Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), released this discretionary grant opportunity to support early stage, exploratory studies on how changes in economic conditions affect alcohol use and alcohol related problems. The focus is on understanding what happens to alcohol consumption levels, drinking patterns (for example, heavy drinking, binge drinking, or shifts in beverage choice), and the prevention and treatment of problem drinking when the economy changes at either the national or local level. In practical terms, the announcement is looking for research that can shed light on how events like recessions, rising unemployment, wage or income instability, housing market changes, foreclosures, or local economic shocks may influence who drinks, how much they drink, and whether people are more or less likely to develop alcohol problems or seek and respond to treatment.
This opportunity uses the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant mechanism (R21), which is designed for projects that are innovative, pilot in nature, or intended to generate foundational evidence that can lead to larger follow on studies. The work supported under an R21 is typically aimed at developing new methods, testing novel hypotheses, or quickly evaluating promising approaches when the evidence base is still emerging. For applicants, this means the program is generally geared toward studies that can move quickly and produce useful preliminary findings about economic fluctuation related drivers of alcohol use and related harms, including implications for prevention and clinical or community based treatment services.
The funding announcement is identified as PA 11 062, titled "Research Into The Impact Of Economic Fluctuations On Alcohol Consumption, Drinking Patterns, And Prevention And Treatment Of Problem Drinking And Related Problems (R21)." It was posted on December 8, 2010, and remained open through January 7, 2014, with an archive date of February 7, 2014. The award ceiling listed is $200,000, and the opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The activity category is Health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.273, Alcohol Research Programs.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations. Eligible applicants include public and 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 profit entities), and a range of government bodies such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts. It also includes public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities. The eligibility information further notes additional eligible entities such as federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other tribal organizations, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith based or community based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and even non U.S. entities (foreign organizations). This wide eligibility reflects the cross cutting nature of the topic, since economic shocks and alcohol related outcomes can be studied through public health, economics, sociology, clinical research, policy analysis, and community based approaches.
At its core, the FOA is trying to strengthen the evidence on the relationship between economic conditions and alcohol related behavior and outcomes, including what this relationship means for prevention strategies and the delivery and effectiveness of treatment. Studies proposed under this opportunity could, for example, examine whether economic downturns increase stress related drinking or shift drinking from on premise to off premise settings, whether job loss or housing instability changes risk for alcohol use disorder, or how treatment demand and treatment engagement change when communities face economic hardship. The announcement is also relevant to systems level questions, such as whether prevention programs need to be adapted during recessions, whether safety net services buffer risk, or whether economic recovery phases create different patterns of use and harm than downturn phases.
The administering agency is the National Institutes of Health, with NIAAA as the institute issuing the announcement.
