The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded The Regents Of The University Of Colorado (doing business as University Of Colorado-Denver) $191,509 on August 20, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to adapt and pilot test a care navigation intervention for hospitalized patients with alcohol use disorder. The award funds adaptation and pilot testing of the Navigation for Prioritized Alcohol Treatment After Hospitalization (NAVPATH) intervention, which combines motivational interviewing and care coordination delivered in-hospital and after discharge to improve linkage to outpatient alcohol use disorder treatment. The project includes three specific aims: adapting the care navigation and motivational interviewing intervention to alcohol use disorder and local context through process mapping; piloting the adapted NAVPATH intervention to improve post-discharge treatment linkage among hospitalized patients; and performing cost analysis of NAVPATH using time-driven activity-based costing. Work is performed in Aurora, Colorado, with performance continuing through July 31, 2031. The award is classified as a Project Grant, an assistance type under the Alcohol Research Programs that supports projects recommended for approval by the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and focused on developing improved methods of treatment and more effective prevention strategies for alcoholism and alcohol-related problems.
