This program funds investigator-initiated resource projects that provide data, materials, tools, or services to support alcohol-related biomedical, behavioral, and social health research. It is for applicants in the United States and includes higher education institutions, nonprofits, for-profits, governments, tribal organizations, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and federal entities; foreign organizations and foreign components are not allowed. Applications may be new, renewal, or resubmission, but clinical trials are not allowed and applications focused on HIV/AIDS resources, mechanistic or hypothesis-driven aims, or duplicating existing NIAAA resources are not responsive. Award budgets are not limited, the project period is 5 years, the number of awards depends on available funds and strong applications, and no cost sharing is required. NIAAA expects funded resources to serve at least 5 outside institutions or organizations, including at least 2 outside the awardee’s state.
What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
The purpose of the Resource-Related Research Projects (R24) grant is to support investigator-initiated resources designed to provide materials and services to support and advance biomedical research on a national basis. An R24 resource grant mechanism is a non-hypothesis-driven activity to provide data, materials, tools, or services that are essential to making timely, high quality, and cost-efficient progress in a field. Hypothesis-driven research applications should not be submitted in response to this program announcement but to another mechanism that encourages this type of research. The resource should be available to any qualified investigator, and should be highly quality controlled, and not duplicate resources available commercially or through other sources. Resources should be designed to provide services to the broad alcohol research community and should not be limited by any specific regional focus.
