Mechanisms of Alcohol & Nicotine Co-Addiction
Funding agency: National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Program summary: NIAAA encourages grant applications to examine mechanisms contributing to concurrent
alcohol and nicotine dependence. Co-occurring alcohol and nicotine dependence is common. The purpose of this
funding opportunity announcement is to promote research to study neurobiological and behavioral mechanisms of
dependence and how alcohol and nicotine use interact through these mechanisms to promote dependence. Such
an understanding is essential to guide the development of better prevention and treatment strategies for alcohol
and nicotine co-abuse.

Latest News________________________________________________
New Grants.gov Workspace to Enable Collaborative Access for Federal
Application Development
In late-October 2015, Grants.gov plans to unveil a new platform that will allow multiple users to upload, access,
and edit application forms concurrently. The release of Grants.gov Workspace responds to a years-long effort by
the applicant community to make Grants.gov more supportive of the collaborative nature of proposal
development. For the first time since 2007, when Grants.gov was launched – as what was intended to be the
government's one-stop portal for viewing and responding to federal requests for proposals – multiple users will
now be able to work on a single application at the same time. The primary change enabling this feature will
be Workspace users’ ability to separate the multiple PDF forms that comprise a typical application. Another
advantage of the new system will be a feature that allows users to save forms from one application for future use
on another.
An institution's designated Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) and a newly registered "Workspace
Owner" will create a personal page in Workspace and invite other users. Anyone with access will be able to
view the application package, add content, edit forms, and save changes in real time. The AOR will retain the
authority to review the final application and formally submit it. Prior to the release of Workspace, which is
scheduled to launch anywhere from October 17 to 19, users are encouraged to see an overview here, a
technical presentation, including screenshots, here, and tutorial videos here.
