This $181,040 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) aims to create an immersive training experience to study the genetic etiology of substance use disorders (SUDs). The award recipient, Yale University, will leverage the Million Veteran Program (MVP) biobank to: (1) model patterns of SUD co-occurrence and substance co-use, (2) utilize electronic health record data and toxicology results to provide comprehensive substance use information, and (3) examine racial disparities in SUD genome-wide association studies. This research and training program is expected to run from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2029, advancing the applicant's independent research career and improving understanding of SUD etiology.
