Opportunity Summary:
Resource support for Consortiums for HIV/AIDS and Alcohol Related Outcomes Research Trials (CHAART) U24 (RFA-AA-12-010) is a National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), NIH funding opportunity that uses a cooperative agreement mechanism (U24) to strengthen and extend the work of already NIAAA-supported research networks and centers focused on the intersection of alcohol use and HIV/AIDS. The intent is not to start brand-new standalone programs from scratch, but to provide resource support that helps existing NIAAA-funded Consortiums for HIV/AIDS and Alcohol Related Research Translation (CHARRT) and Alcohol and HIV/AIDS Centers (P01, P50, P60) expand their infrastructure and shared capabilities. The overall emphasis is on boosting multidisciplinary and integrative research that connects behavioral and biological approaches, with a strong translational orientation that moves findings toward real-world practice and public health impact.
The program is designed around the idea of “resource cores,†meaning shared services, platforms, expertise, and coordinating functions that can be used by multiple projects within a consortium or center to accelerate progress. NIAAA highlights three main goals for what these U24-supported resources should accomplish. First, the award should raise the level of collaboration across existing alcohol and HIV/AIDS research projects, especially in ways that improve the consortium’s ability to run translational, operational, and implementation science studies. In practical terms, this points to building the coordinating and methodological capacity needed to take evidence into clinical and community settings, test strategies at scale, and address barriers to adoption in health systems and vulnerable communities. Second, the FOA calls for enhanced capacity to evaluate how alcohol use and HIV affect outcomes over time using longitudinal designs, with particular attention to aging. This reflects a need to understand long-term trajectories, comorbidities, treatment response, and the compounded risks that can emerge as people with HIV live longer, especially when alcohol use complicates adherence, immune function, and overall health. Third, the FOA prioritizes facilitating implementation of alcohol and HIV/AIDS interventions in targeted U.S. populations at greatest risk, reinforcing that the expected impact includes improving treatment outcomes for people living with HIV who are affected by alcohol use and reducing HIV transmission through effective, deployable intervention strategies.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity in the health category, with an anticipated total funding level of about $2.5 million and an expectation of up to four awards. The award ceiling is listed as $500,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Because it is a cooperative agreement, awardees should expect substantial federal involvement compared to a standard research project grant, typically including NIH programmatic collaboration on planning, coordination, and oversight consistent with U24 cooperative agreement norms.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and governments. Eligible applicants include a range of public entities (state, county, city/township governments, special district governments), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) organizations), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other than small businesses). The FOA also explicitly includes various institution types and community-focused entities such as historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign institutions (non-U.S. entities) are not eligible to apply, though non-domestic components of U.S. organizations may be eligible; however, foreign components as defined by NIH policy are not allowed.
Key dates in the posted announcement indicate it was posted and created on January 31, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 2, 2012, and an archive date of May 3, 2012.
