Opportunity Summary:
The Screening and Brief Alcohol Interventions in Underage and Young Adult Populations (R21) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-07-407) is a discretionary research grant program from the National Institutes of Health, specifically the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). Its core goal is to stimulate new research on how to identify risky or harmful drinking early and how to deliver brief, practical interventions that can prevent alcohol use or reduce drinking and its negative outcomes among underage individuals and young adults. In other words, the emphasis is on studies that improve screening approaches (how to detect alcohol risk efficiently in real-world settings) and brief intervention strategies (short, targeted counseling or behavioral supports that can be delivered in places like clinics, schools, or community environments), with the intent of reducing both alcohol consumption and alcohol-related consequences.
This announcement uses the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21) mechanism, which is designed for earlier-stage, innovative, or high-impact ideas that may need initial proof-of-concept data rather than a large, fully mature research program. The FOA notes that it is part of a set of parallel announcements with the same scientific scope, alongside an R01 version (PA-07-406) for more extensive projects and an R03 version (PA-07-408) for small research projects. Applicants whose ideas fit the screening and brief intervention theme could choose among these mechanisms depending on the maturity, size, and aims of their proposed work, with PA-07-407 specifically supporting exploratory/developmental projects.
Funding levels and the number of awards are not fixed in advance because NIAAA expects applications to vary widely in design, duration, and cost. That said, the listing provides an award ceiling of $200,000, reflecting the upper bound stated in the summary materials. Final funding decisions depend on typical NIH factors such as scientific merit, project period, budget justification, and the overall quality and relevance of the applications received. The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations and some non-domestic entities. Eligible applicants listed include 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 and other for-profits), state and local governmental units (such as state governments, independent school districts, special district governments), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. The announcement also specifies that foreign institutions are eligible to apply, eligible federal agencies may apply, and faith-based or community-based organizations are allowed to submit proposals, which signals an intent to encourage a wide range of institutions that can study or implement screening and brief intervention models in diverse populations and settings.
Key administrative details in the source information include a posted date of July 17, 2007, with multiple receipt dates and a final listed closing date of January 7, 2011, followed by an archive date of February 7, 2011. The program is categorized under CFDA 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs) and is administered under the NIH grants system. For full requirements, application instructions, and the complete text of the announcement, the FOA points applicants to the NIH Grants Guide link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-07-407.html) and provides the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts for technical issues accessing the materials.
