The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $736,668 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Southern California (USC) to conduct a multi-method investigation of social facilitation of alcohol effects and alcohol misuse in young adults. The grant aims to extend prior research on the phenomenon of social facilitation of alcohol effects, where an individual's response to alcohol is greater when drinking with others...
This $194,616 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will support research examining the use of protective behavioral strategies (PBS) during occasions of co-use involving alcohol and cannabis among young adults aged 18-25. The study aims to: 1) assess the frequency of alcohol and cannabis PBS used on co-use occasions compared to alcohol-only or cannabis-only occasions; 2) determine the association...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, is providing $630,362 to Carnegie Mellon University to conduct research on how relationship quality impacts alcohol use disorder (AUD) risk. The project aims to develop a novel conceptual model depicting how poor relationship quality affects the way couples experience the social and emotional rewards of alcohol, which can then lead...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) grant program, is focused on examining the relationship between ongoing alcohol use, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and related decision-making factors. The $130,031 award will fund two related studies over a 2-year period. The first study (K99) will assess cross-sectional associations between alcohol use, behavioral economic decision-making,...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $613,777, was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) grant program. The award supports a 5-year study to examine transdermal alcohol concentration (TAC) biosensor features as predictors of alcohol-related consequences and alcohol use disorders (AUDs) among 500 young adults (ages 19-22) who frequently engage in heavy episodic drinking. The research will utilize a...
This federal Project Grant award, issued by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) program, supports a comprehensive research initiative to investigate the developmental links between impulsive personality traits and the progression of alcohol use disorder (AUD) from childhood to adulthood. The $183,449 award, with a project period from September 6, 2024 to August 31, 2029, will enable the researchers at Indiana University...

This Project Grant award for $164,349, awarded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, supports research to characterize the sex-specific genetic architecture of alcohol use disorders (AUD) with comorbid major depressive disorder (MDD). The primary objectives are to analyze the interacting effects of sex, genetics, and comorbid MDD on the trajectory of AUD across 10 existing longitudinal cohorts of...
This $669,973 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) supports the development and evaluation of parent-based interventions (PBIs) to reduce underage drinking on college campuses.
