors, and test nutrition-informed interventions or strategies relevant to alcohol-related health consequences. The opportunity was aligned with NIH health research priorities and was associated with CFDA program areas 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs) and 93.393 (Cancer Cause and Prevention Research), signaling interest in both alcohol-focused outcomes and broader disease pathways where alcohol and nutrition may intersect, including cancer-related prevention and causation research.
In terms of eligibility, the program was broadly open to a wide array of applicant organizations, reflecting NIH’s standard emphasis on inclusive participation across sectors and institution types. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities), state and local governments (such as counties, cities, townships, special district governments, and independent school districts), public housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments as well as other tribal organizations. The eligibility language also explicitly referenced participation by a number of mission-relevant institution types and community-based entities, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), along with faith-based and community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. Importantly, non-U.S. entities were eligible to apply, including foreign organizations and foreign institutions, and NIH allowed foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, meaning the FOA permitted international collaboration and research activities when justified by the project.
Administratively, the FOA was posted on September 23, 2013, created on October 30, 2013, and ultimately closed on January 7, 2017, with an archive date of February 7, 2017. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which is consistent with most NIH research grant programs and reduces barriers for applicants who may not have access to non-federal matching funds. For official details, the funding announcement directed applicants to the NIH Grants Guide page (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-360.html). For technical issues accessing the announcement or problems with links, the listed point of contact was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
FAQs: Nutrition and Alcohol Related Health Outcomes (R03) - PA-13-360
What is the Nutrition and Alcohol Related Health Outcomes (R03) opportunity (PA-13-360)?
PA-13-360 was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary funding opportunity that supported small, focused research projects examining how nutrition and alcohol interact to influence health outcomes. It used the NIH R03 activity code, which is commonly used for narrowly scoped projects that can generate early findings and inform future, larger studies.
What was the main goal of this funding opportunity?
The central aim was to encourage research that links nutritional status, dietary factors, nutrients, and related metabolic processes with alcohol-related outcomes. The opportunity sought to stimulate studies that clarify how nutrition may contribute to alcohol-related harm, reduce risk or severity, and inform prevention or treatment strategies.
What types of research did the FOA encourage?
The announcement encouraged a wide range of investigations, including studies intended to clarify biological mechanisms, identify nutrition-related risk or protective factors, and test nutrition-informed interventions or strategies relevant to alcohol-related health consequences.
Were both human and animal model studies allowed?
Yes. The FOA explicitly supported research using both human research and animal model research approaches to explore nutrition-alcohol interactions and related health outcomes.
What health outcomes were in scope?
The scope included alcohol use disorder and alcohol-associated chronic disease outcomes. The FOA also signaled interest in broader disease pathways where alcohol and nutrition intersect, including cancer-related prevention and causation research.
How could nutrition be studied in relation to alcohol outcomes under this FOA?
Based on the FOA description, projects could examine links between nutritional status, dietary factors, specific nutrients, and metabolic processes on one side, and alcohol-related outcomes on the other. This could include understanding how nutrition contributes to harm, how it might mitigate risk or severity, or how it could be leveraged in prevention or treatment strategies.
What is the R03 activity code and what kinds of projects does it typically support?
