The study will perform whole-genome sequencing on both mothers and children, along with methylomic, transcriptomic, and phenotypic analysis to...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. $177,736 on August 17, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to support a postdoctoral researcher's career development in understanding the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in alcohol-induced acute-on-chronic liver failure. The award funds a two-year mentored research program spanning August 17, 2026, through July 31, 2028, based in Boston, Massachusetts. The...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded Children's Research Institute $648,180 on June 20, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to investigate mechanisms and potential pharmacotherapy of neurocognitive deficits in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. The research examines the long-term neurobehavioral impact of prenatal alcohol exposure, with focus on apolipoprotein E (APOE) signaling in the motor cortex as a therapeutic target. The project builds on...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded $167,500 in Project Grant funding to the University of Massachusetts Medical School on September 17, 2025, through the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) for a research study investigating sex differences in excessive alcohol use patterns across young adulthood and middle age. The research will utilize longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) to examine how...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, part of the National Institutes of Health within the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $682,736 to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. on September 1, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to investigate myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in alcohol-associated steatohepatitis. The award funds research characterizing MDSC phenotypes and immunoregulatory capacity in alcohol-associated hepatitis...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, acting through its University of Nebraska Medical Center division, $194,292 on June 11, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to support a five-year research and career development project investigating epigenetic mechanisms in fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. The award funds a research program designed to identify ethanol-induced epigenetic alterations responsible...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded New York University $746,805 on September 1, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to investigate developmental pathways linking prenatal alcohol exposure to adult externalizing outcomes in adolescents. The research, titled the DREAMS study (Developmental Research on Externalizing Outcomes Among Youth with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure: Mediating Role of Cognitive Control and Sleep), leverages the NIH SAFE PASSAGE and...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center $160,744 on March 9, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to investigate electrophysiological mechanisms of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) effects on cognitive control. The project combines translational touchscreen testing and in vivo electrophysiology to determine how PAE impairs executive function domains in mouse models. The research hypothesizes that...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $444,304 on September 16, 2025, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) for a research project examining close-in-time mediators and moderators of social media use, alcohol-related content exposure, and young adult drinking behavior. The award funds a mixed-methods K99/R00 research initiative with two specific aims during the K99 phase. The first aim involves...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded $177,551 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York on July 1, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to support a K99/R00 Project Grant. The award funds research training and mentorship for Dr. Emilie Bruzelius to investigate how economic stressors mediate prenatal alcohol use and related birth outcomes. In the K99 phase, the research will address alcohol inaccurate reporting during pregnancy by using biologically verified data from the Healthy Brain and Child Development Study to correct prenatal consumption estimates in two national surveys: the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. The research will then characterize alcohol consumption trends by income and examine how specific economic domains—including food, housing, transportation, and healthcare costs—contribute to prenatal alcohol use patterns. The research responds to a gap in evidence regarding how women's economic experiences affect alcohol and substance use around pregnancy, particularly given that more than a quarter of U.S. births occur in families below the poverty line and low income is a risk factor for fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and adverse birth outcomes. Work is performed in New York, New York. The award period runs through June 30, 2028. This is a Project Grant assistance type.
