This grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) aims to support research centers that focus on alcohol misuse, Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), and related health issues. The goal is to encourage interdisciplinary research and collaboration among scientists to explore innovative and understudied areas related to alcohol's effects on health. The centers should also help develop new research methods and mentor young researchers.
Who it's for: This grant is for institutions and organizations that conduct research, including public and private universities, small businesses, nonprofits, school districts, tribal governments, and local and state governments. The focus is on those who can contribute to alcohol-related research and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.
