This $791,685 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) will fund a longitudinal study examining neurobehavioral and psychosocial predictors of health risk behaviors in adolescence and young adulthood. The research aims to: Assess longitudinal associations between brain systems involved in decision-making and health risk behaviors from adolescence to young adulthood. Determine if psychosocial...
This Project Grant award of $800,617 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) supports the development and validation of neuromarkers - measurable, brain-based indicators of pathophysiology, risk, and resilience related to substance use disorders (SUDs). The key objectives are to build upon prior research (R01DA043690) that used machine learning and fMRI data to create a cross-validated neuromarker for drug craving, a...
This Project Grant award, totaling $181,040.00, was issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The award aims to create an immersive training experience for the applicant to develop a unique skillset at the intersection of psychiatric genetics, substance use disorder (SUD) epidemiology and health disparities, SUD psychopharmacology, clinical informatics, and bioinformatics. The research will leverage the Million Veteran...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,373,618.00 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) aims to further validate a human sign-/goal-tracking paradigm and identify neurobehavioral signatures of sign- and goal-tracking in emerging adults. The award supports a study that will recruit 294 18-20-year-olds to assess their sign-/goal-tracking bias through an interactive Pavlovian conditioned approach task, along with measuring their...

This $397,829 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), supports the development of an AI platform to accelerate the discovery of therapeutics for substance use disorders (SUDs). The key objectives of this 1-year project are to: 1) create curated datasets and machine learning models to expedite drug discovery tasks, 2) identify mechanistic targets for GLP-1 receptor agonist pathways that can...

This $196,560 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) supports a clinical psychologist, Dr. Katherine McCurry, in launching an independent research career focused on affective neuroscience, predictive modeling, and neuromodulation approaches to substance use disorder (SUD) prevention and early intervention.

The key objectives are to: 1) Identify multivariate neurosignatures predictive of problematic substance use in adolescents, 2) Elucidate links between different types of childhood trauma (deprivation vs. threat), aberrant neurosignatures, and SUD risk, and 3) Assess adolescents' ability to modulate reward/threat-related neurosignatures using real-time fMRI neurofeedback. This work leverages data from the large-scale Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study and will collect pilot neurofeedback data from 50 adolescents. Successful completion of specialized training in neurodevelopment, predictive analytics, neurofeedback, and clinical trial design will enable the candidate to establish an independent translational research program addressing substance use issues in trauma-exposed youth.
