Opportunity Summary:
The Research on Alcohol and HIV/AIDS (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-07-028) is a National Institutes of Health grant announcement from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) that supports investigator-initiated Research Project Grant (R01) studies examining how alcohol affects HIV/AIDS. The central purpose is to fund research that identifies and clearly describes the role of alcohol use, drinking patterns and behaviors, and the settings or environments in which drinking occurs, and how these factors shape HIV outcomes. The FOA emphasizes that alcohol is not just a background factor but can influence HIV risk and transmission, disease progression and biological mechanisms, and the effectiveness of prevention and treatment strategies. In practical terms, the program is looking for well-designed projects that connect alcohol-related factors to the epidemiology and natural history of HIV/AIDS, to the pathogenesis of disease (including biological and behavioral pathways), and to prevention, treatment, and broader control efforts.
A key theme is encouraging multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and collaborative work. This means NIAAA is signaling interest in applications that bring together expertise across fields such as infectious disease, addiction science, behavioral and social sciences, epidemiology, implementation science, clinical medicine, public health, and community-based research. The announcement explicitly frames the scope as spanning both epidemiologic questions (for example, how alcohol influences who gets infected, who stays in care, and who achieves viral suppression) and intervention questions (for example, testing strategies to reduce alcohol-related HIV risk, improve medication adherence, or strengthen engagement in HIV prevention or treatment services). The FOA also notes alignment with the NIH Fiscal Year 2006 Plan for HIV-Related Research, indicating that proposed projects should contribute to broader NIH HIV research priorities and public health goals.
This is a discretionary grant program using the NIH R01 mechanism, which generally supports substantial, hypothesis-driven or well-justified research projects that can include observational studies, clinical or community intervention studies, or mixed-method approaches, as long as they are responsive to the alcohol-HIV focus described in the announcement. The activity category is health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which lowers administrative and financial barriers for applicants and allows institutions to propose budgets consistent with NIH policy and the scientific needs of the project.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic applicants, such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), state and local governments (including county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, and special district governments), public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. The announcement also allows foreign institutions to apply, permits eligible federal agencies to apply, and explicitly states that faith-based and community-based organizations are eligible. This wide eligibility suggests NIAAA is open to diverse research settings and partnerships, including community-driven and international work where alcohol and HIV intersect in important ways.
The FOA was originally posted on November 20, 2006, with a creation date listed as December 5, 2008, and it used multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline, meaning applications could be submitted on standard NIH cycle dates during the active period of the announcement. The archive date is February 2, 2010, indicating the specific announcement has closed and is retained for historical reference, though similar NIH opportunities may exist under newer FOAs. For the official full text and detailed NIH instructions that governed submissions (including application requirements, review criteria, and any topic-specific guidance), the announcement pointed applicants to the NIH Grants Guide page at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-07-028.html and provided NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster contacts for access or linking issues.
