The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has an

active interest in the support of research projects addressing the

genetic aspects of alcoholism.  In 1989, NIAAA issued Requests for

Applications (RFAs) for extramural research groups and a coordinating

center, respectively, for Cooperative Agreements on the Genetics of

Alcoholism.  The first five years of support for these awards will

end in 1994.  The NIAAA intends to continue this cooperative

agreement program for an additional five years and to limit

competition to investigators from current extramural research groups

and the coordinating center.  This limitation of eligibility is based

on the current awardees' unique access to the study probands and

their biological relatives, and unique expertise with respect to

interviewer training in the use of assessment instruments developed

specifically for this study.



Although competition for extension of this cooperative agreement is

limited, NIAAA calls attention to its program announcement entitled

"Genetic Studies in Alcohol Research" (PA-93-086) issued on May 21,

1993.  Research grant applications are encouraged under this program

announcement without any limitation on eligibility.
