Alcohol Treatment, Pharmacotherapy, and Recovery Research (R34 Clinical Trial required)
NIH will fund R34 projects on alcohol use disorder treatment and recovery services research, including access, appeal, cost/insurance, dissemination and implementation, and disparity-focused approaches, with a clinical trial required or optional depending on the application path.
⚑ R34 mechanism; Clinical Trial required in this NOFO title/notice context, though description says Clinical Trial Optional · NIAAA alcohol health services focus; centered on treatment gap, dissemination/implementation, cost and insurance, and disparities · Foreign organizations are eligible · Award ceiling listed as $0 in the notice
This is an NIH alcohol treatment and health-services call centered on clinical trials, access to care, implementation, and disparities in AUD treatment. That is outside this team’s core program in risk communication, weather/climate hazards, energy/nuclear risk, and related public opinion research.

Description
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.
