Description
This opportunity, offered by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) at NIH, solicits R01 research project grant applications focused on alcohol health services. The overarching goal is to close the treatment gap for individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD). The program encourages research in five major areas:
- Increasing access to treatment for AUD
- Making treatment for AUD more appealing
- Examining cost structures and insurance systems
- Dissemination and implementation of evidence-based approaches to treating AUD
- Reducing health disparities in AUD treatment, especially for health disparity populations
Projects may address one or more of these areas and are encouraged to use innovative study designs, including hybrid effectiveness-implementation, SMART, and MOST designs. Both clinical trial and non-clinical trial applications are accepted.
