Texas A&M University System Health Science Center received a $635,002 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), effective June 15, 2026, with completion targeted for April 30, 2031. The award funds research investigating cholinergic modulation of striatal circuits in alcohol use disorder (AUD). The project will deliver scientific research products examining how chronic alcohol intake affects acetylcholine signaling in the dorsomedial striatum, specifically investigating the role of direct-pathway medium spiny neurons and cholinergic interneurons in regulating alcohol-seeking and alcohol-taking behaviors. The research will employ advanced neuroscience techniques to accomplish three primary objectives: determining whether chronic alcohol intake enhances acetylcholine dynamics in the striatum; investigating how acetylcholine signaling facilitates dopamine release and alcohol-seeking behavior; and examining how acetylcholine rebound influences transitions between alcohol-seeking and alcohol-taking behaviors. These research activities are anticipated to generate fundamental scientific knowledge applicable to developing improved treatment methods and prevention strategies for AUD, a condition with significant public health and economic burden. The research will be conducted at the College Station, Texas location of the awardee institution.Federal Grant Award Summary
