This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs will fund a study examining the neural correlates of alcohol reward in social contexts. The $293,128 award to the University of Illinois will support research using a hyperscanning EEG setup to simultaneously record EEG signals across participants in social drinking settings. The study aims to evaluate the neural mechanisms underlying the rewarding effects of...
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) to examine behavioral and electrophysiological cue reactivity in young adult binge drinkers. The study will compare responses to uni- and multisensory alcohol and neutral cues that vary in degree of realistic appearance, and explore the effects of multisensory congruence on cue responses. The project...
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 effects of social influences on alcohol use across development. The $340,822 award will support a study using longitudinal, ecological momentary assessment (EMA), and social network data to determine how changes in social factors, such as drinking peers and family/friend relationships, predict changes in...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $498,121.57 Project Grant under CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs to the University of New Mexico (UNM) on Aug 15, 2024. The grant supports a research project titled "Corticolimbic Circuitry in Adaptive Stress Coping Behavior and Subsequent Alcohol Drinking." The project aims to investigate the neural mechanisms driving maladaptive coping responses to stress and subsequent alcohol use, with a focus on sex...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $537,587 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to conduct research on the metabolic consequences of liver inflammation on alcohol consumption and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The key objectives are to identify the mechanisms by which the transcription factor IRF3 suppresses the expression and secretion of the metabolic regulator...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $669,973 Project Grant (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) to Loyola Marymount University (LMU) to develop and evaluate two parent-based interventions (PBIs) to prevent and reduce underage drinking among college students. The project aims to optimize a social media-inspired app (ParentCandor PNF+) and create a less time-intensive email-based social norms marketing campaign (SNMC+) to engage parents and influence...
This $166,059 Project Grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will fund research at Carnegie Mellon University to study the prevalence, developmental trajectories, and risk/protective factors associated with solitary alcohol use among young adults in the United States. The research aims to: 1) Estimate the prevalence of solitary alcohol use among 18-30 year olds over time, 2) Model developmental patterns of...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $517,248.00, was issued by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) grant program. The award supports research to explore the mechanisms by which acute and chronic alcohol exposure regulate a norepinephrine-astrocyte-dopamine arousal pathway in the ventral periaqueductal gray (VPAG) region of the brain, and how this pathway contributes to alcohol-related changes in sleep behavior....
This $302,024 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the federal Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) on September 14, 2023. The grant supports a research project by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) to assess the impacts of increased alcohol home delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project aims to: 1) document compliance with age verification policies during alcohol home deliveries, 2)...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $597,000 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to study the effects of adolescent binge drinking on behavioral profiles, somatostatin neuron function, and functional connectivity in the prefrontal cortex. The 5-year project, running from June 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030, will use a multidisciplinary approach spanning electrophysiology, in vivo...
