Project Grant R01AA031683
- 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 federal Project Grant award for $700,000.00, issued by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training program, supports research to investigate the neurophysiological and genetic factors contributing to binge drinking and alcohol use disorder. The primary awardee, the University of New Mexico (UNM) Health Sciences Center, will leverage techniques such as monosynaptic circuit labeling, optogenetics, electrophysiology,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $2,552,568.00, awarded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) program, supports research to investigate the relationship between stress-induced neuroadaptations in the insula-BNST pathway and subsequent alcohol use disorder (AUD)-related behavior. The project, conducted by Wake Forest University Health Sciences, aims to elucidate how stress activation of AUD-associated...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $550,417 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Texas at Austin. The grant, effective September 1, 2025 through May 31, 2030, supports research to investigate how heavy alcohol exposure in aging individuals leads to impaired microglia function, neurodegeneration, and cognitive deficits. The study aims to determine whether dysregulated neuroimmune and microglia responses are...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $150,526 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The project aims to assess the prevalence and theoretical drivers of novel high-intensity drinking behaviors, such as "BORG" (blackout rage gallon) drinking,...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a 5-year, $597,000 Project Grant titled "Sex-Dependent Shifts in Behavioral Profiles and Cortical Signaling Following Adolescent Binge Drinking" to The Pennsylvania State University. The grant, funded under CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs, aims to characterize changes in behavior, cortical adaptations in somatostatin neuron function and peptide signaling, and functional connectivity following adolescent...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $105,132 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The grant, titled "Uncovering the Functional and Mechanistic Dysregulation of Monocytes After Abstinence and Post-Abstinence Drinking," will leverage a rhesus macaque model to investigate the persistent functional, transcriptional, and epigenetic changes in peripheral monocytes induced by...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $560,108.00 and spanning September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2030, was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program. The purpose of the project is to investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms that promote resilience to alcohol use disorder (AUD) in individuals with a family history of AUD. Specifically, the research will examine how attentional abilities may...
- This federal Project Grant award of $148,842.00 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) is for a research project investigating the relationship between social media use, exposure to alcohol-related content, and drinking behavior in young adults. The key objectives are to: (1) gain an in-depth understanding of young adults' perceptions of the factors influencing the associations between social media use,...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), will support research on the role of somatostatin in the central amygdala in relation to heavy alcohol drinking. The research team at Boston University Medical Campus will use an animal model of heavy alcohol drinking, combined with pharmacological, molecular, and electrophysiological approaches, to test the hypothesis that activation of...
This federal Project Grant award of $629,828.00 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) on September 20, 2025. The grant supports a research project titled "Multimodal Assessment of Neural, Neuroendocrine, and Immune Cue Responses in Binge Drinkers in the Laboratory and Real World" conducted by Auburn University. The overall goal is to examine neurobiological factors, including neural, neuroendocrine, and immune responses, associated with binge drinking and cue-induced drinking behavior longitudinally. The research aims to replicate and extend previous findings demonstrating that dysregulations in these neurobiological cue responses constitute a multi-attribute biomarker of binge drinking and are related to craving and drinking in both laboratory and real-world settings. The project will also explore the moderating effects of individual neurobiological vulnerabilities and a composite risk propensity score on the associations between cue exposure and drinking in daily life. The research is expected to be completed by August 31, 2030.
