Applications may come from a wide range of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, and foreign organizations and foreign components of U.S. organizations are allowed. Direct costs are limited to $450,000 over up to 3 years, with no more than $225,000 in direct costs in any single year, and the number of awards depends on appropriations and meritorious applications.
What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism solicits applications for an R34 Clinical Trial Optional mechanism focusing on alcohol health services. This NOFO will broadly focus on closing the treatment gap for individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD); within this focus, there are five major areas of emphasis: (1) increasing access to treatment for AUD, (2) making treatment for AUD more appealing, (3) examining cost structures and insurance systems, (4) conducting studies on dissemination and implementation of existing evidence-based approaches to treating AUD, and (5) reducing health disparities as a means of addressing the treatment gap in AUD for health disparity populations.
