What the grant funds

This opportunity seeks to provide continuation funding for a sub-study that incorporates measures of delinquency and victimization at five sites of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The ABCD: SD Sub-study will address key questions on the interactions between substance use, brain development, delinquency, juvenile justice system involvement, and victimization. Continuation funding under this supplemental grant award will support a coordinating center and longitudinal collection of data at five sites. NIJ intends to fund subsequent waves of data collection via supplements to this award in order to follow the social development of children into young adulthood.
