The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $105,057 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Temple University-Of The Commonwealth System of Higher Education. The grant supports a 22-month prospective study to investigate smartwatch-based predictors of binge drinking onset in first-year college students. The study aims to examine how physical activity, sleep, and heart rate variability measured via smartwatches can prospectively predict the...
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 to conduct a multi-method investigation of social facilitation of alcohol effects and alcohol misuse in young adults. The project aims to extend prior research on the phenomenon of social facilitation of alcohol effects, exploring predisposing factors and mechanisms. This will involve laboratory-based studies...
This Project Grant award for $545,282 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, aims to investigate neural mechanisms associated with cognitive reappraisal and alcohol cue reactivity in individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) during early abstinence. The key objectives are to: 1) determine how neural mechanisms related to reappraisal and alcohol cue-reactivity change across early abstinence...
This federal Project Grant award of $293,128, funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), aims to examine the neural correlates of alcohol reward in social contexts. The award will support a study that uses novel alcohol administration methods and hyperscanning electroencephalography (EEG) techniques to evaluate the impact of social familiarity and alcohol dose on the neural and subjective experience of social and...
This $597,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)'s Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will support research at The Pennsylvania State University from June 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030. The project aims to characterize the effects of adolescent binge alcohol consumption on behavioral profiles, somatostatin neuron function and peptide signaling, and functional connectivity in the prefrontal cortex, with a focus on identifying sex-specific...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $498,121.57 Project Grant (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying maladaptive coping responses to stress and subsequent alcohol use. The project aims to elucidate how dysfunction in the corticolimbic circuitry, specifically the prelimbic cortex and basolateral amygdala, contributes to dysregulated stress responses and increased alcohol...
This $509,683.37 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 a translational research program led by Dr. Cofresi at the University of Missouri. The goal is to develop a human laboratory model to examine individual differences in the attribution of incentive salience to alcohol-related cues and how this relates to the development of problematic alcohol use. The...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $618,932 Project Grant (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) to Brown University to develop a virtual reality (VR) experience that can be used as part of brief motivational interventions (BMIs) to help reduce heavy drinking among young adults. The goal is to use the VR experience to enhance client engagement and elicit change talk in MI-based interventions by helping participants reflect more deeply on the discrepancy...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), aims to enhance the understanding and prediction of heavy drinking episodes during initial recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD). The $1,373,036 award, spanning September 2024 to August 2029, will leverage wearable biosensors and artificial intelligence to develop real-time predictive models that can anticipate periods of heightened drinking risk...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $481,428 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the Moses-Weitzman Health System, Inc. (MWHS) in Middletown, CT. The purpose of this 4-year project is to improve the capacity of primary care providers and behavioral health professionals in Federally Qualified Health Centers and other safety net settings to apply best practices in the prevention, screening, and treatment of alcohol use disorders...

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $399,048 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to examine behavioral and electrophysiological cue reactivity in young adult binge drinkers. The study will compare responses to uni- and multisensory alcohol and neutral cues that vary in degree of realistic appearance, and explore the effects of multisensory congruence on cue responses. The project aims to improve understanding of multisensory processing of alcohol cues and inform potential interventions for problematic alcohol use. This 3-year study, which commenced on Sep 17, 2024, provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to gain research experience on a project with public health relevance.
