Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Secondary Analyses of Alcohol and Chronic Disease (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-13-260) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program that supports investigator-initiated research using the R01 mechanism. Its central purpose is to encourage researchers to conduct secondary analyses of existing datasets to better understand how alcohol use relates to the development, progression, and distribution of chronic diseases. Rather than funding new data collection efforts, this FOA is designed to promote innovative, cost-effective research that makes strong use of previously collected information, such as large cohort studies, clinical trial datasets, surveillance systems, electronic health records, registries, or other established research resources where alcohol exposure and relevant health outcomes are available or can be derived.
From a scientific standpoint, the emphasis is on alcohol in relation to chronic disease etiology and epidemiology. In practical terms, that means the program is interested in studies that can clarify patterns of risk, identify associations and potential causal pathways, evaluate differences across populations, and refine measurement or analytic approaches related to alcohol exposure and chronic disease outcomes. Projects funded under this FOA would typically pose new questions or apply new methods to existing data, for example by examining subgroups that were not previously analyzed, testing novel hypotheses about dose, timing, or drinking patterns, exploring interactions with comorbidities or social determinants of health, or using advanced statistical techniques to address confounding, mediation, or bias. The overall goal is to accelerate knowledge generation without the time and expense required for primary data collection, while still producing findings that meaningfully advance alcohol-related chronic disease research.
Eligibility under PA-13-260 is broad and includes many types of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (including those other than universities), small businesses and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and a wide range of government entities such as state, county, city or township, special district governments, and independent school districts. Housing authorities, including public and Indian housing authorities, are also included. The FOA further clarifies that a variety of mission-focused institutions and community-connected organizations may apply, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. Importantly, foreign organizations and foreign institutions are eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may participate, and foreign components are allowed as defined by NIH policy, which expands the potential applicant pool for analyses of international or multi-country datasets.
Administratively, the program falls under the NIH Alcohol Research Programs catalog listing (CFDA 93.273). It does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which reduces financial barriers for many applicants. The announcement was posted and created on July 8, 2013, with an original and final closing date of September 7, 2016, and an archive date of October 8, 2016. While the FOA is now archived, the details remain useful for understanding the NIH approach to funding secondary data analyses in alcohol and chronic disease research and for locating similar, current NIH opportunities that carry forward comparable priorities.
For applicants seeking the official announcement language and requirements, the FOA was published on the NIH grants site, and a link was provided to the full text: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-260.html.

What is the "Secondary Analyses of Alcohol and Chronic Disease (R01)" opportunity?
It is an NIH discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-13-260) that supported investigator-initiated research using the R01 mechanism. The focus is on conducting secondary analyses of existing datasets to understand how alcohol use relates to the development, progression, and distribution of chronic diseases.
What is the main goal of this funding opportunity?
The main goal is to encourage innovative, cost-effective research that uses already-collected data to generate new knowledge about alcohol and chronic disease etiology and epidemiology, without funding new primary data collection.
Does this opportunity fund new data collection?
No. The FOA is designed to fund secondary analyses of existing datasets rather than new data collection efforts.
What type of research questions fit the scientific scope?
The emphasis is on alcohol in relation to chronic disease etiology and epidemiology.

What does "secondary analysis" mean in the context of this FOA?
In this FOA, secondary analysis refers to using previously collected data to address new questions or apply new methods, rather than collecting new participant data as part of the funded project.
What kinds of analytic approaches or study angles does the FOA encourage?
The FOA describes projects that pose new questions or apply new methods to existing data, including analyzing subgroups not previously examined, testing novel hypotheses about dose, timing, or drinking patterns, exploring interactions with comorbidities or social determinants of health, or using advanced statistical techniques to address confounding, mediation, or bias.
