This FOA supports linked applications. Multiple PDs/PIs are allowed on any single application. Because the FOA already supports a team approach between groups of experts across sites and collaborating applications, the designation of multiple PDs/PIs on a single application may be less likely to apply. PD(s)/PI(s) from each linked application should not be designated as multiple PDs/PIs on each application of a collaborative set.
The PD(s)/PI(s) of at least 1 of the collaborative application(s) must be a currently NIAAA funded PD(s)/PI(s) with established alcohol research programs. The PD(s)/PI(s) of at least 1 of the collaborative application(s) must be have with expertise in HIV/AIDS but may or may not be currently funded by NIAAA.
