Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Integrative Neuroscience Initiative on Alcoholism (INIA) Consortia Resource and Support Cores (U24)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-AA-11-007) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement aimed at strengthening and extending the shared infrastructure that supports large, collaborative alcoholism research efforts. It uses the U24 cooperative agreement mechanism, which generally means the work is expected to be highly coordinated with NIH program staff and structured around providing resources, services, and operational support that enable multiple research projects to function as an integrated consortium rather than as isolated studies.
The main goal of this announcement is to provide renewed support for two INIA consortia that were funded in earlier cycles, with an emphasis on continuing only those resource-related and support "cores" judged to be the most scientifically strong and broadly useful. In consortium-style programs, cores are the centralized units that provide common tools, services, or coordination functions needed by many projects at once. This might include shared data management, bioinformatics, statistical support, standardized experimental protocols, shared animal model resources, centralized training, administrative coordination, or other cross-cutting capabilities that reduce duplication and improve consistency across participating research teams. A key point in the announcement is that applications should, wherever feasible, build on and leverage the infrastructure developed during prior INIA funding periods, rather than starting over from scratch. The intent is continuity, efficiency, and maximizing the return on earlier federal investments in consortium infrastructure.
Although the FOA is designed to renew support for previously funded INIA consortia, it is not limited only to existing INIA participants. New core proposals are allowed, including proposals from investigators or groups that were not previously affiliated with INIA. Practically, that means the competition is open to new ideas for resource and support cores that can plug into and strengthen the broader INIA ecosystem, as long as the proposed core clearly enables consortium science and complements the existing framework. The announcement also points applicants to a companion FOA (RFA-AA-11-006) for the submission of research projects themselves, which signals that this U24 mechanism is specifically for the shared resources and support functions, while separate funding tracks support the individual scientific research projects.
From an administrative and program classification standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the "Health" activity category, with CFDA number 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The FOA was posted and created on November 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of February 23, 2011, and an archive date of March 26, 2011, indicating the competition is historical/closed but still useful as a reference for how NIH structures similar consortium core opportunities.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organizations that commonly participate in NIH research and infrastructure awards. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), state and local governments (including county, city/township, special district governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and tribal governments and organizations. The eligibility section also explicitly includes Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. In short, NIH cast a wide net, likely because consortium cores can be hosted by many different types of institutions as long as they can provide high-quality, broadly accessible resources to the INIA research community.
Finally, the announcement provides logistical support information for applicants who have trouble accessing the full FOA text online, directing them to contact the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster. The full announcement was available via the NIH grants guide link provided in the source text.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the "Integrative Neuroscience Initiative on Alcoholism (INIA) Consortia Resource and Support Cores (U24)" opportunity?
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-AA-11-007) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement focused on supporting the shared infrastructure used by large, collaborative alcoholism research consortia under the Integrative Neuroscience Initiative on Alcoholism (INIA). It is specifically aimed at resource and support "cores" that help multiple research projects function as an integrated consortium.
Which NIH mechanism is used for this funding opportunity?
The announcement uses the U24 cooperative agreement mechanism. In general, a cooperative agreement implies substantial coordination with NIH program staff and a strong emphasis on organizing and delivering shared resources, services, and operational support for a consortium.
What is the main goal of this FOA?
The main goal is to provide renewed support for two INIA consortia funded in earlier cycles, and to continue only those resource-related and support cores that are considered the most scientifically strong and broadly useful to consortium efforts.
What are "cores" in a consortium-style NIH program?
Cores are centralized units that provide common tools, services, or coordination functions needed by many projects at once. They are intended to reduce duplication, improve consistency, and enable consortium-wide science rather than isolated projects.
What kinds of activities might a resource or support core provide under this FOA?
Examples described in the announcement include shared data management, bioinformatics resources, statistical support, standardized experimental protocols, shared animal model resources, centralized training, administrative coordination, and other cross-cutting capabilities that multiple consortium projects can use.
Does this FOA support individual research projects, or only shared infrastructure?
This U24 announcement is specifically for shared resources and support functions (cores). The announcement points to a companion FOA (RFA-AA-11-006) for the submission of research projects themselves, indicating that research projects and shared cores are handled through separate funding tracks.
Is this opportunity only for organizations that were previously part of INIA?
No. While the FOA is designed to renew support for previously funded INIA consortia, it is not limited only to existing INIA participants. New core proposals are allowed, including proposals from investigators or groups that were not previously affiliated with INIA, as long as the proposed core strengthens and supports consortium science.
What does the FOA say about using prior INIA infrastructure?
Applications are expected, wherever feasible, to build on and leverage infrastructure developed during prior INIA funding periods rather than starting over. The emphasis is on continuity, efficiency, and maximizing the return on earlier federal investments.
What is the CFDA number and program area for this opportunity?
The CFDA number listed is 93.273, identified as Alcohol Research Programs. The activity category is "Health," and the funding is categorized as discretionary.
