This FOA will emphasize multiple topics related to the broad field of treatment of and recovery from AUD. Areas of interest include the following: medications development, precision medicine, behavioral health therapies and mechanisms of behavioral change (MOBC), recovery from AUD, and translational research. Medications development includes developing and evaluating new, more efficacious and safe medications for AUD and comorbid conditions.

Advancing precision medicine for AUD should informs diagnosis and treatment of AUD based on biomarkers and clinical and behavioral characteristics.
Other areas of interest include topics focusing on special-emphasis and underserved populations of individuals with AUD. Specific examples include research related to health disparities, age, gender, race and ethnicity, sexual and gender minorities, and co-occurring psychiatric and other substance use disorders.
