This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $715,238.00 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct a multivariate genome-wide association analysis of opioid-related traits in a diverse population of 500,000 individuals. The goal is to improve understanding of the genetic basis of opioid use disorder (OUD) and related pre-addiction stages, such as initial opioid use,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), is funding the development of a novel epigenetic regulator as a potential treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). The grantee, Epivario Inc., a for-profit biotechnology research organization, will screen a new class of ACSS2 inhibitors and evaluate their efficacy in preclinical animal models of OUD. Specifically, the $275,253 award will support...
The federal Project Grant award with ID DP2DA062283 was provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The $2,542,500 grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, will support the development of novel econometric methods and a unified framework for integrating real-world evidence (RWE) to analyze inconclusive randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focused on opioid use disorder (OUD) treatments.

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to develop high-precision epigenetic therapeutics for treating opioid use disorder (OUD). The $398,137 award to Boston Interactome LLC, effective May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026, will fund research to identify functional modulators of the G9A epigenetic protein complex that regulates DFosB expression under chronic opioid exposure. The goal...
This federal Project Grant award of $4,665,000 was provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to the University of Washington. The award will fund the development and testing of a novel "Community-Based Opioid Treatment (CBOT)" implementation strategy to deliver buprenorphine for opioid use disorder treatment and HIV prevention/care services to people who use opioids. The project will involve two parts -...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $233,250 to The Washington University in St. Louis to examine the relationship between early cannabis use and later opioid use disorder. The key objectives are to: 1) Estimate the association between early cannabis use and both proximal and distal aspects of opioid involvement, including whether the relationships are modified by co-occurring...
This Project Grant award of $2,415,940.00, awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), supports research to develop digital biomarkers and phenotypes for tracking craving patterns in individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) during medication-based treatment (MOUD). The award will fund a prospective, observational trial of 300 participants initiating MOUD with buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone. Continuous wearable...
This $1,264,863 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) will fund research to evaluate the efficacy and neural mechanisms of combining the medication guanfacine (GXR) and the behavioral intervention Mindfulness Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) as an adjunct to buprenorphine maintenance for individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). The research will be conducted by Rutgers, The State University...

This federal Project Grant award, with ID K01DA060359, was provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The $195,728 grant will fund a 5-year study to assess the acceptability and feasibility of using pharmacogenomic (PGX) testing to guide opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment.

The key objectives of this project are to: 1) identify barriers and facilitators impacting the acceptability and feasibility of a PGX testing protocol for OUD treatment by engaging patients, providers, and clinic staff; 2) develop and evaluate evidence-based educational resources for OUD treatment providers and patients on the use of PGX; and 3) evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of PGX-guided methadone dosing through an 8-week randomized controlled trial. The project will be conducted by Washington State University, a public land-grant research university, and aims to take the first steps toward examining the potential of PGX-based personalized medicine to improve OUD treatment outcomes.
