The primary awardee, the University of New Mexico (UNM) Health Sciences Center, will leverage techniques such as monosynaptic circuit labeling, optogenetics, electrophysiology,...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA, CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs), aims to identify molecular mechanisms that could lead to new treatments for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The $146,816 award to the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio will support research to determine if astrocytic FOLH1 contributes to neuronal hyperexcitability during alcohol withdrawal, and to identify additional genes and pathways in...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) provides $248,959 to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. to conduct research on the reciprocal relationship between alcohol use and brain function in adolescents and young adults. The 5-year project aims to assess how neurocognitive mechanisms of decision-making and risk-taking in adolescence contribute to alcohol use initiation, escalation, and maintenance,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $396,643 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) supports research to elucidate the mechanisms underlying stress-potentiated ethanol drinking. The project aims to investigate the role of the histone methyltransferase G9a and its effects on dynorphin-positive neurons in the nucleus accumbens to regulate this behavior. Key objectives include testing the hypothesis that G9a's effects on...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, is focused on investigating the mechanisms through which alcohol and chronic drinking affect the function of vasoactive intestinal peptide-expressing inhibitory interneurons (VIP-INs) in the prefrontal cortex. The $459,343 award, effective from September 20, 2025 to July 31, 2030, aims to better define how alcohol modulates...
- This federal Project Grant award of $119,253 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) supports research to investigate the impact of third trimester alcohol exposure on memories encoded by sharp-wave ripples in the hippocampal-retrosplenial cortex circuit. The research will use a mouse model, in vivo electrophysiology, and optogenetics to examine how this alcohol exposure affects key features of sharp-wave ripples, such as amplitude...
- 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...
- This 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 investigate the role of cell-type specific gene regulatory networks in alcohol dependence and escalation. The $149,875 award to the University of Texas at Austin will fund a research project with the following key objectives: Assess the impact of genetically rescuing an astrocytic gene co-expression module upregulated in...
- This Project Grant award in the amount of $404,508.00 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program. The award aims to examine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) synaptic regulation and its role in cognitive impairment during early withdrawal and protracted abstinence from chronic alcohol exposure in male and female mice. The overarching goal is to determine the neuroimmune mechanisms by which chronic...
