Project Grant R01AA031685
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) provides $119,253 to the University of New Mexico to investigate the impacts of third trimester alcohol exposure on sharp-wave ripples in the hippocampal-retrosplenial cortex circuit. The researchers will use in vivo electrophysiology and optogenetics in a mouse model to analyze how third trimester alcohol exposure affects characteristics of sharp-wave ripples, which are...
- This Project Grant award of $733,704 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) supports a multimodal neuroimaging study examining the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying spatial navigation memory deficits in children and adolescents with prenatal alcohol exposure. The study aims to advance understanding of how prenatal alcohol exposure alters brain function and identify potential treatments and interventions. Key activities include...
- This federal Project Grant award of $2,227,529.00, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), supports research to investigate the neurophysiological and genetic mechanisms underlying binge drinking and alcohol use disorder. The primary objectives are to leverage advanced techniques, including monosynaptic circuit labeling, optogenetic manipulation, in vivo and ex vivo electrophysiology, and single-nucleus RNA...
- This Project Grant award of $146,100 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), will fund a research project titled "Investigating CNR1+ Corticostriatal Activity in Co-Exposure Models of FASD". The project aims to investigate the impact of paternal preconception alcohol use and maternal co-use of alcohol with cannabinoids on behavioral deficits and corticostriatal activity in rodent models. The research will...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $128,481.00, was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) on February 1, 2025. The grant supports research to determine the effect of pharmacological, genetic, or activity-based interventions to restore the neurogenic response to environmental enrichment in a mouse model of prenatal alcohol exposure. The goal is to identify potential avenues of intervention for...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $852,356 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute in Albuquerque, NM. The award, titled "The SYNCHRONY Study: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Music Training for Children", will fund a 12-week music training intervention program for children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). The goal is to evaluate whether music training can improve...
- This federal Project Grant award of $657,156.00 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) to Scripps Research Institute will support research to investigate the role of BK channels in alcohol-induced dysmyelination. The key objectives are to examine the structural and functional impacts of chronic alcohol exposure on myelin proteins, oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation, and the formation of new myelin in a mouse model. The...
- The University of Pittsburgh has been awarded a $147,486 Project Grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs) to conduct research on the effects of chronic alcohol consumption on prefrontal cortex inhibitory interneurons. The project aims to investigate how metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) regulates synaptic transmission and plasticity onto these interneurons, and how chronic alcohol exposure may alter these mechanisms. The...
- This federal Project Grant award of $498,000.00, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), will support research at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) to investigate how adolescent binge drinking impacts the development and integration of new hippocampal neurons in adulthood. The research will use a transgenic mouse model to track the fate of neural progenitor cells and test whether...
- This $2,365,880 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), aims to study the neurobiological basis of how social context influences alcohol self-administration behavior in an alcohol use disorder (AUD) animal model. The research will experimentally determine the interaction between social interaction and self-administered alcohol, how this changes with the development of alcohol dependence, and...
This federal Project Grant award of $585,577.00 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) will support research at the University of Maryland, Baltimore to investigate the effects of developmental alcohol exposure on primary and associative sensory cortices. The research aims to determine if abnormal refinement of cortical circuits due to deficits in activity-dependent neuronal plasticity from developmental alcohol exposure leads to synesthetic responses in primary sensory cortices, altered tonotopic organization in auditory cortex, and disruptions in multisensory integration. The research will use in vivo electrophysiology and optical imaging techniques in a ferret model of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) to better understand the sensory processing deficits observed in individuals with FASD. The award has an initial project period from September 26, 2025 through May 31, 2030.
