The ABMRF/Foundation for Alcohol Research is inviting applications for grants in support of research on the effects of alcohol consumption on health and behavior.
The Foundation encourages basic and clinical research, including epidemiology. Examples of alcohol research topics include factors influencing underage drinking, mechanisms of alcohol-related organ injury, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, and effects of alcohol on general health.
Areas of Interest
- Studies on how particular patterns of consumption (quantity of alcohol consumed, types of alcoholic beverages consumed, frequency of consumption and context) are related to health and behavioral outcomes.
- Interdisciplinary, bio-informatics, and other approaches to elucidate genetic and environmental factors that influence the patterns of consumption of alcoholic beverages and related consequences.
Who may submit an application to ABMRF/The Foundation for Alcohol Research?
Applications may be submitted by public or private nonprofit organizations such as universities, colleges, hospitals, research institutes and organizations, and governmental research agencies and laboratories in the United States, Canada and South Africa. Since it's founding in 1982, the Foundation has awarded grants to researchers at over 260 distinguished institutions in the U.S. and Canada. Grants are only made to institutions on behalf of a named principal investigator, not to individuals. The proposed principal investigator of the research project must be a faculty or staff member of the applicant institution. This person must be qualified to direct the research and is responsible for its conduct. Persons on training status—such as undergraduate, graduate and medical students, postdoctoral fellows, interns and residents—are not eligible to serve as principal investigators, unless they will be in independent faculty positions, or the equivalent, at the start of the grant period. Priority is given to young investigators, defined as a researcher in an independent faculty position, within 10 years of their post-doctoral fellowship and not having yet received a RO1 from the National Institutes of Health.
