Major Changes in Budget Request 

Major changes by budget mechanism and/or budget activity detail are briefly described below.  Note that there may be overlap between budget mechanism and activity detail and these highlights will not sum to the total change for the FY 2010 budget request for NIAAA, which is $4.919 million more than the FY 2009 Estimate, for a total of $455.149 million.

Research Project Grants (+$2.238 million, total $274.166 million).  The NIH budget policy for RPGs in FY 2010 is to provide for two percent inflationary increases in noncompeting awards and a two percent increase in average cost for competing RPGs.  NIAAA will support a total of 758 Research Project Grant (RPG) awards in FY 2010.  Noncompeting RPGs will increase by 7 awards and $6.173 million.  Competing RPGs will decrease by 13 awards and $2.896 million.

Screening and Intervention Across the Lifespan (+$2.000 million; total $10.200 million):  This initiative will support, through Competing RPG awards, the development of a practitioner’s guide to provide guidance that is acceptable to practitioners on how to screen for risk for alcohol use.

 

Medications Development (+$2.500 million; total $4.700 million): NIAAA will support, under contract, a Phase 2 clinical trial network to develop and test the effectiveness of potential medications in treatment of alcohol dependence and alcohol-induced tissue damage.
