This file is an application guide for NIH FORMS-H submissions. It directs applicants to use either General Instructions (HTML/PDF) or filtered Research Instructions (PDF) when applying to this funding opportunity, with specific guidance that research applications must follow the designated research form instructions. The guide references the NIH central application instructions website and provides links to both the general FORMS-H guidance documents and research-specific FORMS-H guidance. It notes that application form packages may contain optional forms and directs applicants to consult both the funding opportunity announcement and application instructions to determine submission requirements.

The guide supports the Alcohol Research-Related Resource Award (R24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) program, administered by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Department of Health and Human Services. This non-hypothesis-driven grant mechanism supports investigator-initiated resource projects that provide data, materials, tools, or services to advance alcohol research nationally. Resources must be available to any qualified investigator without duplicating commercial offerings and should serve the broad alcohol research community without regional limitations. The application deadline is September 25, 2026. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit agencies, universities, HBCUs, minority-serving institutions, faith-based and community-based organizations, tribal entities, and certain foreign organizations, though non-domestic components of U.S. organizations and foreign organizations are not eligible. The funding operates under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), which has distributed substantial annual awards historically, with 67 awards distributed in 2026 year-to-date.
