This Project Grant award in the amount of $715,238 was issued on January 15, 2025 by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The project will conduct a large-scale genetic study involving a survey of 500,000 diverse individuals to investigate the genetic basis of opioid-related traits and opioid use disorder (OUD). The research aims to elucidate genetic risk factors across the stages of opioid use, from initial use...

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded The Washington University a 3-year, $2,337,729 Project Grant under the Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to study the impact of prenatal opioid exposure on placental and fetal brain development. The project, titled "The Opioid in Pregnancy: Imaging of Oxygenation, Inflammation, and Development in Brain & Placenta" (OPIOID BPP), aims to define the longitudinal effects of prenatal opioid exposure on placental inflammation/oxygenation and fetal brain development, as well as the relationship between these factors and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and early neurodevelopmental outcomes. Key activities include advanced placental and fetal brain imaging, molecular analysis of placental biomarkers, and integrating these data to identify potential therapeutic targets. The project involves collaborations with Boston Children's Hospital and the Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene, who are sub-recipients providing specialized imaging protocol design, data processing, and molecular assessment services.
