Project Grant P60AA032166

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded the University of Washington $1,721,942 on July 20, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to establish the Alcohol Research Consortium in HIV Center for Research at the Intersection of Equity, Alcohol, Community and HIV (ARCH REACH).

ARCH REACH will develop, tailor, and implement evidence-based interventions for alcohol reduction targeting people with HIV experiencing unhealthy alcohol use, with emphasis on addressing co-occurring syndemic conditions and health equity. The center will conduct three integrated projects supported by administrative, methods, and dissemination cores: the first project leverages data from the Center for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS)—a multi-site clinical cohort spanning ten university-based HIV clinics across the United States, many in high-priority regions for ending the HIV epidemic—to examine relationships between unhealthy alcohol use and HIV outcomes; subsequent projects will expand HIV research to incorporate new definitions of alcohol use disorder recovery and increase inclusivity and diversity of perspectives through community engagement and trainee mentoring.

Performance runs from July 20, 2026, through June 30, 2031. Work is performed in Washington. The University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs serves as the administrative recipient.
