Opportunity Summary:
The Consortium on the Neurobiology of Adolescent Drinking in Adulthood (NADIA) Administrative Resource (U24) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-AA-15-005) is an NIH grant announcement from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) designed to fund a central administrative hub for a larger, coordinated research effort. Rather than supporting individual laboratory science projects directly, this FOA supports an Administrative Resource through a cooperative agreement mechanism (U24) whose job is to provide organization, management, and shared support services to the consortium's research projects funded under companion U01 awards. The overall scientific purpose of the NADIA consortium is to understand how alcohol exposure during adolescence can produce long-lasting, persistent changes in the brain and in the relationships between brain function and behavior that show up later, in adulthood. In other words, the consortium is aimed at clarifying what adolescent drinking can do to developing neural systems in ways that may not fully reveal themselves until years later, and how those changes translate into measurable behavioral outcomes.
Because this is a cooperative agreement, the federal role is more active than in a standard grant. The funded Administrative Resource is expected to work closely with NIAAA staff and the U01 research teams to keep the consortium aligned, coordinated, and productive across multiple sites and projects. The FOA emphasizes that applicants are strongly encouraged to contact NIAAA scientific/research staff before applying, which is typical for complex consortium-style programs where expectations about coordination, governance, data sharing, meeting structure, and cross-project integration can be substantial. In practical terms, the U24 is meant to make the whole consortium function as a unified program rather than a set of disconnected studies, helping ensure consistent procedures, shared planning, and efficient communication.
The announcement was posted on December 16, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 6, 2015, and an archive date of April 6, 2015. The total estimated funding level listed for the opportunity is $4,100,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA number associated with this program is 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs), which situates it within NIAAA's broader alcohol research mission and funding portfolio.
Eligibility is broad across many types of U.S.-based organizations. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) IRS status), public and private institutions of higher education, small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and various levels of government (state, county, city/township), as well as special district governments and independent school districts. The FOA also explicitly includes a range of mission-focused and community-serving institution types and organizations, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions, along with faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, it clearly restricts non-U.S. participation: non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are not eligible to apply, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed, which signals that the consortium activities and administration are expected to be fully U.S.-based.
The key deliverable implied by the FOA is an administrative infrastructure that can support and connect the consortium's science across its U01 projects. While the short description in the source text does not enumerate specific cores or functions, an NIH U24 administrative resource for a consortium typically involves coordinating consortium governance and decision-making, scheduling and supporting investigator meetings, maintaining consistent reporting and communications across sites, facilitating collaboration, and often supporting shared procedures or centralized resources that allow cross-study integration. The administrative award is meant to help the research projects collectively address the central question driving NADIA: how adolescent alcohol exposure can lead to enduring alterations in complex brain function and behavior relationships that persist into adulthood.
For applicants or readers seeking full operational details, the FOA points to the official NIH guide posting at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AA-15-005.html.

What is this funding opportunity?
This opportunity is the Consortium on the Neurobiology of Adolescent Drinking in Adulthood (NADIA) Administrative Resource (U24), Funding Opportunity Number RFA-AA-15-005. It is an NIH grant announcement from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) to support a central administrative hub for the NADIA research consortium.
What is the main purpose of the NADIA consortium?
The NADIA consortium focuses on understanding how alcohol exposure during adolescence can cause long-lasting, persistent changes in the brain and in the relationships between brain function and behavior that appear later in adulthood.
What does the U24 award support (and what does it not support)?
The U24 supports an Administrative Resource that provides organization, management, and shared support services for the consortium. It is not intended to directly fund individual laboratory science projects; those research projects are funded under companion U01 awards.
What type of NIH funding mechanism is being used?
The mechanism is a cooperative agreement (U24). This structure is designed for programs where substantial coordination is required across multiple sites and projects.
What does it mean that this is a cooperative agreement?
Because this is a cooperative agreement, the federal role is more active than in a standard grant. The Administrative Resource is expected to work closely with NIAAA staff and the U01 research teams to keep the consortium aligned, coordinated, and productive.
How does the U24 Administrative Resource relate to the U01 awards?
The U24 is intended to support and connect the consortium's research projects that are funded under companion U01 awards. In practical terms, the U24 helps the consortium function as a unified program rather than as disconnected studies.
What kinds of activities are implied for the Administrative Resource?
The key deliverable is an administrative infrastructure that supports the consortium across its U01 projects. While the short description does not list specific cores or required functions, it describes a central hub responsible for organization, management, coordination, shared support services, and enabling consistent procedures, shared planning, and efficient communication across multiple sites and projects.
Is there an expectation to coordinate governance, meetings, and communication?
Yes. The announcement emphasizes coordination and integration across the consortium, including keeping the program aligned and productive across multiple sites and projects. It also notes that expectations about coordination, governance, data sharing, meeting structure, and cross-project integration can be substantial for a consortium-style program.
Who is the sponsoring NIH institute?
The sponsoring institute is the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
What is the scientific theme in plain language?
