Only fields funded by NSF are eligible. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism invites applications to support the secondary analysis of existing data sets relevant to developing a knowledge base to improve the delivery of services for alcohol-related problems, including both treatment and preventive interventions. Applications are solicited for research grants and fellowships in Brain Functions and Biological Functions through Molecular- Level Approaches. The program promotes basic research in the life sciences, with special emphasis on novel and interdisciplinary research, international collaboration, and support for young investigators. Research grants provide support for basic research carried out jointly by research teams in different countries.
Preference is given to intercontinental teams.
The size of the team should preferably be two to four members, and teams should normally not have more than one member from any one country. Two types of research grants are available. Young Investigators' Grants are for teams of scientists who are all within five years of establishing an independent laboratory. Program Grants may be applied for by independent scientists at all stages of their careers, although the participation of younger scientists is especially encouraged. Fellowships support scientists from eligible countries who wish to do postdoctoral research abroad, or scientists from other countries who wish to do research in one of the eligible countries.
