Baylor University received a $310,722 Project Grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028. The award supports the GENESIS (Genetic, Environmental, and Social Interactions Shaping Early Cannabis Use) study, which investigates predictive factors associated with early cannabis initiation among U.S. youth. This research initiative will generate evidence-based knowledge on the genetic, environmental, and social mechanisms that influence cannabis use onset during formative developmental periods, contributing to NIDA's broader mission to develop prevention and intervention strategies for substance use disorders. The project will be conducted at Baylor University's Waco, Texas campus. As a private research institution with substantial experience executing federal research initiatives across multiple scientific disciplines, Baylor University brings institutional capacity to support NIDA's research priorities in understanding the complex factors driving early cannabis use among adolescent populations. The findings from this two-year investigation are intended to inform public health approaches to prevention and early intervention for youth cannabis use.Grant Award Summary
