Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Research on Alcohol Related Public Policies such as Those Detailed in the Alcohol Policy Information System (R01)," is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary funding announcement (Funding Opportunity Number PA 11 087) administered through the alcohol research program area (CFDA 93.273). It supports R01 research grants focused on understanding how alcohol-related public policies influence real-world outcomes, including health, economic conditions, and social behaviors. The central aim is to strengthen evidence on alcohol policy as a practical tool for improving public health and overall welfare, rather than treating policy as a background factor. In other words, the program is looking for studies that can help explain which policies work, for whom they work, under what conditions, and why.
A defining feature of this announcement is its emphasis on using the Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS), a policy data resource developed by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). Applicants are strongly encouraged to incorporate APIS information into their research designs. APIS is intended to make alcohol policy research more rigorous and comparable by providing structured, policy-specific data that can be linked to outcomes like consumption patterns, alcohol-related harms, healthcare utilization, crime, and other social indicators. While the FOA is not limited exclusively to APIS-based projects, it clearly signals that studies leveraging APIS are especially welcome because they can improve measurement consistency and reduce ambiguity about what specific policy provisions were in effect at particular times and places.
The scope of research supported by this FOA is broad but clearly centered on policy impact. Proposed projects may examine how alcohol-related public policies affect health-related behaviors and outcomes, such as drinking levels, binge drinking, alcohol use disorders, impaired driving, injuries, violence, chronic disease consequences, or other downstream health effects. The FOA also supports evaluations that treat public policy as an intervention, meaning studies that assess whether changes in laws or regulations lead to measurable improvements in population health or safety, and whether any benefits vary across communities or demographic groups. Another important area highlighted is methods and measurement research, including work that improves how alcohol policies are categorized, quantified, compared across jurisdictions, or modeled statistically, as well as approaches that better capture policy implementation, enforcement, and real-world exposure.
In terms of applicant eligibility, the FOA is open to a wide range of organizations. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) organizations), small businesses, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). It also includes many governmental entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The eligibility list also extends to Native American tribal governments (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized) and tribal organizations, as well as tribally controlled colleges and universities. In addition, the announcement explicitly notes other eligible applicants such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and even non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally makes it easier for applicants to propose substantial work without needing to secure separate mandatory matching funds.
Key administrative details provided in the source information include a posted date of January 4, 2011, with a closing timeline that ultimately lists a current closing date of September 7, 2014, and an archive date of October 7, 2014. The full announcement was made available through the NIH grants site, with an additional information link pointing to the NIH guide page for PA 11 087. For technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Overall, this FOA is designed for research teams that want to treat alcohol policy as a measurable, testable influence on population outcomes. It encourages strong empirical designs that connect clearly defined policy environments (especially those captured in APIS) with meaningful public health, economic, and social endpoints, while also supporting methodological advances that make alcohol policy research more accurate, reproducible, and useful for decision-makers.
