This federal Project Grant award of $183,449 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, supports research to characterize the developmental associations between impulsive personality traits, heavy alcohol use, and alcohol use disorder (AUD) progression from childhood to adulthood. The award to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University Indianapolis, will also examine...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, aims to investigate the neural mechanisms driving adaptive stress coping behaviors and subsequent alcohol use. The $498,121.57 award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2027, will utilize an animal model to explore how dysfunction in the corticolimbic circuitry, specifically the prelimbic cortex and basolateral...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to The Johns Hopkins University in the amount of $807,050 on August 20, 2024. The grant will fund a research project examining the neural circuit effects of chronic alcohol use on cognition and behavior in rodent models.

This federal Project Grant award of $1,135,243 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will support research to investigate changes in neural mechanisms associated with cognitive reappraisal and alcohol cue reactivity during early abstinence from alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment. The research, conducted by the University of Colorado-Denver and involving sub-awards to Emory University and the University of Denver,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) program, is providing $1,010,019 to Pennsylvania State University to conduct research on the relationship between the vagus nerve, hypothalamic neurocircuits, and alcohol intake. The key objectives are to: 1) Test the hypothesis that disruptions to the gastric vagus nerve activity will increase alcohol reward and preference, and alter gene...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Illinois. The $293,128 grant, awarded on August 23, 2024, will fund a study examining the neural correlates of alcohol reward in social contexts using a hyperscanning EEG setup. The research aims to evaluate the neural mechanisms underlying the rewarding effects of alcohol in social settings and assess how individual and group-level factors...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA, CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs) provides $156,204.00 to the University of Massachusetts Medical School to investigate the role of BNST PKCdelta neurons in compulsive ethanol intake. The key focus is to evaluate adaptations in BNST PKCdelta neuron activity across abstinence periods and in response to ethanol exposure, as well as explore how dysregulation in BNST PKCdelta neuron afferents...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), provides $148,916 to the University of Maryland, Baltimore to investigate the impact of chronic alcohol exposure on the claustrum, a brain region that may contribute to alcohol-induced cognitive impairments. The key activities include: Determining how chronic alcohol exposure affects the synaptic activity, excitability, and morphology of claustrum...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), provides $223,932.00 to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University Indianapolis, to conduct research on the neural circuit mechanisms underlying impulsivity and how they are altered by genetic risk for excessive drinking.

The key objectives are to: 1) characterize whether dorsomedial prefrontal cortex parvalbumin interneuron-mediated gamma oscillations facilitate strategy updating during a delay discounting task, and whether this activity is disrupted in an alcohol-preferring rat model; and 2) determine if optogenetically inducing these gamma oscillations in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex is sufficient to reduce impulsive choice in the alcohol-preferring rat model. This research aims to enhance understanding of the neurobiological and behavioral changes that underlie genetic risk for alcohol misuse and assist in developing novel treatment approaches for alcohol use disorder. The award period is from August 31, 2025 to May 31, 2026.
