National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
Alcohol Research Mentoring System

The Alcohol Research Mentoring System (ARMS), a pilot program sponsored by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and the Office of Research on Minority Health, is recruiting new investigators in alcohol research as candidates for mentoring partnerships with experienced alcohol researchers.

Each investigator, with guidance from a mentor, will produce a proposal or improve an earlier grant submission that did not previously receive a fundable score. Program participants are mentored in all aspects of grant development, from presenting a persuasive research argument to preparing budgets and completing required application forms.

To be considered, interested candidates should submit a brief concept paper that describes his or her research plan, a letter of support from a teaching or research supervisor, and a professional letter of reference. Preference will be given to applications received before February 15, 2000.

The program is open to all new investigators, with priority given to applications from racial and ethnic minorities.
