The work addresses mortality trends that have increased dramatically since 1999 and particularly...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded The Johns Hopkins University $616,371 under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) on June 10, 2026, to conduct a double-blind randomized controlled trial testing daridorexant, a dual orexin receptor antagonist, for reducing alcohol craving and use and improving total sleep time in patients with alcohol use disorder and co-occurring sleep disturbance. Participants recruited from a residential treatment facility will be...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded Loyola University of Chicago Health Sciences Campus $115,500 on August 17, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to identify leading causes and pathways of death in alcoholic acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients through computational analysis of clinical trial datasets. The recipient will conduct a retrospective cohort study validating findings across five NIH-funded, multicenter, randomized,...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded Kaiser Foundation Hospitals $759,219 on September 1, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to conduct early identification research on alcohol-associated liver disease in primary care settings. Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, through its Kaiser Foundation Research Institute division, will recruit 1,300 patients to determine the prevalence of current liver disease using transient elastography across all AUDIT-C...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded Yale University $880,688 on August 4, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to conduct research imaging glucocorticoid function in women with childhood trauma and alcohol use disorder. The research uses positron emission tomography with a novel radiotracer called [18F]FMOZAT to investigate brain cortisol as a potential biomarker of stress dysregulation in women with childhood trauma and alcohol use disorder. The...
- The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $747,000 on September 25, 2025, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to conduct research on associations between stigma and alcohol use among women and their offspring.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism awarded The Johns Hopkins University $766,320 on August 10, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to characterize the health care settings where women with alcohol use disorder receive initial diagnosis and identify missed opportunities for earlier intervention and engagement in treatment. The research assembles diverse data sources from 2016 through 2029, including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance claims covering approximately 49 percent of all U.S. adults, and applies modern statistical methods to characterize the setting of initial AUD diagnosis among women, identify patient factors associated with variation in diagnostic setting, and map treatment patterns and AUD-related outcomes following diagnosis. The work informs the development of targeted health system and policy reforms to improve early identification and treatment engagement for women with alcohol use disorder. Performance occurs in Baltimore, Maryland with a period of performance extending through May 31, 2031. This is a project grant, the standard assistance type for NIAAA research awards, typically supporting five-year projects.
