Opportunity Summary:
The Program for Extramural/Intramural Alcohol Research Collaborations (U01) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 13-133) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity designed to deliberately pair outside (extramural) alcohol researchers with scientists working inside the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) Intramural Research Program. The central idea is to create true, functioning collaborations where the combined team can tackle high-impact alcohol-related research questions that would be difficult, inefficient, or simply not feasible if each investigator pursued similar aims separately. Because this is a U01 cooperative agreement, applicants should expect an NIH programmatic partnership component that is typically more involved than a standard research grant, reflecting the collaborative nature and shared scientific stewardship common to cooperative agreements.
From a scientific standpoint, the opportunity focuses on advancing the alcohol research field, especially in areas tied to alcohol use disorders (AUD) such as dependence, as well as the broader effects of alcohol on health. The announcement emphasizes that the research should be driven by questions that materially move the field forward, leveraging complementary expertise, resources, or unique capabilities that exist across the extramural and intramural environments. In practice, that often means proposing projects that benefit from specialized NIAAA intramural infrastructure, distinctive patient or laboratory resources, cutting-edge methods, or rare expertise, combined with the extramural partner's established program, data, cohorts, technologies, or translational pipeline. A key eligibility and planning feature is that the NIH intramural collaborator is expected to be a tenured or tenure-track NIAAA intramural scientist, and the extramural Project Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) must have made prior contact with that scientist specifically about the proposed collaborative project, underscoring that the application should be built on a real, pre-existing collaborative plan rather than a speculative partnership.
Administratively, this opportunity sits in the NIH health research domain and is associated with CFDA number 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). It was posted on March 6, 2013, with an original and final closing date of May 7, 2016, and an archive date of June 7, 2016, meaning it is no longer open in its original form but remains relevant as a model for how NIH/NIAAA structures extramural-intramural collaborative mechanisms. The award ceiling listed is $250,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which is important for budgeting because applicants are not required to provide institutional matching funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility is intentionally broad and includes a wide array of U.S. and non-U.S. entities. Eligible applicants span nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), public and private institutions of higher education, small businesses and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed as eligible as well), and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The announcement also explicitly includes tribal governments and tribal organizations, as well as a range of mission- or population-serving institutions 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). Faith-based and community-based organizations are also included. Notably, foreign organizations and foreign institutions are eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations can participate; foreign components are allowed consistent with the NIH Grants Policy Statement. This broad eligibility is meant to maximize the pool of capable research teams while still anchoring the collaboration around an NIAAA intramural scientist.

For technical issues accessing the announcement, the listed support contact was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV, reflecting standard NIH practice for troubleshooting electronic access and linking problems rather than scientific program inquiries.
FAQs: Program for Extramural/Intramural Alcohol Research Collaborations (U01) - PAR 13-133
What is the PAR 13-133 funding opportunity?
PAR 13-133 is the NIH Program for Extramural/Intramural Alcohol Research Collaborations (U01). It is designed to deliberately pair extramural (outside NIH) alcohol researchers with scientists in the NIAAA Intramural Research Program to form true, functioning collaborations that can address high-impact alcohol-related research questions.
Which NIH institute is associated with this program?
The program is associated with the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), including its Intramural Research Program.
What does it mean that this is a U01 cooperative agreement?
A U01 is a cooperative agreement mechanism. In this opportunity, applicants should expect an NIH programmatic partnership component that is typically more involved than a standard research grant, reflecting shared scientific stewardship and the collaboration-centered nature of the award.
What is the main goal of this opportunity?
The main goal is to advance the alcohol research field by creating deliberate extramural-intramural collaborations that can tackle questions that would be difficult, inefficient, or not feasible if each investigator pursued similar aims separately.
What scientific topics does the opportunity emphasize?
The opportunity emphasizes research that advances alcohol-related science, especially areas tied to alcohol use disorders (AUD), including dependence, as well as the broader effects of alcohol on health.
What kind of research projects are a good fit for this program?
Projects are a good fit when they are driven by high-impact questions and are designed to leverage complementary expertise, resources, or unique capabilities across the extramural and intramural environments. The intent is that the collaboration materially moves the field forward.
Why does the program require collaboration with NIAAA intramural scientists?
The program is built around combining strengths that may be uniquely available in NIAAA intramural settings (such as specialized infrastructure, distinctive patient or laboratory resources, cutting-edge methods, or rare expertise) with an extramural partner's established program, data, cohorts, technologies, or translational pipeline.
Who is expected to be the intramural collaborator?
The NIH intramural collaborator is expected to be a tenured or tenure-track NIAAA intramural scientist.
Is prior contact with the NIAAA intramural scientist required?
Yes. The extramural Project Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) must have made prior contact with the NIAAA intramural scientist specifically about the proposed collaborative project, indicating the application should be based on a real collaborative plan rather than a speculative partnership.
Who can serve as the extramural PD/PI for the application?
The extramural PD/PI is the outside (non-intramural) lead on the application and must have already contacted the tenured or tenure-track NIAAA intramural scientist about the proposed project.
What is the award ceiling for this opportunity?
The listed award ceiling is $250,000.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. The opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide institutional matching funds as a condition of award.
What is the CFDA number associated with this program?
