Grant Opportunity Analysis
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is preparing to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Consortium on the Neurobiology of Adolescent Drinking in Adulthood (NADIA) Research Resource, aimed at investigating the long-term effects of adolescent alcohol exposure on brain-behavior relationships. This initiative seeks to support collaborative research across various institutions to elucidate the mechanisms behind persistent changes in brain maturation and adult outcomes due to adolescent drinking, ultimately contributing to improved treatment methods and prevention strategies for alcohol-related issues. The funding will be provided through a Cooperative Agreement, with an expected award date in May 2026, and interested small businesses are encouraged to begin forming collaborations in anticipation of the application process.
