Opportunity Summary:
The Nutrition and Alcohol Related Health Outcomes (R21) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-13-361) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program designed to support exploratory and early-stage research on how nutrition interacts with alcohol use and alcohol exposure to influence health. The announcement specifically invites studies that examine associations between nutritional factors and alcohol-related health outcomes using both human research and animal models. The larger aim is to broaden and accelerate research that clarifies the role nutrition may play in the development of alcohol-related problems, as well as how nutrition might be leveraged for prevention strategies or as part of treatment approaches. The scope is intentionally wide, covering alcohol use disorder as well as other longer-term, alcohol-associated chronic diseases, including areas connected to cancer cause and prevention research (as reflected in the CFDA listings).
This FOA uses the NIH R21 mechanism, which is commonly used for exploratory, proof-of-concept, or high-impact preliminary work that can open up new directions and generate key feasibility data. The listed award ceiling is $200,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible. Although the source text does not spell out the project period or budget structure beyond the ceiling, the emphasis on the R21 format signals an interest in innovative, targeted projects that can answer focused questions about nutrition-alcohol relationships rather than long, large-scale programmatic efforts.
In terms of what kinds of research are encouraged, the central theme is the relationship between nutritional status, dietary patterns, nutrients, or nutrition-related biological mechanisms and alcohol-related outcomes. That can include work aimed at understanding risk and susceptibility (for example, whether certain nutritional deficiencies or dietary exposures worsen alcohol-related organ damage), resilience or protective factors (whether specific nutrients or dietary interventions mitigate harm), and treatment-relevant questions (whether nutrition can improve outcomes for people with alcohol use disorder or reduce complications tied to alcohol use). By explicitly allowing both human and animal model approaches, the program accommodates projects ranging from clinical or population-oriented association studies to mechanistic preclinical studies that probe underlying biology.
Eligibility is broad and spans many organizational types. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and a range of tribal entities, including federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations. The announcement also explicitly includes a variety of mission-serving and community-focused institutions and groups as eligible, such as 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), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies.
A notable feature of this FOA is its openness to international participation. Non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) are eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may participate, and foreign components are allowed as defined by NIH policy. This broad eligibility reflects the reality that alcohol-related disease burdens and nutrition-related risk factors are global issues and that high-quality expertise, cohorts, and model systems may be located outside the United States.
Key administrative details in the source data show that the opportunity was posted on September 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date listed as January 7, 2017, and an archive date of February 7, 2017, indicating that the specific announcement is now historical rather than open for new submissions. The issuing agency is NIH, and the announcement provides an official link to the full FOA text on the NIH grants website (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-361.html). For access or technical issues related to the online announcement, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Overall, PA-13-361 is best understood as an NIH effort to catalyze innovative, targeted research clarifying how nutrition influences alcohol-related health trajectories, ranging from alcohol use disorder to chronic disease outcomes, with the flexibility to use human studies, animal models, or a combination of both, and with unusually broad eligibility that includes domestic and foreign organizations across academic, governmental, nonprofit, and commercial sectors.
