Alcohol Health Services Research (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism solicits applications for an R01 Clinical Trial Optional mechanism focusing on alcohol health services research. This program broadly focuses on closing the treatment gap for individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD). 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. This funding opportunity supports research that aims to improve alcohol health services delivery, enhance treatment accessibility, and reduce disparities in care for individuals affected by alcohol use disorder.
