Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity titled Research on Alcohol and HIV/AIDS (R21) (Funding Opportunity Number PA-10-105) supports exploratory and developmental research that strengthens the evidence base at the intersection of alcohol use and HIV/AIDS. The core idea is to bring more researchers into this cross-cutting area, especially investigators who may be strong in one field but have limited experience in the other. It is designed to attract alcohol researchers who recognize how problem drinking can affect HIV risk and HIV-related outcomes, HIV/AIDS researchers who see the need to address alcohol use more directly to improve prevention and clinical care results, and teams that already work on co-occurring HIV and alcohol or broader substance use issues but want to test newer concepts or pilot emerging approaches.
This announcement uses the NIH R21 mechanism, which is meant for early-stage, high-potential projects that can generate preliminary data, prove feasibility, or open up new directions that later can be scaled into larger studies. In other words, the expectation is not necessarily a fully mature, multi-year definitive trial, but rather an innovative project that can establish whether an idea is workable and scientifically promising in the alcohol and HIV/AIDS space. The FOA also notes that it is part of a coordinated set of opportunities with the same scientific scope offered under other NIH mechanisms: an R01 version (PA-10-103) for more comprehensive, full-scale research projects, and an R03 version (PA-10-104) for smaller, more limited studies. Applicants are encouraged to review the full announcement carefully because the range of possible research objectives is broad and can accommodate many angles, populations, and methods.
Funding levels and the number of awards are not fixed in advance because NIH expects applications to vary widely in scope, duration, and budget needs. That said, the listing includes an award ceiling of $200,000 (as presented in the opportunity summary), and NIH indicates that the total number of awards and total dollars will ultimately depend on the number of submissions, their scientific quality, the requested project periods, and the costs proposed. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which helps reduce barriers for organizations that cannot contribute non-federal funds.
Eligibility is intentionally wide to encourage participation from many types of institutions and community settings relevant to HIV and alcohol research. Eligible applicants include state, county, city, township, and special district governments; public and private institutions of higher education; public and state-controlled universities; independent school districts; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted exception category regarding institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses. The announcement also explicitly includes a variety of additional eligible entities such as federally recognized and other tribal governments and organizations, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based and community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and non-U.S. (foreign) organizations. This breadth signals NIH interest in supporting research that can be conducted in diverse healthcare, community, and international contexts where alcohol use and HIV burdens overlap.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant within the health area and is listed under CFDA 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). It was posted on February 3, 2010, and the original and current closing date shown is January 7, 2013, with an archive date of February 7, 2013, indicating it is no longer active but remains useful as a reference for how NIH framed this research priority. The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, and the full archived announcement was made available through the NIH grants guide at the provided link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-10-105.html).
