Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Secondary Analysis of Existing Alcohol Epidemiology Data (R03)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-11-309) is a National Institutes of Health program administered through the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). It uses the NIH R03 mechanism, which is designed for small, focused research projects, and it specifically supports studies that rely on secondary analysis. In practical terms, the FOA is aimed at investigators and organizations that want to answer new, well-defined research questions by analyzing data that already exist rather than collecting new primary data. The overall purpose is to strengthen the evidence base on alcohol use patterns and the epidemiology of alcohol-related problems, including how alcohol consumption and related harms vary across populations, settings, and time.
A central emphasis of this FOA is improving understanding of the distribution, determinants, and consequences of alcohol use and alcohol-related outcomes using existing datasets. Projects supported under this announcement are expected to make meaningful scientific contributions by leveraging already-collected information, such as large surveys, surveillance systems, administrative records, clinical or community cohort studies, or other archived research datasets. Because the mechanism is a small grant, it is generally most suitable for targeted analyses, proof-of-concept work, methodological refinement, exploratory hypothesis testing, or projects that can be completed efficiently with limited resources while still producing publishable, policy-relevant findings.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant within the health funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The FOA was posted and created on August 12, 2011, with an original closing date of September 7, 2014, and it was archived on October 8, 2014. While it is no longer open, the announcement provides a clear example of how NIAAA solicits small-grant proposals to extract additional value from existing alcohol epidemiology data resources.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organization types. Eligible applicants listed include small businesses; state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories as specified). The FOA also allows for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and it includes an "others" category with further clarification in the full announcement. Additional eligible applicants explicitly noted include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. Importantly, non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components are allowed as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement, opening the door for international research teams to conduct analyses that are relevant to alcohol epidemiology.
From an applicant standpoint, the key idea behind this FOA is to propose a rigorous and well-justified secondary analysis plan that uses an existing dataset to address important questions about alcohol consumption patterns and alcohol-related problems. Competitive projects under this type of announcement typically demonstrate that the applicant has legitimate access to the data, understands the dataset well enough to support the proposed aims, and can execute an appropriate analytic strategy. The announcement also implies a focus on maximizing scientific yield from existing data resources, which often means producing findings that are generalizable, capable of informing prevention or intervention priorities, or useful for shaping future research directions in alcohol epidemiology.
