Description
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is soliciting applications for the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development -Extended (ABCD-E) Study, a limited competition to renew the current Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Research Project Sites. The study aims to follow the ABCD cohort into adulthood, examining the effects of young adult experiences on brain development and social, behavioral, academic, health, and other outcomes. The consortium will consist of linked collaborative U01 applications, including research project sites, a central Data Analysis, Informatics, and Resource Center, and a Coordinating Center. Applicants must be current award recipients and will be required to submit a Data Management and Sharing Plan. Key aspects of the job include:
• Following the ABCD cohort into adulthood to examine the effects of young adult experiences on brain development and social, behavioral, academic, health, and other outcomes.
• Utilizing cutting-edge technology such as brain scans and wearable sensors to determine how young adult experiences interact with each other and with a young adult’s changing biology.
• Collaborating with NIH scientific staff to assist, guide, coordinate, or participate in project activities.
• Submitting a Data Management and Sharing Plan as part of the application.
• Participating in a consortium with a Steering Committee, Expert Scientific Board, and Observational Study Monitoring Board.
