The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $399,048 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) on September 17, 2024. The grant will fund a study examining behavioral and electrophysiological cue reactivity in young adult binge drinkers versus social drinkers. The study will compare responses to uni- and multi-sensory alcohol and neutral cues varying in degree of realistic appearance, including...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) funding opportunity, will support research to characterize the effects of binge alcohol consumption on the neural mechanisms and social behavior mediated by serotonin receptor signaling in the lateral habenula. The total award amount is $594,760.84, with a period of performance from August 25, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The principal investigator and...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $178,805.00 and issued by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) funding mechanism, supports research to examine the potential utility versus harm of non-alcoholic beverages for reducing alcohol use. The award recipient, The Leland Stanford Junior University, will conduct two studies: An Aim 1 (K99) study to estimate the relationship between non-alcoholic beverage use and alcohol...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will fund research to characterize the effects of adolescent binge alcohol consumption on behavioral profiles, somatostatin neuron function, and functional connectivity in the prefrontal cortex, with a focus on sex differences. The $597,000 award to The Pennsylvania State University will leverage a multidisciplinary approach spanning slice...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $581,869 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The grant will fund a rigorous 4-year crossover study to translate preclinical findings on the role of glucocorticoid receptors in alcohol use disorder (AUD) to humans. The study will use the selective glucocorticoid receptor antagonist PT150 to examine its effects on stress-induced and alcohol-induced...
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 enhance the understanding and prediction of heavy drinking episodes during initial recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD). The project aims to utilize cutting-edge wearable biosensors and artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies to elucidate the complex interplay of physiological and neuroclinical...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $545,282 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Colorado-Denver to study neural mechanisms associated with emotion regulation and alcohol cue reactivity during early abstinence from alcohol use disorder (AUD). The 5-year project aims to determine how neural function related to cognitive reappraisal and alcohol cue processing changes across early AUD treatment, and whether...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $262,406 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Washington. The funding will support the development and pilot testing of a user-customizable, web-based personalized normative feedback (PNF) intervention to reduce alcohol-related harm among young adults. The project aims to (1) user-center develop the innovative PNF intervention that allows participants to receive normative...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, supports research to model a national graduated-BAC per se policy for 21-24 year old drivers. The goal is to reduce alcohol-impaired driving injury and fatal crashes, which have increased by 23% in the last 10 years and represent over $348B in societal costs annually. The $153,694 award, granted on September 5,...
This Project Grant award for $195,180.00, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, aims to evaluate the neural correlates of social and affective reward gained from alcohol consumption in social contexts. The study will employ a novel hyperscanning EEG setup to simultaneously record brain activity across participants as they engage in a music-listening task in a social setting, while also...
