The NADIA Consortium is a diverse group of neuroscientists brought together to clearly define the persistent effects of adolescent alcohol exposure on adults and to begin to explore the neurobiological mechanisms that are at the root of these effects.
Through its research, the Consortium aims to better understand the impact of adolescent exposure to alcohol on both individuals and society and ultimately to inform and advance social and health care initiatives.
The NADIA Consortium is supported by two U24 and seven U01 awards from the NIH National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and is led by the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
