This Project Grant award of $510,412.27 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will fund research to investigate the role of the gut microbiota in alcohol seeking and reward-related decision-making. The research will use mouse models and computational modeling to determine if manipulating the gut microbiota, such as through the use of prebiotics, can mitigate alcohol-induced behavioral impairments. The award period...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), aims to investigate the role of alcohol metabolism and HIV infection in driving lung and liver multimorbidity through inter-organ crosstalk mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs). The total funding amount is $148,449.00, with the award period spanning from September 17, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The principal investigator (PI) will conduct the...
This federal Project Grant award, issued by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859), provides $350,000 in funding to Sanford Research North to investigate the biobehavioral mechanisms underlying increased alcohol use following bariatric surgery. The primary objectives are to examine how changes in the gut microbiome and the rewarding effects of alcohol influence the risk of hazardous alcohol use in...
This $194,400 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 on the effects of adolescent alcohol use on the oral microbiome and brain. The awardee, the Medical University of South Carolina, will recruit 126 adolescents (ages 14-18) with varying levels of alcohol use to collect salivary samples to assess the oral microbiome, with a focus on the Lactobacillus...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $220,656 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, through its University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) division. The grant will fund research to investigate the effects of ethanol metabolism on the sorting of non-isgylated HIV proteins to hepatocyte-derived exosomes, and how these exosomes impact the pro-fibrotic activation of hepatic stellate...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) provides $184,359 to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to evaluate the use of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) as a potential therapy to reduce ethanol drinking in mice. The key objectives are to assess the effects of microbiota transplant from human donors with varying amounts of beneficial gut bacteria (Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae) on...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under its Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), awarded a $640,010 Project Grant to Vanderbilt University to conduct a 5-year study on the perceived norms around alcohol use and HIV/STI prevention among adolescents and young adults in rural Uganda. The study aims to: 1) use qualitative methods to explore perceived norms around alcohol, HIV/STI transmission risk, and HIV/STI prevention; 2) estimate the causal effects of...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $232,073 to Brown University to conduct research on alleviating antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis by restoring small intestinal bile acid metabolism. The key objectives are to determine the role of bile acid metabolism in antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis and evaluate the efficacy of bile acid restoration to...
The federal Project Grant award R56AT012463 for $340,449.00, awarded on Sep 24, 2024 by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) under the Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health (CFDA 93.213) program, supports research by Brown University to alleviate antibiotic-induced disruption of the gut microbiome. The research aims to identify mechanisms that can be translated into therapies for protecting the microbiome during antibiotic treatment,...
This Project Grant award of $131,654.00 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) aims to develop a Lactobacillus-vectored alkaline phosphatase (AP) to mitigate alcohol-induced leaky gut and reduce lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin levels in the gut. The project, awarded to Biomedit LLC, has two key objectives: 1) generating engineered live biotherapeutics (ELBPs) that can deliver functional AP, and 2) evaluating the...
