- 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 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 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 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) program, supports a $559,180 research project to investigate neurobiological factors underlying Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) with and without comorbid cigarette smoking. The project aims to identify AUD-associated differences in DNA methylation and RNA expression in the nucleus accumbens and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, key brain regions...
- 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), provides $248,844 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) for research on the use of blood-based RNA biomarkers to diagnose and monitor Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The research aims to determine whether blood gene expression profiles can serve as a non-invasive proxy for brain tissue to aid in personalized medicine approaches...
- This federal Project Grant award for $156,486.00 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273). The goal of the project is to investigate the role of beta2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insula-BNST pathway and their impact on ethanol consumption and abstinence-induced negative affect. The awardee, Wake Forest University Health Sciences, will conduct research to better understand the molecular mechanisms...
- 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...
- 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 $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...
