This federal Project Grant award of $3,580,802, provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to study the stress-immune mechanisms in people living with HIV (PLWH) who also have cannabis use disorder (CUD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). The research will: Determine the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and immune response to acute stress among healthy controls, PLWH, and PLWH with CUD and MDD. Identify...
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a $2,223,769 Project Grant under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to investigate the individual and combined impact of HIV and opioids on inflammasome-mediated neuroinflammation and neurotoxicity. The 5-year study, which commenced on April 15, 2025, aims to uncover the mechanistic intersection between HIV and opioids that leads to more severe neurological...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), will support research to explore the unique neurobehavioral profile of sequential opioid-stimulant polysubstance use disorders. The $314,225 award, effective July 31, 2024 through February 28, 2025, will fund a study conducted by the University of Washington to: 1) Define the behavioral profile of dual opioid-methamphetamine use disorders in a...

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 $2,940,518 to Wake Forest University Health Sciences (WFUHS) to conduct a mechanistic clinical trial investigating the neuroimmune pathways linking chronic psychosocial stress to co-occurring stimulant use and depression in people living with HIV (PWH). The study aims to: 1) investigate the causal link between a positive affect intervention and neural functioning in reward circuitry; 2) evaluate the effects of the intervention on transcriptional control pathways and peripheral inflammation; and 3) test whether reductions in pro-inflammatory markers impact reward functioning and stimulant use. The award has an initial project period from September 1, 2024 to May 31, 2029.
