Purpose

The purpose of this Notice is to announce pre-application virtual “Office Hours” for potential applicants for U01 Research Project and U24 Data Coordination Center funding opportunities from the Translating Socioenvironmental Influences on Neurocognitive Development and Addiction Risk (TranSINDA) program at NIDA. The virtual “Office Hours” will be held on October 15 and 17, 2024; see below for full event information. 

The purpose of the TranSINDA program at NIDA is to support a set of coordinated research projects in animal models, featuring the use of advanced neuroscience and developmental cognitive approaches with research designs that will integrate 1) early-life manipulations designed to model socioenvironmental risk factors for SUD and their comorbidities, 2) longitudinal assessments of neurocognitive development, and 3) characterization of SUD risk-relevant neurocognitive function in adolescence and/or adulthood. This research program will additionally support coordinated generation of a data set to be leveraged for building computational models aimed at elucidating meaningful relationships linking early socioenvironmental conditions, neurocognitive developmental trajectories, and the emergence of SUD risk-relevant neurobehavioral phenotypes.

The virtual “Office Hours” will be a time to ask questions to Program Officials and Scientific Review Officers about the application and review process for the following Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs):

   RFA-DA-25-037 - Translating Socioenvironmental Influences on Neurocognitive Development and Addiction Risk (TranSINDA) (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)(Research Projects)

   RFA-DA-25-038 -Translating Socioenvironmental Influences on Neurocognitive Development and Addiction Risk (TranSINDA) (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)(Data Coordination Center)

Those interested in joining TranSINDA Pre-Application “Office Hours” are strongly encouraged to view the Pre-Application Information Virtual Presentation for Translating Socioenvironmental Influences on Neurocognitive Development and Addiction Risk (TranSINDA) Notices of Funding Opportunities virtual presentation and companion slide set prior to attending the Office Hour session.
