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 $373,300 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research on the nucleus accumbens dynamics underlying cue-reward learning. The project aims to investigate how the brain selectively discriminates and responds to reward-predictive cues versus irrelevant ones, with a focus on the role of neuronal...
This federal Project Grant award of $800,617 was provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The award supports the development and validation of neuromarkers - measurable, brain-based indicators of pathophysiology, risk, and resilience related to substance use disorders (SUDs). Specifically, the project aims to create a cross-validated neuromarker for drug craving, a core feature of SUDs, that can predict drug use and...
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) was awarded a $613,017 Project Grant under the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to support research on the neural circuit mechanisms underlying the timing of dopamine reward omission signals and their role in reinforcement learning. The project, which runs from July 1, 2025 to March 31, 2030, aims to advance the understanding of how dopamine and striatal dynamics interact to encode...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $781,119 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research on "Dissecting the Circuits and Population Dynamics that Represent Unconditioned and Conditioned Stimuli in the Ventral Hippocampus". The research aims to understand how ventral CA1 neurons in the hippocampus acquire, update, and...
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 $272,395 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research on the molecular mechanisms by which the histone methyltransferases G9A and GLP contribute to the development of addictive behaviors. The research aims to: 1) Identify surfaces that enable the specific manipulation of G9A/GLP dimers and their...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $1,080,885 to the University of Southern California (USC) from September 2024 to September 2027. The funding supports the development of novel neural network models that can capture the nonlinear dynamics of large-scale brain networks and their relationship to behavior. The models will have flexible inference capabilities, enabling real-time,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under CFDA Program 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs, provides $162,672 in funding to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct a study on the role of dopamine projections to the amygdala in goal-directed and habit learning. The research aims to use in vivo fiber photometry imaging and optogenetic manipulation techniques to characterize the function of the ventral tegmental area...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to uncover the neural circuit mechanisms that generate dopamine neuron activity and dopamine reward prediction error (RPE) signals. The $656,073 award to President and Fellows of Harvard College will support three key research objectives: Examining the roles of glutamate and GABA inputs to dopamine neurons in generating dopamine RPE...
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 $252,714.59 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to study the role of the basolateral amygdala in encoding inhibitory associations related to reward learning. The award will fund research to determine the temporal dynamics of basolateral amygdala activity during the development of inhibitory associations, assess whether...
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 $477,000.00 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on the organization of secretory compartments in neurons. The key objectives are to use cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy, cryo-focused ion beam milling, and cryo-electron tomography to dissect the molecular architecture of the dendritic and...
