Alcohol Research Center Grants, $29,625,000 total funding
Purpose of this program:
To provide long-term support for a concerted and multi-disciplinary research effort into the problems of alcohol use and alcoholism by coordinating the activities of investigators from biomedical, behavioral, and social science disciplines around a basic research theme. An alcohol research center is expected to realize its greater potential for contributing to the basic store of knowledge about alcohol and alcoholism and to become a significant regional and national resource.
Possible uses and use restrictions...
Alcohol research center grant funds may be used for support of core resources including, for example, salaries of center personnel, services and facilities shared by center personnel, and program enrichment activities such as symposia. Support for individual components may include staff salaries, supplies, publication, travel and equipment. Funds may not be used for training, although the applicant is required to demonstrate an institutional training capacity related to alcohol. Funds may not be used for purchase of any land or the purchase, construction, preservation or repair of any building, and grantees must have sufficient laboratory facilities and reference services to carry out the grant. Support will be provided for up to 5 years (renewable for subsequent periods) to qualifying centers selected for funding. No annual grant may exceed $2,000,000 in total costs. The actual amount of support awarded will depend upon the appropriateness of the proposed center budget to the approved Center program, as well as the availability of funds.
Who is eligible to apply...
State and local governments, any domestic (nonfederal) public or private nonprofit and for-profit institution may apply for a center grant. However, the proposed center must be affiliated with an institution, such as a university, medical center, or research center, that has the resources to sustain a long-term coordinated research program around a central theme related to problems of alcohol use and alcoholism. An applicant institution must demonstrate the ability to attract high quality scientists, from biomedical, behavioral, and social science disciplines, who are willing to make a long-term commitment to alcohol research.

Beneficiaries
* Other public institution/organization
About this section:
This section lists the ultimate beneficiaries of a program, the criteria they must satisfy and who specifically is not eligible. The applicant and beneficiary will generally be the same for programs that provide assistance directly from a Federal agency. However, financial assistance that passes through State or local governments will have different applicants and beneficiaries since the assistance is transmitted to private sector beneficiaries who are not obligated to request or apply for the assistance.
What types of assistance...
Project Grants
The funding, for fixed or known periods, of specific projects. Project grants can include fellowships, scholarships, research grants, training grants, traineeships, experimental and demonstration grants, evaluation grants, planning grants, technical assistance grants, survey grants, and construction grants.
How much financial aid...
Range and Average of Financial Assistance
$1,237,000 to $1,986,000; $1,635,000.
Note: This section lists the representative range (smallest to largest) of the amount of financial assistance available.

Also indicated is an approximate average amount of awards which were made in the past and current fiscal years.
Obligations
(Grants) FY 03 $26,171,000; FY 04 est $29,625,000; and FY 05 est $31,253,000.
Note: The dollar amounts listed in this section represent obligations for the past fiscal year (PY), estimates for the current fiscal year (CY), and estimates for the budget fiscal year (BY) as reported by the Federal agencies. Obligations for non-financial assistance programs indicate the administrative expenses involved in the operation of a program.
Account Identification
75-0894-0-1-552.
Note: Note: This 11-digit budget account identification code represents the account which funds a particular program. This code should be consistent with the code given for the program area as specified in Appendix III of the Budget of the United States Government.
Examples of funded projects...
Genetic approaches to neuropharmacology of ethanol, effects of alcohol on the central nervous system, the etiology and treatment of alcoholism, metabolism of alcohol and pathological effects, epidemiology of alcohol problems, environmental approaches to prevention, and neurobehavioral effects of fetal alcohol exposure.
About this section
This section indicates the different types of projects which have been funded in the past. Only projects funded under Project Grants or Direct Payments for Specified Use should be listed here. The examples give potential applicants an idea of the types of projects that may be accepted for funding. The agency should list at least five examples of the most recently funded projects.
Program accomplishments...
During fiscal year 2003, 15 alcohol research center grants were awarded. In fiscal years 2004 and 2005, the estimate is for 15 grants to be awarded.
Criteria for selecting proposals...
Scientific/technical merit, the feasibility of the research, alcoholism implications and relevance to NIAAA priorities and public health issues are all considerations in determining what projects will be funded.
Assistance considerations...
Length and Time Phasing of Assistance
The normal project period for an alcohol research center grant is 5 years. Grantees may apply for renewal of support on a competing basis. Within the project period, continuation applications must be submitted on a non-competing basis for each year of approved support. Payments will be made either on a Monthly Cash Request System or under an Electronic Transfer System. Necessary instructions for the appropriate type of payment will be issued shortly after an award is made.
Formula and Matching Requirements
This program has no statutory formula or matching requirements.
Note:
A formula may be based on population, per capita income, and other statistical factors. Applicants are informed whether there are any matching requirements to be met when participating in the cost of a project. In general, the matching share represents that portion of the project costs not borne by the Federal government. Attachment F of OMB Circular No. A-102 (Office of Management and Budget) sets forth the criteria and procedures for the evaluation of matching share requirements which may be cash or in-kind contributions made by State and local governments or other agencies, institutions, private organizations, or individuals to satisfy matching requirements of Federal grants or loans.
Cash contributions represent the grantees' cash outlay, including the outlay of money contributed to the grantee by other public agencies, institutions, private organizations, or individuals. When authorized by Federal regulation, Federal funds received from other grants may be considered as the grantees' cash contribution.
In-kind contributions represent the value of noncash contributions provided by the grantee, other public agencies and institutions, private organizations or individuals. In-kind contributions may consist of charges for real property and equipment, and value of goods and services directly benefiting and specifically identifiable to the grant program. When authorized by Federal legislation, property purchased with Federal funds may be considered as grantees' in-kind contribution.
Maintenance of effort (MOE) is a requirement contained in certain legislation, regulations, or administrative policies stating that a grantee must maintain a specified level of financial effort in a specific area in order to receive Federal grant funds, and that the Federal grant funds may be used only to supplement, not supplant, the level of grantee funds.
Post assistance requirements...
Reports
Centers will be required to submit detailed annual progress reports (including substantive information about research results to date, status of ongoing research, research plans for the next year and any modifications in long-term research plans). Also, inventions reporting, financial status reports, final progress reports, and other reports are required to be filed in accordance with PHS policy.
Note: This section indicates whether program reports, expenditure reports, cash reports or performance monitoring are required by the Federal funding agency, and specifies at what time intervals (monthly, annually, etc.) this must be accomplished.
Audits
Audits are to be carried out in accordance with the provisions set forth in 45 CFR Part 74, Subpart C, Section 74.26 and in OMB Circular No. A-133, as appropriate. In addition, grants and cooperative agreements are subject to inspection and audits by DHHS and other Federal officials. In accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular No. A-133, (Revised, June 24, 1997), "Audits of States, Local Governments, and Nonprofit Organizations," nonfederal entities that expend financial assistance of $300,000 or more in Federal Awards will have a single or a program-specific audit conducted for that year. Nonfederal entities that expend less than $300,000 a year in Federal awards are exempt from Federal audit requirements for the year, except as noted in Circular No. A-133.
Note: This section discusses audits required by the Federal agency. The procedures and requirements for State and local governments and nonprofit entities are set forth in OMB Circular No. A-133. These requirements pertain to awards made within the respective State's fiscal year - not the Federal fiscal year, as some State and local governments may use the calendar year or other variation of time span designated as the fiscal year period, rather than that commonly known as the Federal fiscal year (from October 1st through September 30th).
Records
Records must be retained at least 3 years; records shall be retained beyond the 3-year period if audit findings have not been received.
Note: This section indicates the record retention requirements and the type of records the Federal agency may require. Not included are the normally imposed requirements of the General Accounting Office. For programs falling under the purview of OMB Circular No. A-102, record retention is set forth in Attachment C. For other programs, record retention is governed by the funding agency's requirements.
