This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), provides $249,000.00 to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington to investigate how adolescent binge drinking impacts the integration of newborn neurons into mature hippocampal circuitry. The research aims to elucidate the cellular and physiological mechanisms by which adolescent alcohol exposure disrupts the maturation and circuit integration...
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, will support the development and testing of a novel in vivo model called CHIMERA-BONCAT. This model will enable comprehensive, unbiased, and cell-type-specific characterization of the human microglial response to alcohol exposure. The $214,385 award, with a period of performance from August 2024 to July 2026, will fund research...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $119,253 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center. The grant will fund research to investigate the impact of third trimester alcohol exposure on sharp-wave ripples, a key neural mechanism for learning and memory, in the hippocampal-retrosplenial cortex circuit. The project will utilize a mouse model, in vivo electrophysiology, and optogenetics...
This federal Project Grant award of $151,869, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), will support research to investigate the relationship between chronic alcohol consumption, metabolic dysfunction, and the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The key objectives of this 2-year project include: 1) assessing the impact of chronic ethanol exposure on metabolic function and tau pathology in an AD mouse...
This $349,738 project grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) is funding research at Ursinus College to investigate the role of microglial fractalkine signaling in altered dopaminergic wiring resulting from fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). The research aims to (1) define the developmental timing of alcohol-induced alterations in fractalkine signaling, and (2) determine the impact of these changes on...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $194,551 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to The Medical University of South Carolina. The funding supports research to investigate the effects of adolescent intermittent ethanol exposure on the regulation of a neural pathway involving the prelimbic cortex and ventrolateral periaqueductal gray, and its impact on pain processing and sensitivity. The research aims to elucidate how changes in the...
This federal Project Grant award of $723,676 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), is funding a research study on the long-term effects of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) on brain health. The study will investigate the relationship between an objective biomarker of cigarette smoke exposure and measures of brain structure, function, and cognition among former smokers who have switched to e-cigarettes, compared to...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), provides $375,210 to West Chester University of Pennsylvania to investigate the effects of developmental co-exposure to alcohol and nicotine from e-cigarettes on physiological measures and behavioral development in a mouse model.

The key products and services to be delivered include: 1) Examining whether co-exposure to alcohol and nicotine via e-cigarettes during early development alters drug metabolism, shifts gut microbiome populations, and changes gene expression in dams and offspring, and 2) Determining if this co-exposure modulates motor and anxiety-related behaviors and associated gene expression in critical brain regions later in life. The research will be conducted by graduate and undergraduate students across the Psychology, Biology, and Chemistry departments, providing valuable research experience and preparing them for future advanced degree programs.
