Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA AA 20 012
The Integrative Neuroscience Initiative on Alcoholism (INIA) Consortia Research Resource (U24) (Clinical Trial Optional) funding opportunity, listed as RFA-AA-20-012, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement designed to build and sustain shared research resources for large, collaborative alcoholism research efforts. Issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through NIH, this announcement supports participation in two INIA consortia by funding a Research Resource Core under the U24 mechanism. In practical terms, the FOA is aimed at creating or strengthening centralized capabilities that multiple INIA investigators can use, rather than funding a single independent research project in isolation.
This FOA sits within a coordinated set of companion announcements that together make up the broader INIA consortium structure. Applicants interested in the overall consortium effort are directed to related opportunities for the other required pieces: an Administrative Resource Core application under RFA-AA-20-011 and Research Project applications under RFA-AA-20-013 (U01). The U24 Research Resource Core described in this announcement is meant to provide enabling infrastructure, tools, platforms, or services that support the consortiums research aims, facilitate integration across projects, and help standardize or scale methods and resources used across participating teams. Clinical trials are allowed but not required, which means applicants may propose resource activities that include clinical trial-related support where appropriate, but the core mission is resource provision for the consortium.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which signals substantial NIH involvement compared to a standard research grant. Under a cooperative agreement, the federal agency typically plays an active partnership role in shaping priorities, coordinating activities, and ensuring the funded resource aligns with consortium-wide milestones and governance. The activity category is health, and the program is associated with CFDA 93.273, which reflects NIH alcohol-related research programs administered through NIAAA.
Eligibility is broad and includes many categories of domestic organizations that can credibly host or operate a consortium-level research resource. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions where specified); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as permitted under the additional eligibility guidance referenced in the full announcement. This range indicates NIH is primarily focused on whether the applicant can deliver high-quality shared resources and operate effectively within a consortium, rather than restricting participation to a narrow set of institution types.
Key administrative details in the source listing include a creation date of October 14, 2020, and an original application due date (closing date) of May 26, 2021. The listing also notes an expected number of awards of six, suggesting NIH anticipated supporting multiple resource cores across the two consortia. The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the provided extract, which typically indicates that a specific maximum award amount was not provided in that particular field and applicants would need to consult the full FOA text for budget guidance, expectations, and any constraints tied to the proposed scope of the resource core.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as consortium infrastructure funding within INIA: it supports shared, integrative research resources that enable teams studying alcohol use and alcoholism-related neuroscience to coordinate methods, share data or tools, harmonize workflows, and accelerate progress through collaborative science. Applicants would generally be proposing a core capability that multiple U01 research projects and the administrative core can rely on, rather than proposing a stand-alone hypothesis-driven study.Apply for RFA AA 20 012
