This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), provides $654,879 to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University to conduct a 60-day daily diary study examining the impact of sexual minority stress on alcohol-related intimate partner violence (IPV) among bisexual and other multigender-attracted (Bi+) young adult couples. The study aims to identify modifiable intervention targets to optimize...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $736,668 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Southern California to conduct a multi-method investigation of social facilitation of alcohol effects and alcohol misuse in young adults. The project aims to extend prior research on the phenomenon of social facilitation of alcohol effects, exploring predisposing factors and mechanisms. This will involve laboratory-based studies...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $453,813 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Arizona State University (ASU) to examine how social isolation and social norm perceptions in partners' in-person and virtual social networks moderate the association between alcohol use and intimate partner aggression (IPA) among couples from low-income communities. The two-year project aims to develop an evidence base for interventions that...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $481,428 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the Moses-Weitzman Health System, Inc. on September 20, 2024. The project, titled "Translating Research into Practice on Alcohol and Polysubstance Use Disorders by Educating the Interprofessional Primary Care Team," aims to improve the capacity of primary care providers in federally qualified health centers and other safety net settings to...
This federal Project Grant award of $146,922 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), will fund a study examining the relationship between post-traumatic stress, alcohol use, and intimate partner violence (IPV) among bisexual women who have disclosed sexual violence to their partners. The study aims to clarify the key interpersonal and intrapersonal processes that may increase IPV risk for bisexual women survivors...
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...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $630,362.00, was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to study the relationship between close relationships and alcohol use disorder (AUD) risk. The primary awardee is Carnegie Mellon University, which will conduct research to investigate how poor relationship quality impacts the way couples experience alcohol, and how this in turn contributes to problematic drinking...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,135,243 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will support research to investigate changes in neural mechanisms associated with cognitive reappraisal and alcohol cue reactivity during early abstinence from alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment. The research, conducted by the University of Colorado-Denver and involving sub-awards to Emory University and the University of Denver,...
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 National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $1,345,684 Project Grant under CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs to the University of Colorado-Denver. The 5-year award, effective September 20, 2024, aims to determine the effects of alcohol use and sexual communication on intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV) among sexual minority and heterosexual couples. The project involves two studies: (1) a laboratory experiment examining acute alcohol use and partner sexual communication on IPSV perpetration, and (2) a longitudinal study assessing event-level alcohol, sexual communication, and IPSV over time. Brown University and Georgia State University Research Foundation were awarded sub-grants to support this research initiative.
