- 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,...
- 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 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...
- 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...
- 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 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,...
- 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 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 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 of $115,307 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will fund a study on the effects of a ketogenic diet on alcohol intoxication. The key objectives are to use magnetic resonance spectroscopy to measure brain glutamate and GABA levels, and assess subjective and objective indices of alcohol intoxication in healthy individuals and non-treatment-seeking individuals with alcohol use...
