The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has awarded a $594,784 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Yale University to conduct a multi-omic study of brains from 341 individuals to investigate the molecular pathology of alcohol use disorder (AUD). The central goal is to identify novel lasting transcriptomic and epigenetic changes in biological pathways that could serve as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for AUD. The project will analyze...
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 purpose of this 4-year project, commencing on Aug 1, 2024, is to conduct a rigorous crossover study translating preclinical findings on glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonism to humans with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Using the selective GR antagonist PT150, the study will assess its effects on...
This $545,282 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 study the neural mechanisms associated with cognitive reappraisal and alcohol cue reactivity in individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) during early abstinence. The primary objectives are to: 1) determine how neural mechanisms related to reappraisal and alcohol cue-reactivity change across early abstinence...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) aims to characterize the effects of adolescent binge alcohol consumption on sex-specific long-term behavioral phenotypes, somatostatin peptidergic circuits, and functional connectivity of the prefrontal cortex. The $597,000 award to The Pennsylvania State University will fund a multidisciplinary research approach spanning slice electrophysiology, in...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $143,784 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans. The award, effective July 30, 2024, will fund research to investigate the effects of adolescent opioid exposure on alcohol-induced hyperalgesia (increased pain sensitivity) in adult mice. The study aims to examine the role of the central nucleus of the amygdala and protein kinase C-delta...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $999,393 Cooperative Agreement under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Stress Therapeutics, Inc. on May 15, 2025. The purpose of this Phase I SBIR grant is to initiate investigational new drug (IND)-enabling studies for an innovative first-in-class therapeutic candidate aimed at chronic management of pathological hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis for the treatment of alcohol use...
This $506,472 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) supports research to investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying sex differences in adolescent binge drinking behaviors in mice. The key objectives of this 2.5-year research project are to: 1) examine the role of L-type calcium channels in regulating somatostatin neuron activity that is altered by adolescent binge drinking, and 2) use...
The University of Pittsburgh is the recipient of a $440,543 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273). This award, titled "ROLE OF CELL TYPE-SPECIFIC MOLECULAR RHYTHM DISRUPTION IN ALCOHOL USE DISORDER," will be used to investigate how molecular circadian rhythms are altered in specific cell types within the nucleus accumbens of the human brain in individuals with alcohol use...
