Limited Competition for the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development -Extended (ABCD-E) Study Renewal - Data Analysis, Informatics and Resource Center, and Coordinating Center (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NIH will fund renewal of the existing ABCD study’s single Coordinating Center and single Data Analysis, Informatics, and Resource Center to support extended longitudinal follow-up into young adulthood under a cooperative agreement.
RESTRICTED TO: SINGLE NAMED INSTITUTION
⚑ Limited competition: only current award recipients under RFA-DA-20-004 and RFA-DA-20-003 may apply. · Foreign organizations and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; foreign components are allowed. · Two separate U24 applications are expected: one for the Coordinating Center and one for the Data Analysis, Informatics, and Resource Center. · Clinical Trial Not Allowed.

Description
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 staff to assist, guide, coordinate, or participate in project activities.
Eligibility
Eligibility is limited to the existing awardees under RFA-DA-20-004 and RFA-DA-20-003. Refer to Section III. Eligibility Information in the NOFO for additional information on eligibility.Foreign Organizations/Foreign Collaborations:Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations) are not eligible to apply.Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are not eligible to apply.Foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed.

Legacy IPPRA LLM assessment (v2.0, for comparison)
0/100 · gpt-5.4-mini · 2026-07-06
This is a restricted NIH renewal for current ABCD awardees only, so a public university like OU/IPPRA could not apply directly or as a named lead partner. While the study concerns adolescent brain development and later mental health/substance use outcomes, it is a narrow, pre-existing consortium infrastructure award rather than an open research opportunity for IPPRA to compete for or anchor.

| 2026-07-06 | 0 | gpt-5.4-mini | This is a highly restricted NIH limited-competition renewal for only the current ABCD awardees, so a public university like OU/IPPRA would not be eligible to apply unless already holding the specified awards. Substantively, the project is a child/adolescent brain cohort infrastructure renewal with little direct alignment to IPPRA’s core social/policy portfolio areas, even though it includes mental health and substance-use outcomes. |
