Purpose

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism intends to renew an initiative by publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to solicit applications for an R01 Clinical Trial Optional mechanism focusing on health disparities and health services. This FOA will include five areas of focus: access to treatment, making treatment more appealing, costs, dissemination and implementation, and health disparities. Applications are expected to emphasize health disparities in addition to the other four areas of emphasis.

This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.

The FOA is expected to be published in Winter 2021 with an expected application due date in Spring 2021.

This FOA will utilize the R01 Clinical Trial Optional activity code. Details of the planned FOA are provided below.

Research Initiative Details

This Notice encourages investigators with expertise and insights into the area of health disparities in health services for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) to begin to consider applying for this new FOA.

With this Funding Opportunity Announcement FOA, NIAAA seeks to fund four to seven grant applications with the goal of expanding our portfolio in health services research. This FOA will emphasize five main areas in health services research. These five areas include accessibility, increased treatment appeal, costs, dissemination and implementation, and health disparities. Applications should focus on health disparities and at least one other topic of focus (i.e., accessibility, treatment appeal, costs, dissemination and implementation. We are also particularly interested in applications using study designs extending beyond standard randomized clinical trials, e.g., effectiveness-implementation hybrid, Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART), and multiphase optimization study (MOST). In all studies, at all levels of investigation, efforts will be made to include participants that reflect the diversity of the population at large.
