Key activities include training on HRV data collection...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), aims to examine transdermal alcohol concentration (TAC) features as predictors of alcohol-related consequences and alcohol use disorders (AUD) among young adults. The $613,777 grant will fund a large-scale, 2-year longitudinal study involving 500 participants aged 19-22 who frequently engage in heavy episodic drinking. The study will utilize a...
This $545,282 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, aims to study the neural mechanisms associated with cognitive reappraisal and alcohol cue reactivity in individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) during early abstinence. The primary objectives are to: 1) determine how neural mechanisms related to reappraisal and alcohol cue-reactivity change across early abstinence...
This Project Grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, provides $738,086 to Brown University under the Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to evaluate a technology-assisted parenting intervention for adolescents in residential substance use treatment.

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, is for the development and pilot testing of a text message-based parent intervention called "Digitally Prompted Parenting" (DPP). The goal is to reduce underage drinking among incoming college students by delivering tailored text message prompts to parents to encourage them to send alcohol-related risk-reducing messages...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), aims to investigate the developmental associations between impulsive personality traits, heavy alcohol use, and alcohol use disorder (AUD) progression. The award, totaling $183,449, will fund a comprehensive analysis of longitudinal data spanning childhood to middle adulthood to characterize these dynamic relationships. Additionally,...
This Project Grant award of $1,100,542.76 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, supports research to assess parenting behaviors that contribute to improved treatment outcomes for youth with co-occurring alcohol use and psychiatric disorders.
The study aims to leverage ecological momentary assessment (EMA) methods to capture the dynamic nature of parenting and its impact on core treatment targets, such as treatment motivation, alcohol craving, substance use, and symptom levels. The research involves adapting parenting measures for EMA, conducting a pilot feasibility and acceptability study, and examining momentary parenting-treatment target associations. Findings are expected to identify specific parenting practices during treatment that most strongly relate to improved outcomes, providing preliminary data for future research proposals. The project period runs from September 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, and is being conducted by the Trustees of Boston University.
