This federal Project Grant award of $360,000.00 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to develop methods for assessing the effects of social isolation and loneliness during early life on neurocognitive function and addictive behavior in adolescent and adult rats. The research team from Old Dominion University (ODU) and the ODU Research Foundation (Odurf) will employ a rat model comparing the impacts of single...
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 provide $391,833 to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to conduct preparatory research activities. The goal is to establish the feasibility and validity for a future project examining the impact of juvenile social isolation on the maturation of the prefrontal cortex circuit and substance use disorder-relevant behaviors. The preparatory...
This $161,664 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) will support the development of a behavioral arena and computational framework to study social behaviors in Lake Malawi cichlids. The project aims to create tools to track animals and measure social behavioral dynamics within a natural environment mimicking context, including factors like hierarchy and male displays. This work will generate new...
This $2,419,326 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), supports a longitudinal study to investigate neurobehavioral and psychosocial predictors of health risk behaviors (HRBs) in adolescence and young adulthood. The primary awardee, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, will conduct assessments over 15 years to understand brain development and its impact on substance use and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $237,600 to The Pennsylvania State University to study the neural mechanisms underlying opioid consumption. The project aims to characterize sex differences in resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) in mice before and after voluntary morphine consumption to determine if RSFC can predict vulnerability to initial opioid use. The long-term...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the NIH's Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), will fund a $751,043 research project at the University of Massachusetts Medical School focused on investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the complex co-morbidity of opioid use disorder (OUD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and HIV in the human brain. The project will leverage single-cell sequencing technologies and other...
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 a $346,911 cross-species research study to identify early life environmental and genetic risk factors for substance use disorders (SUDs). The key objectives are to: 1) determine how early life environment influences neurocognitive development and its relationship to adult impulsivity behaviors; 2) identify genomic networks associated...
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a $818,513 Project Grant (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to investigate the role of dopamine signaling in the basolateral amygdala in regulating individual differences in reward-based learning strategies and addiction-like behaviors. The 5-year grant, which commenced on Sep 15, 2024, will focus on examining how individual differences in Pavlovian reward learning approaches...
This $284,040 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to conduct integrated single-cell and spatial mapping of the habenula circuitry to identify projection-specific molecular pathways associated with opioid exposure. The Lieber Institute for Brain Development in Baltimore, MD will lead this research effort from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The project will generate a...
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 study the neurogenetic mechanisms underlying nicotine and cannabis addiction. The $175,888 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2028, will enable the development of novel transcriptome-connectome analysis methods to identify genes associated with changes in brain functional connectivity related to addiction. The...

This 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 on the "Behavioral and Neurobiological Mechanisms of Reciprocal Social Interactions in Substance Use Disorders." The $641,450 award to the University of Maryland, Baltimore aims to study how drug use, particularly heroin, leads to social isolation as partners fail to reciprocate social interactions. The research will use advanced machine learning methods to capture complex social behaviors in rats, with the goal of understanding the neurobiological mechanisms, particularly the role of norepinephrine, that underlie these social dynamics in substance use disorders. This research is expected to run from July 2025 through March 2030, providing critical insights into the link between social interactions and substance abuse that could inform future prevention and treatment approaches.
