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) Administrative Resource, which will be structured as a Cooperative Agreement. This initiative aims to solicit research applications that investigate the mechanisms of persistent changes in brain-behavior relationships following adolescent alcohol exposure, with a focus on enhancing treatment methods and prevention strategies for alcohol-related issues. The funding opportunity is particularly relevant for small businesses with expertise in molecular insights and collaborative investigations, as it seeks to establish a foundational knowledge base across various research fields. Interested applicants should note that applications are not currently being solicited, but they can prepare for submission as the estimated synopsis will be posted on July 30, 2025, with a closing date of September 30, 2025, and an anticipated award date of May 30, 2026.
