This $403,542 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to profile projection-specific proteome associated with the incubation of oxycodone craving. The project will focus on the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) to dorsal striatum (DS) projections, analyzing proteome changes in OFC neuronal somas (Aim 1) and OFC-DS projection-specific synaptoneurosomes in the DS (Aim 2) during the incubation of oxycodone...
This $234,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), supports research at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to investigate rapid protein translation in nucleus accumbens neurons in response to a cocaine-associated cue. The goal is to use translating ribosome affinity purification and RNA sequencing (TRAP-seq) to identify mRNAs that are actively translating during re-exposure to cocaine...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs), provides $477,845 to North Central College in Naperville, Illinois to conduct research on cellular and circuit adaptations contributing to the incubation of oxycodone craving. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize the time course of ketamine's ability to reduce oxycodone incubation, 2) determine an effective dosing regimen and timepoint for therapeutic...
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 $419,876 to conduct preclinical trials targeting the neuropeptide S (NPS) receptor to mitigate opioid taking and seeking behaviors in animal models. The goals of the project are to demonstrate proof-of-concept that NPS receptor-targeted molecules can reduce oxycodone self-administration and motivation in rats, which could inform the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) provides $759,339 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct research on the role of central amylin receptors in opioid-mediated behaviors. The key objectives are to: Comprehensively define the functional roles of cell type-specific ventral tegmental area (VTA) and nucleus accumbens (NAc) amylin receptors in opioid taking and seeking behaviors...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $842,400 to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to develop chemical biology tools for illuminating cannabinoid signaling pathways in opioid use disorder. The objective is to expand OHSU's cannabinoid chemical biology toolkit, particularly towards the atypical cannabinoid receptor GPR55, and apply these tools in ex vivo and in vivo...
This $265,302 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) supports research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying opioid use disorder (OUD) and relapse risk during abstinence. The funded project will map the functional and anatomical pathways between the anterior and posterior paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) and the nucleus accumbens (NAc), which have been implicated in the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), will fund research to investigate the role of cholinergic interneurons in the ventral tegmental area on opioid-related behaviors. The $373,181 grant, awarded on July 15, 2024 with a completion date of June 30, 2027, aims to determine whether mu-opioid receptors on cholinergic interneurons contribute to opioid reward, consumption, and withdrawal, and how...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $1,073,250 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to investigate age-related differences in opioid reward and addiction. The funded studies will use rat models to determine how the middle-adult developmental stage may influence sensitivity to prescription opioids, heroin, and fentanyl, compared to younger adulthood. The research aims...
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), awarded a $1,188,822 Project Grant (R01DA059455) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The grant will fund a 5-year research project to molecularly and cellularly profile the habenulo-interpeduncular circuit in opioid tolerance and withdrawal. The project aims to examine gene expression and neuronal calcium dynamics in the interpeduncular nucleus during chronic...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $1,749,120 to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to study the incubation of oxycodone craving and related nucleus accumbens plasticity. The project will use the "incubation of craving" model in rats to investigate the persistence of vulnerability to cue-induced relapse even after long periods of abstinence from oxycodone self-administration. The research aims to elucidate the specific brain pathways and cell types involved in this phenomenon, focusing on the role of calcium-permeable AMPA receptors in the nucleus accumbens. The award period runs from Sept. 30, 2024, to May 31, 2029.
