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...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will fund a research study titled "Genes, Neighborhoods, and Alcohol Misuse from Adolescence to Mid-Adulthood in the ADD Health Study". The $629,776 award, effective September 15, 2024 through May 31, 2027, will support secondary analyses of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) to examine...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $1,345,684 Project Grant under CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs to the University of Colorado-Denver. The 5-year award, effective September 20, 2024, aims to determine the effects of alcohol use and sexual communication on intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV) among sexual minority and heterosexual couples. The project involves two studies: (1) a laboratory experiment examining acute alcohol use and partner sexual...
The federal Project Grant award R00AA030665 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program. The $249,001 award, effective May 1, 2025, supports a study entitled "Study Aimed at Increasing Alcohol Abstinence (DEDICATE)" to be conducted by the University of Illinois. The key objectives of this project are to (1) test the efficacy of combining contingency management (CM) with...
This Project Grant award of $509,683.37 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will support a translational research program focused on understanding individual differences in risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD). The program aims to translate a preclinical model of individual differences in the attribution of incentive salience (IS) to reward-predictive cues into a human laboratory model examining individual...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $1,547,718 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. (KUMCRI) from September 1, 2024 to May 31, 2029. The project will investigate the role of KDM5 demethylases in regulating cell-cell communication in the development and resolution of alcohol-associated liver disease. Specifically, the research aims to determine how KDM5B and KDM5C...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, will support the development of novel 3D human brain circuits to investigate the role of microglia in alcohol use disorder (AUD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. The $223,531 award to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will fund research to elucidate how alcohol-induced changes in microglial metabolism...
