NIAAA Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Research Program

The NIAAA Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Research Program sits inside NIAAA's major initiatives and focuses on prenatal alcohol exposure, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, and related prevention and intervention work. The FY2023 portfolio cited for the program is roughly $30 million across about 96 grants, which shows that this is a sizable part of the institute's alcohol portfolio. The program supports both conventional and phased NIH mechanisms. Active notices cited in the record include PAR-25-159 for R34 planning work and PAR-25-158 for R61/R33 phased innovation awards; the routes are open to U.S.-registered for-profit firms, nonprofits, universities, research organizations, and individuals. Strong applications tend to connect a clear developmental or prevention question to an intervention path, then match the mechanism to the stage of the science. R34 fits planning, R61/R33 fits milestone-driven development, and the broader initiative is a good home for projects that stay close to prenatal exposure, child health, and downstream recovery questions.
