Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites U54 applications for the implementation of partnership awards between institutions serving underserved communities and populations 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, but not limited to, NIAAA-funded alcohol research centers. This FOA is designed to facilitate planning and implementation of collaborative partnerships between IUCP and ARC to enhance the development of a diverse biomedical workforce (e.g., African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders). Through productive partnership with ARC, this FOA aims to build and promote alcohol research expertise and to develop alcohol research infrastructure and capacity at IUCP. Institutions serving diverse and disadvantaged communities with a documented historical mission to educate students from nationally underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to consider applying for this opportunity, because these institutions historically have trained professionals from diverse backgrounds who provide health care to 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
