Purpose
NIDA and the following NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs), NIAAA, NIMH, ORWH and NCI intend to publish a Collaborative Research on Addiction at NIH (CRAN) funding opportunity announcement to solicit applications for a Data Analysis, Informatics, and Resource center to oversee and manage the standardization of data collection procedures, provide technical support, ensure quality control, perform integrative data analysis, and coordinate data storage and data sharing activities for a nationwide, multisite, multi-modal, longitudinal cohort study that prospectively examines brain and behavioral development from late childhood (approximately age 9-10) through adolescence into early adulthood. Current primary awardees will be eligible to apply and this new award period will be 7 years in duration.
The primary objective of this initiative is to design and implement a study that can collect data to address the following overarching research objectives, which are inherently interdependent and mutually informative:
- Describe individual developmental trajectories (e.g., brain, cognitive, emotional, academic), and the factors that can affect them.
- Develop national standards of healthy brain development.
- Investigate the roles and interaction of genes and the environment on development.
- Study how physical activity, sleep, screen time, sports injuries, and other experiences affect brain development.
- Examine the factors that influence the onset, course, and severity of mental illnesses.
- Understand the relationship between mental health and substance use.
- Study how use of different substances (caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, marijuana) affects developmental outcomes, and vice versa.
This Notice is being provided to allow the current ABCD DAIC sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations, identify program faculty, and create a responsive application. The FOA is expected to be published in March 2019 with an expected application due date in July 2019.
This FOA will utilize the U24 activity code. Details of the planned FOA are provided below.
Research Initiative Details
The Data Analysis, Informatics, and Resource Center will develop the procedures for collection of the core neuroimaging, neuropsychological, and clinical assessment data in a manner that will maximize comparability across the individual research sites of the consortium. The center will facilitate cross-site pooling of longitudinal data, statistical analysis and data sharing within and outside of the consortium, create a database across assessment modalities, harmonize with existing large-scale neurodevelopmental research efforts, and become a national resource to foster data-sharing and utilization in various scientific fields. The center will also maintain scientific collaborations with the National Institute of Mental Health Data Archive (NDA) for the ABCD Data repository.
This FOA will run in parallel with companion FOAs that solicit applications for Research Project Sites and a Consortium Coordinating Center. It is expected that investigators upon funding will work jointly with federal staff at NIH Institutes to achieve study goals.
