The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a $818,513 Project Grant (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to investigate the role of dopamine signaling in the basolateral amygdala in regulating individual differences in reward-based learning strategies and addiction-like behaviors. The 5-year grant, which commenced on Sep 15, 2024, will focus on examining how individual differences in Pavlovian reward learning approaches...
This federal Project Grant award of $180,606.00 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) is funding research to investigate cocaine-induced proteomic adaptations in the nucleus accumbens region of the brain. The principal investigator will use a combination of behavioral, cellular/molecular, and bioinformatic approaches to characterize the cell-type and circuit-specific synaptic proteome changes in response to cocaine...
This Project Grant award, valued at $629,844.00, was issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The award will support research at Duke University to elucidate the function of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) circuits and their contribution to the learning and performance of motivated behaviors. The research will use bidirectional optogenetics, in vivo electrophysiology and photometry, and quantitative behavioral...
The University of Florida received a $118,962 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) for the project "COCAINE-MEDIATED MODULATION OF DOPAMINE TRANSMISSION AND ITS EFFECTS ON PERIPHERAL IMMUNITY". The research aims to investigate how activation or inhibition of dopamine neurons in the midbrain impacts peripheral immunity, and how cocaine affects this midbrain-to-spleen circuitry. The...
This federal Project Grant award of $125,879 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), supports research by Harvard Medical School to investigate how hunger and hypothalamic neurons modulate exploratory behavior and dopaminergic neural activity in mice. The project aims to elucidate the neural pathways by which hunger alters exploratory behavior and provide new insights into the underlying circuitry. Specifically, the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), is funding research to investigate the role of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) as a neuromolecular mechanism regulating impulsivity within the prelimbic cortex-nucleus accumbens pathway. The total award amount is $127,635, with a project period from June 17, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The research, conducted by the Regents of the University of Michigan,...
This $149,284 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) to Vanderbilt University will fund research to understand how chronic cocaine use disrupts the neural processing of aversive, non-drug stimuli in the brain. The study aims to define the precise temporal parameters under which dopamine release modulates the activity of genetically-defined neuron populations in the nucleus accumbens, both at baseline and in...
This federal Project Grant award of $811,112 was provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The grant supports research by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate the brain networks and neural signaling mechanisms that underlie sudden "insight" learning of cue-reward associations. The key objectives are to use advanced techniques like two-photon calcium imaging, high-density...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), will fund research to investigate the role of cholinergic interneurons in the ventral tegmental area on opioid-related behaviors. The $373,181 grant, awarded on July 15, 2024 with a completion date of June 30, 2027, aims to determine whether mu-opioid receptors on cholinergic interneurons contribute to opioid reward, consumption, and withdrawal, and how...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $454,470.00 in funding to Drexel University to develop a new imaging pipeline and analytical approach for examining the spatial architecture of histone dopaminylation in the central nervous system (CNS) of mice with HIV infection that self-administer cocaine. The goal is to connect molecular-level epigenetic changes with behavioral outcomes...
