Project Grant R00AA030611
- This federal Project Grant award of $723,736.00 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) on September 20, 2025. The award will fund a study to "Examining Transactional Relationships Between Sensor-Derived Alcohol Use Data and Acute Suicide Risk in Daily Life" at the University of Rhode Island. The study aims to assess the temporal and proximal relationship between acute alcohol use and suicide...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) program, supports a $559,180 research project to investigate neurobiological factors underlying Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) with and without comorbid cigarette smoking. The project aims to identify AUD-associated differences in DNA methylation and RNA expression in the nucleus accumbens and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, key brain regions...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $560,108.00 and spanning September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2030, was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program. The purpose of the project is to investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms that promote resilience to alcohol use disorder (AUD) in individuals with a family history of AUD. Specifically, the research will examine how attentional abilities may...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA, CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs) provides $647,330 to Wake Forest University Health Sciences to conduct research on the role of epigenetics in predisposing the brain to risky alcohol use. The researchers will perform a longitudinal genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of the rhesus macaque dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to identify biomarkers associated with future alcohol drinking levels. The goal...
- 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 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 $720,763 Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), supports research on the vulnerability to substance use among adolescents participating in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. The research aims to investigate how demographic, environmental, and psychological factors influence the transition from substance use initiation to regular or heavy use, while...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), provides $248,844 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) for research on the use of blood-based RNA biomarkers to diagnose and monitor Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The research aims to determine whether blood gene expression profiles can serve as a non-invasive proxy for brain tissue to aid in personalized medicine approaches...
- This Project Grant award of $1,999,225.00 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will fund a whole-genome sequencing study to improve the understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying alcohol use disorder (AUD). The study aims to uncover novel rare, common, and structural genetic variants associated with AUD, identify causal variants through cross-ancestry fine-mapping to improve disease prediction, and map the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) provides $248,999 to Virginia Commonwealth University to explore the genetic and neurocognitive mechanisms underlying the co-occurrence of alcohol use/problems and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The overarching goal is to examine how aggregate genetic liability and decision-making processes may contribute to this co-occurrence. The 3-year project period runs from September 11, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The research aims to gain a better understanding of shared risk factors and mechanisms to inform the development of more effective prevention and intervention strategies targeting these interrelated public health issues.
