Project Grant R00AA030808
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs, will fund a longitudinal study on alcohol consumption, contexts, and consequences across the transition to legal drinking age in the United States. The University of Missouri System will receive $719,749 to conduct this 5-year study, starting on September 10, 2025. The researchers will use ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to collect self-report,...
- 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 of $119,253 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) supports research to investigate the impact of third trimester alcohol exposure on memories encoded by sharp-wave ripples in the hippocampal-retrosplenial cortex circuit. The research will use a mouse model, in vivo electrophysiology, and optogenetics to examine how this alcohol exposure affects key features of sharp-wave ripples, such as amplitude...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $733,704 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The grant, titled "Multimodal Imaging of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure: Mechanisms Underlying Spatial Navigation Memory Deficits in Children and Adolescents," will fund a study to advance understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying spatial memory...
- 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 $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, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), supports research to investigate the effects of chronic intermittent alcohol exposure on orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) astrocyte physiology, structure, and gene expression, and how these changes contribute to altered OFC neuron excitability and excessive drinking behaviors. The $459,707 award, with a period of performance from September 5,...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $550,417 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Texas at Austin. The grant, effective September 1, 2025 through May 31, 2030, supports research to investigate how heavy alcohol exposure in aging individuals leads to impaired microglia function, neurodegeneration, and cognitive deficits. The study aims to determine whether dysregulated neuroimmune and microglia responses are...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) program, is for a $735,930 feasibility and acceptability study of a large language model-based conversational agent for brief alcohol intervention among emerging adults (ages 18-29). The award will support the development, validation, and open trial of a conversational agent-delivered brief intervention designed to reduce alcohol use and problems...
- This $249,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) aims to investigate the role of the TARP G-8 protein in regulating AMPA receptor-mediated transmission in key brain regions during dependence-escalated alcohol self-administration. The project, titled "Pathological AMPA Receptor Adaptations Governing Dependence-Escalated Alcohol Self-Administration," will be conducted by researchers at Loyola...
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, as well as how alcohol consumption in turn influences these same mechanisms. The research will leverage advanced longitudinal and machine learning analysis techniques, as well as precision functional mapping data, to provide novel insights into this bi-directional association. The project will also support the applicant's transition to research independence through specialized training and professional development activities. This grant award, which commenced on September 12, 2025, is expected to be completed by August 31, 2028.
