This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), is focused on understanding the role of the "need-state" hypothesis in the development of cocaine addiction using an animal model. The $1,447,919 award, spanning May 2025 to February 2030, aims to: Test whether treatment with a GLP-1 receptor agonist can block the aversive conditioned response and subsequent cocaine seeking/taking...
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has awarded a $492,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) to the University of Chicago to conduct a multidimensional study on the genetic and epigenetic factors underlying cocaine addiction. The 5-year project aims to: Perform high-resolution chromatin accessibility and DNA methylation profiling to delineate cell-type and circuit-specific epigenetic changes following cocaine self-administration in mice. This will...
This $693,129 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) supports research to investigate the role of chromatin regulation and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in the persistent craving for cocaine after forced abstinence. The primary awardee, Duke University, will use innovative molecular genetic techniques to define the changes in chromatin architecture and gene expression...
This $149,284 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) to Vanderbilt University will fund research to understand how chronic cocaine use disrupts the neural processing of aversive, non-drug stimuli in the brain. The study aims to define the precise temporal parameters under which dopamine release modulates the activity of genetically-defined neuron populations in the nucleus accumbens, both at baseline and in...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,127,388 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) aims to investigate the role of the protein Rac1 in the neuronal ensembles that drive cocaine-seeking behavior in an animal model. The research will determine the impact of Rac1 activity on cocaine-seeking behavior, identify structural changes in cocaine-associated neuronal ensembles, and examine the effect of Rac1 on the reactivity of...
This federal Project Grant award, identified as K99DA060930, was provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The $136,929 award will fund research to investigate the impact of chronic cocaine use on habitual behaviors and associated neural activity patterns in mice. The research will examine whether a history of cocaine self-administration alters dopamine release and neural activity in brain regions associated with...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $157,568 to Drexel University to elucidate corticolimbic circuit and neuroimmune mechanisms underlying HIV-induced dysregulation of reward-seeking behavior. The research aims to use optogenetic and chemogenetic techniques to stimulate the infralimbic cortex-nucleus accumbens shell circuit and modulate microglial function to rescue HIV-induced...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $445,500.00 to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to conduct high-throughput identification and characterization of conserved regulators of drug-induced plasticity in the Caenorhabditis elegans nervous system. The goal is to generate comprehensive molecular, behavioral, and neuronal activity atlases in response to acute and...
This $121,323 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The project aims to investigate the structural and functional responses of nucleus accumbens microglia following long-access cocaine self-administration in male and female rats. The key products and services to be delivered include: Exploring the morphological responses of accumbens microglia and evidence of astrocyte membrane...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $454,470.00 in funding to Drexel University to develop a new imaging pipeline and analytical approach for examining the spatial architecture of histone dopaminylation in the central nervous system (CNS) of mice with HIV infection that self-administer cocaine. The goal is to connect molecular-level epigenetic changes with behavioral outcomes...
