The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a Project Grant of $453,942 to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, with an award date of June 20, 2026 and ultimate completion date of May 31, 2029. This research initiative, titled "Anxious, Alone, and Thirsty for a Drink: Attachment Anxiety Moderates the Impact of Social Rejection on Alcohol Use," supports fundamental research into the psychological and behavioral mechanisms underlying alcohol use disorder (AUD). The project addresses a critical public health gap by investigating how social rejection influences in-the-moment alcohol consumption and identifying vulnerability factors—specifically anxious attachment—that may exacerbate this relationship. This work falls under the NIAAA's Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), which funds research across biomedical, genetic, psychological, environmental, and behavioral factors related to alcohol abuse and alcoholism prevention and treatment. The funded research will include at least two studies examining the nexus between social rejection and drinking behavior. Study 1 comprises an ecologically valid, longitudinal daily diary investigation involving 188 young adults aged 21–25, designed to examine how day-to-day fluctuations in social experiences relate to alcohol consumption patterns. By establishing this empirical foundation regarding rejection-induced drinking and the moderating role of attachment anxiety, the research will generate evidence applicable to the development of more targeted prevention and treatment strategies for individuals at elevated risk of alcohol-related problems, directly supporting NIAAA's mission to develop improved methods of treatment and prevention.Federal Grant Award Summary
