Grant Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites U54 applications for the implementation of partnership awards between Institutions serving communities with Alcohol use related health disparities and other institutions with extensive alcohol research programs, including NIAAA-funded alcohol research centers and consortia. For the purpose of this FOA, the term Institutions that serve Underserved Communities and Populations (IUCP) will refer to academic or other organizations serving scientifically and medically underserved communities and populations, and Alcohol Research Centers (ARC) will refer to institutions with extensive alcohol research programs including NIAAA-funded alcohol research centers. This FOA is designed to facilitate planning and implementation of collaborative partnerships between IUCP and ARC to promote targeted research to reduce alcohol-related health disparities in underserved populations (e.g., African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders), as well as promote alcohol research expertise and infrastructure development at IUCP. Minority Serving institutions are particularly encouraged to consider applying for this opportunity, because these institutions have historically trained professionals from diverse backgrounds who provide health care to minority and underserved populations and are uniquely positioned to engage these populations in research and in the translation of research advances into culturally appropriate, measurable and sustained improvements in health outcomes.
