One award anticipated; specific amount not yet announced; Cooperative Agreement (U24).

Funding to support a consortium investigating the mechanisms by which adolescent alcohol exposure leads to persistent changes in brain and behavior into adulthood.

This is a forecasted opportunity; applications are not yet being accepted.

--- ## Description The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the NIH, intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a collaborative research resource focused on the Neurobiology of Adolescent Drinking in Adulthood (NADIA). The initiative aims to support research that elucidates the mechanisms by which repeated adolescent alcohol exposure causes long-term changes in brain maturation and adult behavioral outcomes. The ultimate goal is to build a foundational knowledge base to inform improved treatments and preventative strategies for alcohol-related problems. This funding opportunity is intended for collaborative, cross-institutional research and will use the U24 cooperative agreement mechanism. Investigators with expertise in molecular, biomedical, genetic, psychological, and environmental aspects of alcohol exposure and its consequences are encouraged to consider forming collaborations in anticipation of the forthcoming application period. --- ## Due Dates - **Estimated Application Due Date:** September 30, 2025 - **Estimated Notice of Funding Opportunity Publication:** July 30, 2025 *Note: This is a forecasted opportunity.
