Limited Competition for the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development -Extended (ABCD-E) Study-Research Project Sites (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for a Limited Competition that will invite applications from eligible organizations to apply. Please see Section III. Eligibility for additional information. In accordance with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) standard peer-review processes, the applications will be peer-reviewed, and only meritorious applications will be considered for funding. Only current award recipients will be eligible to apply. This NOFO seeks linked collaborative U01 applications to renew the current Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Research Project Sites to extend study visits into young adulthood. This renewal, called Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development – Extended (ABCD-E) study, is critical to be able to follow these youth into emerging adulthood, when many of the outcomes of interest (e.g., substance use disorders, mental health disorders, chronic diseases, and other health conditions) will manifest. The structure of the ABCD-E study Consortium shall consist of three highly integrated components: (1) a set of linked Research Project Sites, (2) a single central Data Analysis, Informatics, and Resource Center, and (3) a single overall Coordinating Center. As such, this NOFO runs in parallel with a companion NOFO that solicits applications for two centers (RFA-DA-27-003). It is expected that investigators, upon funding, will work jointly with NIH scientific staff to assist, guide, coordinate, or participate in project activities.
