Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) received a $759,210 Project Grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to conduct translational research examining the impact of prenatal tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exposure on offspring neurodevelopment. Awarded April 1, 2026, with a completion date of January 31, 2031, this research project addresses a significant knowledge gap regarding maternal cannabis use during pregnancy and its long-term effects on child development and behavior. The grant funds OHSU's development and utilization of a first-in-kind translational rhesus macaque model to study chronic edible THC exposure and its effects on fetal and postnatal brain development. The research will generate preclinical evidence on how prenatal cannabis exposure impacts offspring neurological outcomes, including brain volume changes, transcriptional alterations, and epigenetic modifications. By leveraging a nonhuman primate model that better translates to human neurobiology than traditional rodent models, this project will establish direct mechanistic associations between maternal cannabis use and subsequent child neurodevelopmental and behavioral outcomes, thereby informing clinical guidance on cannabis safety during pregnancy.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
