Project Grant R00AA030591
- This Project Grant award of $175,372 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) supports a training program in the etiology and consequences of alcohol use across the lifespan at the Rutgers Addiction Research Center (RARC), the largest comprehensive addiction research center in the U.S. The interdisciplinary training program, led by 11 RARC-affiliated faculty mentors, will provide postdoctoral trainees with expertise in the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will support a research study examining emotion regulation strategy use in an outpatient treatment program for adolescents with co-occurring alcohol use disorder (AUD) and psychiatric diagnoses. The $248,770 award, made on September 25, 2025, will fund a pilot study to test the feasibility and acceptability of an ecological momentary assessment (EMA)...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs, provides $165,279 to the University of Washington to conduct research on "Understanding the Neural Markers of Incentive Salience for Alcohol: The Role of Context in Brain-Behavior Relationships." The key objectives of this 5-year research project are to characterize the brain-behavior mechanisms of incentive salience that drive alcohol use behaviors...
- This federal Project Grant award of $148,842.00 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) is for a research project investigating the relationship between social media use, exposure to alcohol-related content, and drinking behavior in young adults. The key objectives are to: (1) gain an in-depth understanding of young adults' perceptions of the factors influencing the associations between social media use,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $152,643 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), supports the development and characterization of a novel positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand, (S)-[18F]OF-NB1, to quantify the availability of GluN2B-containing N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (GluN2BR) in people with alcohol use disorder (AUD). The two-phase project will first establish the imaging properties and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) provides $248,959 to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. to conduct research on the reciprocal relationship between alcohol use and brain function in adolescents and young adults. The 5-year project aims to assess how neurocognitive mechanisms of decision-making and risk-taking in adolescence contribute to alcohol use initiation, escalation, and maintenance,...
- 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 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 investigate the role of cell-type specific gene regulatory networks in alcohol dependence and escalation. The $149,875 award to the University of Texas at Austin will fund a research project with the following key objectives: Assess the impact of genetically rescuing an astrocytic gene co-expression module upregulated in...
- This federal Project Grant award of $396,643 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) supports research to elucidate the mechanisms underlying stress-potentiated ethanol drinking. The project aims to investigate the role of the histone methyltransferase G9a and its effects on dynorphin-positive neurons in the nucleus accumbens to regulate this behavior. Key objectives include testing the hypothesis that G9a's effects on...
- This federal Project Grant award for $700,000.00, issued by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training program, supports research to investigate the neurophysiological and genetic factors contributing to binge drinking and alcohol use disorder. The primary awardee, the University of New Mexico (UNM) Health Sciences Center, will leverage techniques such as monosynaptic circuit labeling, optogenetics, electrophysiology,...
This Project Grant award of $249,000 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will provide training and support to Dr. Jonas Dora at the University of Washington to conduct research on the role of affect (i.e., mood and emotion) in alcohol use decision-making. The award will fund a K99/R00 Pathway to Independence program, where Dr. Dora will receive intensive training from leading experts in experimental, ecological, and computational approaches to studying alcohol use. This training will position him to make substantial contributions to the field of alcohol research over the course of his career. The proposed research will involve conducting controlled experiments in a simulated bar environment as well as field studies in natural drinking environments to better understand the positive and negative reinforcement processes underlying heavy alcohol use.
