NIH Planning Grant (R34)

Alcohol Health Services Research (R34)

Funds the groundwork before an alcohol treatment-gap study — building the team, the protocol and the tools, not running the study itself.

This is NIAAA's planning-grant call for alcohol health services research — the study of why most people with alcohol use disorder never get treated. NIH names five areas of emphasis: access to treatment, making treatment more appealing, cost structures and insurance systems, dissemination and implementation of approaches that already work, and reducing health disparities.

What an R34 buys is spec

Planning work for health services research on the alcohol use disorder treatment gap — increasing access, making treatment more appealing, cost structures and insurance systems, dissemination and implementation of evidence-based approaches, and reducing health disparities.
