About
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 two separate U24 applications to renew the Adolescent Brian Cognitive Development (ABCD) Research Coordinating Center (CC) and the Data Analysis Informatics and Resource Center (DAIRC) 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 through their 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 research project sites (RFA-DA-27-002). It is expected that investigators, upon funding, will work jointly with NIH scientific.
The Limited Competition for the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development-Extended (ABCD-E) Study Renewal is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity designed for eligible research organizations to support the continuation and expansion of the ABCD study into young adulthood. This program funds two separate U24 applications: the Research Coordinating Center and the Data Analysis, Informatics, and Resource Center. The ABCD-E study is critical for following adolescent participants through emerging adulthood, when significant health outcomes manifest, including substance use disorders, mental health conditions, chronic diseases, and other health conditions. Organizations should apply if they are current award recipients seeking to renew their existing ABCD study grants and can demonstrate capacity to manage complex, longitudinal research infrastructure. The study operates through a highly integrated three-component consortium structure comprising linked Research Project Sites, a central Data Analysis, Informatics, and Resource Center, and an overall Coordinating Center. This renewal funding opportunity enables continued longitudinal data collection, advanced data management, informatics support, and coordination of a nationwide research initiative studying adolescent brain development and its long-term health implications.

For complete eligibility requirements, refer to Section III of the official Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) on the NIH website.
How much funding does the ABCD-E Study Renewal provide?
Specific funding amounts are not listed in the available information. Funding levels may vary based on the scope of work and individual applications. Consult the official NOFO on the NIH Grants & Funding website for detailed budget information and funding ranges.
How do I apply for ABCD-E Study Renewal funding?
Applications must be submitted through the standard NIH peer-review process via the NIH electronic submission system (eRA Commons). Eligible organizations should review the complete NOFO for submission requirements, formatting guidelines, and application procedures. Applications are subject to NIH standard peer-review processes, and only meritorious applications will be considered for funding. Visit the official NIH Grants & Funding website for detailed application instructions and submission portals.
What can ABCD-E Study Renewal funding be used for?
Funding supports renewal and extension of the Research Coordinating Center and the Data Analysis, Informatics, and Resource Center for the ABCD study. These funds enable continuation of longitudinal research activities, data management and informatics support, research coordination across multiple sites, and infrastructure to follow study participants into young adulthood. The funding supports a nationwide consortium structure with integrated research project sites, centralized data analysis capabilities, and overall study coordination.
