This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $1,391,376 to Rutgers, The State University to conduct multidisciplinary research characterizing the gut-brain axis in addiction. The project aims to identify and validate relevant interactions between the gut microbiota, psychostimulant exposure, and vulnerability to substance use disorders. Using metagenomics, metabolomics, pharmacological techniques, and animal models, the research will investigate how the gut microbiome influences the progression of addiction. This innovative approach combines expertise in neuroscience and microbiology to advance understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind gut-brain connections in the context of substance abuse disorders. The project will run from September 2024 through August 2027.
