About this opportunity
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) is forecasting a limited-competition cooperative agreement to support continuation of the National Consortium on Alcohol and Neurodevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA) research project sites using the U01 activity code; applications are not yet being solicited, and this forecast is provided to allow potential applicants time to develop collaborations. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits, for-profit organizations, tribal governments (federally recognized), small businesses, higher education institutions (public and private), state governments, tribal organizations (not federally recognized), public or Indian housing authorities, county governments, and independent school districts.
NCANDA, launched in 2012, has assembled longitudinal data on over 800 individuals aged 12 to 32 years, tracking brain structure, function, and psychiatric health across developmental periods from pre-drinking through emerging adulthood. The continuation award will enable follow-up through age 37, capturing differential impacts of early versus late onset adolescent drinking on adult drinking behavior. The consortium employs an accelerated longitudinal design to generate data unavailable in current adult drinking studies, informing evidence-based prevention strategies and early intervention approaches to reduce progression to alcohol use disorder and chronic disease.
Funding operates under CFDA 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). Costs are evaluated for reasonableness and appropriateness. Research must be performed in the United States and its possessions. The renewal is anticipated to support continued longitudinal data acquisition and analysis to advance understanding of how adolescent alcohol exposure affects neurodevelopmental trajectories and long-term health outcomes.
Forecast synopsis
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) launched the National Consortium on Alcohol and Neurodevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA) in 2012 to determine how adolescent alcohol-related disruption of normal brain growth patterns of structure, related brain function, and psychiatric health affects brain functioning in emerging adulthood. The consortium uses an accelerated longitudinal design and has acquired data on over 800 individuals between the ages of 12 to 32 years. This wide age range covers the period before onset of drinking, the transition from adolescence to young adulthood, the critical period for binge drinking, and the time of maturing out. This unique dataset provides novel information on the enduring and transient consequences of adolescent drinking on adult brain function and behavior. Current studies on adults drinking do not have this type of data. Renewal of this limited competition NOFO will enable NCANDA to continue to follow these participants up to 37 years of age and acquire data critical to understanding how early versus late onset drinking during adolescence differentially impacts drinking behavior in adulthood. This limited competition renewal will provide valuable information for developing evidence-based alcohol prevention strategies and early intervention approaches to prevent the progression to more severe drinking and AUD thereby preventing the development of chronic disease, improving health outcomes, and increasing quality of life and longevity. Applications are not being solicited at this time. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize the U01 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of developmental neuroscience are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO.
