This Notice informs National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) grantee institutions of a change to the method of applying for diversity supplement funds beginning with the Fiscal Year 2017 award cycle.

NIAAA will accept applications only twice a year on or before February 1 and May 1.
