Opportunity Summary:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) offered this discretionary grant opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number PA-12-031, titled "Screening and Brief Alcohol Interventions in Underage and Young Adult Populations (R01)." It was released on November 18, 2011, and supported research under the R01 grant mechanism within the health activity category, aligned with CFDA 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). The central purpose of the announcement was to stimulate and support rigorous research on screening approaches and brief intervention strategies designed to prevent and/or reduce alcohol use and alcohol-related harms among underage individuals and young adults. In practical terms, the FOA was oriented toward developing, testing, refining, and evaluating ways to identify risky alcohol use early (screening) and to apply short, targeted intervention methods (brief interventions) that can curb drinking behaviors and reduce negative consequences in these age groups.
The scope emphasized alcohol use prevention and harm reduction, focusing specifically on populations that are not yet of legal drinking age as well as young adults, a period when alcohol initiation, escalation, binge drinking, and related harms are common public health concerns. While the source text does not list specific settings or intervention formats, the title and objective point to research that could reasonably include screening tools, referral strategies, and time-limited counseling or behavioral techniques that can be delivered efficiently in real-world contexts. The use of the R01 mechanism also signals that NIH intended to fund substantial, hypothesis-driven projects capable of producing generalizable evidence about what works, for whom, and under what conditions when it comes to screening and brief alcohol interventions in these populations.
Eligibility was broad and inclusive, spanning many types of domestic and international institutions and organizations. Eligible applicants included state, county, city or township, and special district governments; public and private institutions of higher education; public and independent school districts; small businesses and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education when specified); and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The FOA also explicitly included a wide range of additional eligible applicants such as faith-based and community-based organizations, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), regional organizations, eligible agencies of the federal government, and U.S. territories or possessions. Importantly, non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) were eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were also eligible; foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement were allowed, which indicates NIH openness to internationally relevant research and collaborations where justified by the science.
Administrative details in the source data indicate there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of award. The announcement was posted and created on November 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date listed as January 7, 2015, and an archive date of February 7, 2015, indicating the opportunity is no longer active. For full details, NIH provided an additional information link to the formal program announcement page (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-12-031.html). For access or technical issues related to the electronic announcement, NIH directed applicants to contact the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
