- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans $567,832 on June 1, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to conduct research on reducing alcohol drinking through a nonmuscle myosin II small-molecule inhibitor targeting alcohol use disorder. The research focuses on disrupting alcohol-seeking and drinking behaviors in alcohol-dependent animal models using a first-in-class nonmuscle myosin II inhibitor...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded Yale University $578,234 on August 20, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to establish a translational human laboratory model investigating alcohol's effects on pain in persons with co-occurring alcohol use disorder and chronic pain. The research uses a computer-controlled intravenous alcohol clamp to quantify alcohol's biphasic effects on pain perception—analgesia during the ascending phase and hyperalgesia...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans $215,625 under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) on August 11, 2026. The award funds research exploring mitochondrial defense mechanisms against ethanol-induced dicarbonyl stress in the heart.
