This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $794,155 over a 4-year period beginning August 1, 2024 to study the links between alcohol use, firearm access, and suicide risk. The key objectives are to: 1) conduct a nationwide survey on suicide risk, alcohol use, and firearms; 2) perform qualitative research including focus groups to identify themes and pathways related to firearm...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) grant program, will support research to understand event-level antecedents of heavy drinking among bisexual and heterosexual women with and without histories of sexual assault. The award, totaling $946,955.32, will fund a mixed-methods study over two phases. The K99 phase will use qualitative interviews to gain an in-depth understanding of...
This $166,059 Project Grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will fund research at Carnegie Mellon University to study the prevalence, developmental trajectories, and risk/protective factors associated with solitary alcohol use among young adults in the United States. The research aims to: 1) Estimate the prevalence of solitary alcohol use among 18-30 year olds over time, 2) Model developmental patterns of...
This $509,683.37 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 a translational research program led by Dr. Cofresi at the University of Missouri. The goal is to develop a human laboratory model to examine individual differences in the attribution of incentive salience to alcohol-related cues and how this relates to the development of problematic alcohol use. The...
This 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 research to examine the potential utility and risks of non-alcoholic beverages in reducing alcohol consumption. The award, totaling $178,805, will fund a study led by Dr. Bowdring at The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) to use ecological momentary assessments (EMA) to assess the relationship...
This three-year, $855,106 project grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism will fund research at the Reed Institute examining the impact of gender identification and group dynamics on alcohol-related decision making among emerging adults ages 18 to 25. The grant aims to recruit 260 participants identifying as cisgender or gender diverse to participate in automated simulations and interviews exploring how social contexts like group size and gender composition influence...
This $188,892 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will support the development and evaluation of an environmental intervention to increase availability and engagement in alcohol-free social activities among fraternity and sorority college students. The intervention aims to provide alternatives to drinking events as a means of building social connections, with the goal of reducing heavy...
This Project Grant award for $545,282 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, aims to investigate neural mechanisms associated with cognitive reappraisal and alcohol cue reactivity in individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) during early abstinence. The key objectives are to: 1) determine how neural mechanisms related to reappraisal and alcohol cue-reactivity change across early abstinence...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $498,121.57 Project Grant (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying maladaptive coping responses to stress and subsequent alcohol use. The project aims to elucidate how dysfunction in the corticolimbic circuitry, specifically the prelimbic cortex and basolateral amygdala, contributes to dysregulated stress responses and increased alcohol...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) grant program, provides $594,760.84 to The Medical University of South Carolina to conduct research on the regulation of alcohol-induced social disturbances by lateral habenula serotonin receptors. The key objectives of this research are to 1) characterize how binge alcohol drinking alters the translational and physiological landscape of...

This federal Project Grant award of $130,031 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will support research examining the relationship between alcohol use, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and behavioral economic decision-making.

The research will be conducted in two studies. Study 1 (K99 phase) will assess cross-sectional associations between these factors and determine factors predicting engagement with a remote alcohol use intervention among 100 adults with risky alcohol use. Study 2 (R00 phase) will compare 100 adults with risky alcohol use who do and do not have current suicidal thoughts/behaviors, with half receiving immediate access to the remote intervention. This will allow the researchers to determine predictors of engagement and efficacy of the alcohol use intervention as a function of suicidal thoughts/behaviors. The overall goal is to uncover factors underlying the relationship between alcohol use and suicide risk to initiate an independent research career path.
