Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Screening and Brief Alcohol Interventions in Underage and Young Adult Populations (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-07-406) is a discretionary NIH research funding announcement led by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). Its central goal is to support research that improves how alcohol use is identified early and how short, practical interventions can be used to prevent alcohol initiation, reduce drinking levels, and lower alcohol-related harms among underage individuals and young adults. The focus is on strategies that can be deployed in real-world settings to curb risky drinking and its consequences, emphasizing approaches that are feasible, scalable, and capable of making a measurable public health impact.
This announcement uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, which is typically intended for mature, hypothesis-driven projects with clearly defined aims, rigorous study designs, and enough scope to support multi-year research plans. It is also part of a coordinated set of announcements with the same scientific topic offered under different NIH mechanisms: an R03 option for smaller, more limited-scope projects (PA-07-408) and an R21 option for exploratory or developmental work (PA-07-407). In practical terms, PA-07-406 is aimed at applicants who are ready to conduct a full-scale research project rather than a pilot or early-stage feasibility study.
The scientific emphasis is on screening and brief interventions related to alcohol use in younger populations, meaning research that examines how to quickly detect problematic drinking patterns (or risk factors for them) and how to deliver concise interventions that can be implemented without extensive time, specialized infrastructure, or long treatment courses. The announcement highlights preventing and/or reducing alcohol use as well as addressing adverse consequences, which can include injuries, unsafe sexual behavior, impaired driving, academic or occupational problems, violence, and other health and social harms associated with underage and young adult drinking. While the summary language is broad, it signals interest in both the effectiveness of these approaches and how they can be implemented across relevant settings where youth and young adults can be reached.
Funding under this FOA is not guaranteed and depends on congressional appropriations and NIAAA/NIH budget availability, as well as the number and quality of applications received. The announcement does not promise a set number of awards; instead, it indicates awards will be made if there are sufficient meritorious proposals. The program is tied to CFDA number 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs), placing it within NIH's established alcohol research portfolio.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations as well as foreign institutions. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), state governments and other governmental entities (such as special district governments and independent school districts), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. The announcement also clarifies that faith-based and community-based organizations may apply, and eligible federal agencies can apply as well. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally makes the funding more accessible because applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to support the project.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the opportunity was posted on July 17, 2007, with multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline, and the listed current closing date in the record is January 7, 2011, with an archive date of February 7, 2011. Applicants were directed to the full NIH Guide announcement for exact receipt dates and submission instructions. The official information and full program details were provided through the NIH grants website link associated with PA-07-406, and NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) web support contacts were listed for technical issues accessing the announcement.
Overall, PA-07-406 is designed to build the evidence base for practical, brief approaches that can identify and reduce risky alcohol use among underage individuals and young adults, using the R01 mechanism to support more comprehensive research studies that can produce strong, generalizable findings and inform prevention and early-intervention practice.
