Alcohol Research-Related Resource Award (R24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The Alcohol Research-Related Resource Award, also known as the R24 grant, aims to support investigators who are working on projects to provide materials and services for the advancement of national biomedical research. This grant, which does not support clinical trials, is ideal for non-hypothesis-driven activities. Such activities may include the provision of essential data, materials, tools, or services crucial for making cost-efficient and high-quality progress in the research field.

This R24 Resource grant isn't designed for hypothesis-driven research applications; these should be directed towards a different mechanism that specifically encourages this type of research. The resources funded by the R24 grant should be accessible to any qualified investigator. They should be highly scrutinised for quality and shouldn't replicate commercially available resources or those accessible via other means.

The resources should be created to cater to the broad alcohol research community, without being confined to a particular regional focus. The ultimate goal is to facilitate services that contribute to the progress of alcohol-related research across the nation.
