On Apr. 17, 2020, the NIH announced nearly $290 million of new funding for seven years to research institutions around the country, and renewed its commitment to the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, the largest long-term study of brain development and child health ever conducted in the U.S.

One of 21 ABCD research sites across the nation, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) was granted more than $11 million to expand research efforts to better understand the association of adolescent experiences – such as sleep, screen time and substance abuse – and cognitive ability.
