Research on Alcohol Related Public Policies such as Those Detailed in the Alcohol Policy Information System (R01) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) offered this grant opportunity to support research that examines how alcohol-related public policies shape health behaviors and health outcomes. The central focus is on generating solid evidence about whether specific policy approaches reduce harmful drinking, prevent alcohol-related disease and injury, and lower alcohol-attributable deaths. In addition to testing policy impacts, the opportunity also emphasizes rigorous evaluation of public policy strategies and the development or improvement of research methods and measurements used to study the relationship between policy environments and real-world public health outcomes. The FOA highlights policies like those cataloged in the Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS), signaling interest in research that uses policy data that can be compared across states, jurisdictions, or time periods.

The funding mechanism is the NIH Research Project Grant (R01), which generally supports substantial, hypothesis-driven projects that may require multiple years of work, larger teams, and more robust research infrastructure than smaller exploratory awards. This FOA ran in parallel with two companion announcements that had the same scientific scope but used different mechanisms: an R03 (typically small, short-term projects) and an R21 (exploratory or developmental research). Applicants were expected to choose the mechanism that best matched their project stage and scale, with this specific announcement (PA-07-427) reserved for full R01 proposals.

Rather than setting a fixed budget cap or a guaranteed number of awards, the announcement makes it clear that award size and project duration would vary depending on what each study requires. In practice, that means proposals could range from targeted evaluations of a single policy change to larger, multi-state analyses or longitudinal studies, as long as the scope and costs were well justified. The total amount awarded and the number of grants funded were to be determined by the number of applications received, their scientific quality, the duration of proposed work, and the requested costs.

The eligible applicant pool was broad and included many types of U.S. organizations and governments, such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and local, county, state, and special district governments. The eligibility language also explicitly included federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations, and it allowed faith-based and community-based organizations to apply. Foreign institutions were eligible, and eligible federal agencies could apply as well. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that do not have access to non-federal matching funds.

Administratively, this was a discretionary grant opportunity in the health category under CFDA number 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). It was posted on August 8, 2007, and used multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline, meaning applications could be submitted across several cycles (with the specific dates provided in the full announcement). The opportunity was later archived on October 10, 2010. The full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants guide, and NIH provided a contact route through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement.

Overall, this FOA was designed for organizations capable of conducting policy-relevant, methodologically strong research that connects alcohol policy choices to measurable changes in behavior and health outcomes, with an emphasis on evaluations that can inform future public health decision-making and improve how policy effects are studied and measured.
