Project Grant R01AA032036
- 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...
- 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,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) provides $171,178 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the fundamental genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying the transgenerational effects of alcohol exposure. The overarching goal is to reveal how the "memory" of alcohol exposure is encoded and transmitted across generations in the nervous system. The research will leverage...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA, CFDA 93.273 Alcohol Research Programs) provides $647,330 to Wake Forest University Health Sciences to conduct research on the role of epigenetics in predisposing the brain to risky alcohol use. The researchers will perform a longitudinal genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of the rhesus macaque dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to identify biomarkers associated with future alcohol drinking levels. The goal...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs, will fund a longitudinal study on alcohol consumption, contexts, and consequences across the transition to legal drinking age in the United States. The University of Missouri System will receive $719,749 to conduct this 5-year study, starting on September 10, 2025. The researchers will use ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to collect self-report,...
- This three-year, $855,106 project grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism will fund research at the Reed Institute examining the impact of gender identification and group dynamics on alcohol-related decision making among emerging adults ages 18 to 25. The grant aims to recruit 260 participants identifying as cisgender or gender diverse to participate in automated simulations and interviews exploring how social contexts like group size and gender composition influence...
- This Project Grant award of $720,043 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) is funding a randomized clinical trial to examine the efficacy of the electronic alcohol intervention eCHECKUP TO GO combined with a brief parent-based intervention to reduce high school student drinking. The goal is to expand on prior research showing the promise of web-based personalized feedback interventions and brief parent-based interventions in...
- 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...
- This $154,967 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) supports Dr. Chen in establishing an independent research career investigating developmental pathways to alcohol use and misuse in adolescence and early adulthood. The overarching goal is to understand how and why parental factors are associated with adolescent early alcohol initiation, with the aim of informing effective prevention programs that...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $498,002 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Illinois to conduct a study aimed at increasing alcohol abstinence in young adults with alcohol use disorder (AUD). The overall goals of this 3-year project are to: (1) test the efficacy of combining contingency management (CM) with problem-solving therapy (CM-PST) versus CM alone in a 2-arm pilot randomized controlled trial, and...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), awarded a $746,544 Project Grant to the University of Southern California (USC) to study the impact of personalized genetic and phenotypic feedback on early drinking behaviors among Asian American college students. This research builds upon prior NIAAA-funded studies conducted by USC, which demonstrated sustained effects on self-reported alcohol use and protective behaviors in this population. The current 5-year project will assess 450 Northeast Asian college students, comparing the efficacy of communicating phenotypic risk information with and without personalized genotype feedback related to the ALDH2 gene, which is associated with increased cancer risk from alcohol consumption in this population. The findings from this study have the potential to inform scaled-up interventions that could impact drinking behaviors and reduce alcohol-related health consequences among at-risk Asian American college students.
