The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) received a Project Grant of $194,292 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), awarded June 11, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2031. This five-year research initiative aims to advance diagnostic and therapeutic development for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) by investigating alcohol's role as an epigenetic disruptor. The research focuses on determining how prenatal alcohol exposure disrupts three-dimensional chromatin organization and downstream gene expression in the developing brain, with the goal of identifying molecular markers for FASD diagnosis and identifying targeted therapeutic intervention points. The project addresses a critical gap in FASD care, as it remains the most common cause of preventable neurodevelopmental delay in the United States yet lacks molecular diagnostic tests and molecularly targeted treatments. Deliverables under this award include scientific research outcomes examining ethanol-induced chromatin disruption mechanisms and their consequences on neurodevelopment, which will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and presentations. The research is expected to generate foundational knowledge applicable to developing improved diagnostic methodologies and treatment strategies for children living with FASD, ultimately supporting the NIAAA's mission to develop sound fundamental knowledge applicable to improved treatment methods and prevention strategies for alcohol-related problems.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
