Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA AA 20 011
The Integrative Neuroscience Initiative on Alcoholism (INIA) Consortia Administrative Resource Core (U24) grant opportunity (RFA-AA-20-011) is a National Institutes of Health cooperative agreement run through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is designed to support the administrative backbone of two INIA consortia focused on advancing integrative, neuroscience-driven research on alcoholism and alcohol use disorder. Rather than funding a stand-alone research project, this FOA funds an Administrative Resource Core that helps organize, coordinate, and accelerate the work of multi-site, multi-team collaborative networks operating under the INIA umbrella. Clinical trials are optional, meaning applicants may propose activities that include clinical trial elements if appropriate, but a clinical trial is not required.
The main purpose of the Administrative Resource Core is to provide centralized leadership and operational support that enables the consortia to function efficiently and cohesively. In practical terms, these awards are meant to cover cross-cutting activities like consortium governance and meeting support, internal communication systems, coordination across participating projects and cores, milestone and timeline tracking, and facilitation of collaboration across different scientific teams. The U24 mechanism emphasizes shared infrastructure and coordination, so the Administrative Core typically serves as the hub that ensures the consortium is aligned on goals, policies, reporting expectations, and collaborative workflows. Because this is a cooperative agreement, NIH is expected to have substantial involvement in shaping or overseeing key aspects of the program, and awardees should anticipate an ongoing partnership model rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
This FOA is part of a set of companion announcements that collectively build the full INIA consortium structure. Applicants responding to RFA-AA-20-011 are specifically proposing the Administrative Resource Core component. Separate companion FOAs cover other critical pieces of the consortium: resource-related and support cores are submitted under RFA-AA-20-012 (also U24), and collaborative research projects are submitted under RFA-AA-20-013 (U01). Together, these components are intended to create a coordinated ecosystem where scientific projects (U01s) are supported by shared cores (U24s), with the Administrative Core ensuring the entire program operates as an integrated consortium rather than a collection of loosely connected awards.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and 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 with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions when specified); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other organizations as described in the FOA text. This wide eligibility reflects the consortium-based nature of INIA, where strong administrative coordination and infrastructure can be housed in many different organizational settings as long as the applicant can credibly manage multi-site collaboration and NIH cooperative agreement requirements.
The opportunity falls under the NIH health research activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.273. The Funding Opportunity Announcement was created on October 14, 2020, with an original closing date of May 26, 2021. NIH anticipated making two awards under this announcement, which aligns with the statement that the program supports two consortia. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0 in the provided source data, which typically indicates that a fixed maximum dollar cap is not specified in that particular summary field and that applicants should refer to the FOA for detailed budget guidance and any consortium-specific expectations.
Overall, this FOA is essentially a call for an organization to serve as the operational command center for an INIA consortium, ensuring that the scientific teams funded through companion announcements can share data, coordinate methods, meet milestones, communicate effectively, and maintain consistent governance and reporting. It is best suited to applicants with demonstrated capacity for complex program management, multi-institution coordination, and building the administrative systems that help large collaborative science function smoothly.Apply for RFA AA 20 011
