Opportunity Summary:
The NIH grant opportunity "Secondary Analyses of Existing Alcohol Epidemiology Data (R21)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-14-336) was designed to fund investigator-initiated projects that reanalyze data that already exist, rather than collecting new data. The central purpose is to use established alcohol-related epidemiology datasets to deepen what is known about how people drink, how alcohol-related problems emerge and persist in communities, and which factors increase risk or provide protection across different populations. Because it uses the R21 mechanism, the emphasis is generally on exploratory, developmental, or proof-of-concept work that can generate strong preliminary findings, refine hypotheses, or demonstrate the value of new analytic approaches.
At the topic level, the FOA prioritizes research that improves understanding of the incidence and prevalence of alcohol-related problems and disorders, along with their etiology, meaning the pathways and contributing causes behind the development of alcohol misuse and alcohol use disorders. Projects are expected to make meaningful use of existing datasets to answer questions that could shift or sharpen how the field understands alcohol consumption patterns and alcohol-related harm in the population. In practical terms, that can include studying differences by age group, sex, race and ethnicity, geography, or other demographic and social determinants; examining comorbidity with mental health or other substance use; or identifying risk and protective factors that explain why some people or groups experience greater harm at similar levels of consumption.
A notable feature of the announcement is that it explicitly welcomes studies that push methodology forward. Beyond simply applying standard statistical approaches, the FOA highlights interest in analytic techniques that demonstrate or promote methodological advances in alcohol epidemiology research. That can include improved measurement strategies, better handling of missing or biased data, innovative modeling of trajectories over time, causal inference methods, approaches that leverage complex survey designs, or other advanced epidemiologic and biostatistical methods that strengthen the reliability and interpretability of results drawn from existing data resources.
From an administrative and eligibility standpoint, this was a discretionary NIH grant program under the health funding activity category, listed under CFDA number 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). The award ceiling was set at $275,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was broad and included many types of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations. Eligible applicants included for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) and small businesses; nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status); public and private institutions of higher education; and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city or township, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The FOA also explicitly listed a wide range of institution types and community-serving organizations as eligible, including HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, AANAPISI institutions, tribal colleges and universities, tribally controlled colleges and universities, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and eligible federal agencies.
International participation was allowed. Non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) could apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were eligible, and foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement were permitted. This makes the opportunity relevant to investigators working with internationally collected alcohol epidemiology datasets or cross-national comparative data, as long as the proposed work fits the FOA focus on secondary analysis and alcohol epidemiology.
In terms of timing and status, the FOA was posted and created on September 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date listed as September 7, 2017, and an archive date of October 8, 2017. That means this particular announcement is no longer active for new submissions, but it remains a useful reference point for understanding NIH priorities around secondary analysis in alcohol epidemiology and for locating related, newer NIH opportunities with similar goals. The full announcement was linked through the NIH Grants Guide, and contact information was provided through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster channels for access or technical issues related to the posting.
FAQs: Secondary Analyses of Existing Alcohol Epidemiology Data (R21) (PA-14-336)
What is the NIH funding opportunity PA-14-336?

What is the main purpose of this FOA?
The central purpose is to use established alcohol epidemiology datasets to deepen understanding of how people drink, how alcohol-related problems emerge and persist in communities, and which factors increase risk or provide protection across different populations.
Does this opportunity fund new data collection?
No. The FOA emphasizes secondary analyses of data that already exist, not the collection of new data.
What does the R21 mechanism imply about the type of research expected?
Because it uses the R21 mechanism, the emphasis is generally on exploratory, developmental, or proof-of-concept work. Projects are expected to generate strong preliminary findings, refine hypotheses, or demonstrate the value of new analytic approaches using existing datasets.
What research topics were prioritized in this announcement?
