This federal Project Grant award of $710,992, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), supports a longitudinal study to understand the trajectory, mechanisms, and impacts of changes in emotion processing deficits during early alcohol use disorder (AUD) recovery. The University of Florida, the primary awardee, will recruit recently abstinent individuals in residential AUD treatment and a matched community control...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $1,373,036 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Yale University. The overarching goal of this 5-year research project (Sep 2024 - Aug 2029) is to enhance the understanding and prediction of heavy drinking episodes during initial recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD). The project aims to leverage wearable biosensor technology and artificial intelligence to develop real-time predictive...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Illinois. The $293,128 grant, awarded on August 23, 2024, will fund a study examining the neural correlates of alcohol reward in social contexts using a hyperscanning EEG setup. The research aims to evaluate the neural mechanisms underlying the rewarding effects of alcohol in social settings and assess how individual and group-level factors...
The federal Project Grant award R00AA030665 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program. The $249,001 award, effective May 1, 2025, supports a study entitled "Study Aimed at Increasing Alcohol Abstinence (DEDICATE)" to be conducted by the University of Illinois. The key objectives of this project are to (1) test the efficacy of combining contingency management (CM) with...
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 advance the understanding of the neural markers of incentive salience for alcohol cues and their relationship to real-world alcohol use behaviors. The $165,279 award, granted to the University of Washington, will leverage a combined laboratory-ambulatory study design to characterize the brain-behavior mechanisms driving...
This federal Project Grant award of $581,869 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs, will fund a human neuroscience study to investigate the role of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonism in alcohol use disorder (AUD). The study will evaluate the effects of a selective GR antagonist, PT150, on behavioral, neuroendocrinological, and physiological responses to stress and alcohol in 34 participants. The research aims...
This federal 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 the development of novel 3D human brain circuits to investigate the role of microglia in alcohol use disorder (AUD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. The $223,531 award to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will fund research to elucidate how alcohol-induced changes in microglial metabolism...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, aims to investigate the neural mechanisms driving adaptive stress coping behaviors and subsequent alcohol use. The $498,121.57 award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2027, will utilize an animal model to explore how dysfunction in the corticolimbic circuitry, specifically the prelimbic cortex and basolateral...
This $711,808 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will support a multi-year research project at Yale University to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the stress response and its relationship to chronic alcohol consumption. The key objectives of the research are to: 1) develop a connectome-based model to predict stress responses using functional MRI data, 2) characterize dynamic...
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...
