The research will develop and refine digital mindfulness-based and protective behavioral strategy intervention content, then deploy it through a randomized trial with daily-level...
- The National Institute on Drug Abuse awarded The University of Iowa $537,469 on August 15, 2026, under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to investigate carbonic anhydrase 4 as a non-opioid therapeutic target for reversing opioid-induced neurobiological changes underlying relapse and drug-seeking behavior. The research employs a multidisciplinary approach in mice to delineate synaptic, circuit, and network-level mechanisms through which carbonic anhydrase 4 disruption and...
- The National Institute on Drug Abuse awarded New York University $547,333 on September 1, 2026, under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to conduct a mixed-methods study identifying state-level implementation strategies for expanding access to extended take-home methadone doses in opioid treatment programs.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse awarded the University of Utah $1,442,744 on August 15, 2026, under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to conduct the Co-Use of Opioids and Alcohol Prevention Study (COAPS) 2.0. The award funds a hybrid type-2 implementation effectiveness study designed to scale an alcohol-targeted brief intervention-medication therapy management (ABI-MTM) intervention across community pharmacy settings. The study will execute a three-pronged implementation strategy across 24 pharmacy sites within a retail pharmacy chain, deploying pharmacy software-integrated prescreening outreach prompts and providing staff education and training to identify and intervene with opioid patients engaged in high-risk alcohol use. Prior developmental work demonstrated the ABI-MTM intervention's feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy at three months post-intervention and identified implementation barriers and facilitators that now inform this scaled rollout using the Practical, Robust, Implementation, and Sustainability (PRISM) model. The work addresses the persistent co-use of alcohol and opioids in the United States, where 24–38 percent of those with alcohol use disorders also have an opioid use disorder, and prior community pharmacy studies documented high-risk drinking in 19–31 percent of patients dispensed opioids. Concurrent use synergistically elevates overdose risk through sedation and respiratory depression. Work is performed in Emigration Canyon, Utah. The period of performance extends from the award date through May 31, 2031.
