This Project Grant award of $1,447,919.00 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), supports research on cocaine addiction and the "need-state hypothesis" at Pennsylvania State University's Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. The research aims to use an animal model to identify individual vulnerability to cocaine addiction early in the disease state, and explore the use of a known satiety agent, glucagon-like...
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...
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a $1,585,991 Project Grant under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. The grant, awarded on May 1, 2025, will fund a double-blind randomized trial to evaluate the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with cognitive reappraisal training to reduce craving and cue-reactivity in individuals with cocaine use disorder. The study aims to explore...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $405,230.00 to Rafias LLC located in Philadelphia, PA. The funding supports research to advance NR4A1 as a novel target for treating cocaine use disorder. Key objectives include: 1) Lead identification by synthesizing and screening CsnB derivatives that activate human/mouse NR4A1, and 2) Lead optimization by characterizing lead compound(s) using...
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 Project Grant award, valued at $695,250.00 and 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 role of endothelial injury and myeloid cell migration in the activation of inflammasomes in HIV infection and cocaine exposure. The key objectives are to characterize myeloid cell populations in the brains of HIV-transgenic mice under chronic cocaine treatment, and evaluate the...
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has awarded a $1,372,480 Project Grant under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska's University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) division. The 5-year grant, effective April 15, 2025 through January 31, 2030, will fund research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which the interplay of HIV transactivator of transcription...
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 $1,996,709.00 to Trustees of Indiana University (doing business as Indiana University Indianapolis) to investigate the role of cortical excitatory projections in cocaine addiction. The key objectives of this 5-year research project are to: 1) examine the excitability of cortical pyramidal neurons in the supplementary motor cortex (M2...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $118,656 to the Ponce Medical School Foundation Inc. in Puerto Rico. The funding will support research to investigate the influence of fear conditioning and cocaine exposure on cocaine-seeking behavior in adult rats, with a focus on analyzing the neurophysiological changes in the prelimbic cortex-nucleus accumbens core circuitry. The project aims...
The University of Pennsylvania received a $527,837 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, to study altered midbrain GABAergic circuitry and its role in driving greater cocaine self-administration. Specifically, the researchers will characterize the functional state of midbrain GABAergic circuitry and the disposition of the KCC2 potassium-chloride cotransporter during cocaine self-administration, extinction, and...

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a $620,383 Project Grant (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to conduct a human laboratory study on using the drug pentoxifylline to target immune inflammation in individuals with cocaine use disorder. The goal is to demonstrate whether pentoxifylline can reduce the reinforcing and abuse-related effects of cocaine, while also ameliorating the immune perturbations associated with cocaine use. The project will run from July 1, 2025 to February 29, 2028 and aims to translate preclinical findings on the use of phosphodiesterase inhibitors for treating cocaine addiction to clinical populations. This research has the potential to provide important insights into the neuroimmune mechanisms underlying the pharmacodynamic effects of cocaine in humans.
