Project Grant R01AA032191
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $136,236 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Washington on January 25, 2025. The grant project aims to investigate the synergistic effects of chronic alcohol use and pathological tau expression in a preclinical model, in order to better understand the neurodegeneration processes underlying Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Specifically, the research will...
- 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...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $404,250 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. The grant, awarded on September 23, 2025 with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027, supports research to explore the role of margaric acid in alcohol-associated liver diseases (AALD). The project aims to determine if margaric acid supplementation can attenuate alcohol-induced gut and liver...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $733,704 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The grant, titled "Multimodal Imaging of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure: Mechanisms Underlying Spatial Navigation Memory Deficits in Children and Adolescents," will fund a study to advance understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying spatial memory...
- 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 federal Project Grant award of $701,051 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273). The grant supports research to investigate the phenotypes and functions of distinct neutrophil populations in patients with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH). Key objectives include: 1) Characterizing the transcriptomic profiles and functional roles of neutrophil subsets in AH using single-cell RNA sequencing; 2)...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), supports research to investigate the effects of chronic intermittent alcohol exposure on orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) astrocyte physiology, structure, and gene expression, and how these changes contribute to altered OFC neuron excitability and excessive drinking behaviors. The $459,707 award, with a period of performance from September 5,...
- The University of California Irvine was awarded a $412,125 Project Grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program. The grant funds a research project to comprehensively determine how alcohol consumption alters the metabolism of critical organs, which can contribute to alcohol-induced organ damage. The project will employ arteriovenous metabolomics to quantitatively measure the dynamic metabolic...
- 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,...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $1,742,166 Project Grant under CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs to the Trustees of Boston University, doing business as Boston University Medical Campus. The grant supports a comprehensive evaluation to assess the associations of state alcohol taxation and related policy environment with state-level alcohol treatment facilities capacity and key alcohol use disorder (AUD) health service outcomes. The project...
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 critical to the heightened age-associated damage from heavy alcohol consumption. The research seeks to advance scientific understanding of the intersection between alcohol use disorders, aging, and neuroinflammation, with the goal of developing improved prevention and treatment strategies.
