NIAAA Alcohol Research Centers or other institutions with extensive research efforts focused on alcohol (non-MSI research intensive institutions).

The long range goal of the Collaborative Minority Alcohol Research Center Development Program is to strengthen the alcohol research capacity of MSIs.

The purpose of this collaborative program is to develop alcohol research expertise, promote infrastructure development at MSIs, and to identify, characterize, and reduce alcohol-related health disparities in racial and ethnic minority and underrepresented populations (e.g., African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders).

Research activities should address disparities in alcohol related health problems of target populations.



MSIs are institutions that have a documented record of commitment to the encouragement of minority faculty members, students, and investigators.

A significant proportion of students at the MSI are from racial and ethnic minority groups underrepresented in the biomedical sciences.



Mechanism of Support.

This FOA will utilize the Cooperative Agreement (U54) grant mechanism.
