- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded the University of Pittsburgh a Project Grant of $700,134 on June 15, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to conduct a longitudinal study tracking the development of alcohol tolerance from the onset of regular drinking through February 28, 2031. The research will recruit 300 low-risk drinking individuals aged 18-19 years who are oversampled for problematic alcohol use risk...
- Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $451,578 Project Grant to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) on September 20, 2025, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to conduct a two-phase cross-sectional study examining risky drinking typologies among college students through August 31, 2027. The research applies the Integrated Behavioral Model to understand the behavioral drivers and epidemiology of novel high-intensity...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded $248,770 under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on September 25, 2025, for a project period extending through August 31, 2028. This K99/R00 career development award supports research examining emotion regulation strategy use as a transdiagnostic treatment mechanism in an outpatient program for adolescents with co-occurring...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded $628,080 in Project Grant funding to the University of Pittsburgh on May 1, 2026, under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to conduct a five-year neuroimaging study examining the relationship between the nociceptin opioid peptide (NOP) receptor system and relapse risk in individuals with heavy-drinking alcohol use disorder (AUD). The research employs positron emission tomography (PET)...
- Project Grant Award Summary: Dimensions of Emotion Regulation in PTSD-Related Drinking Risk The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $453,085 Project Grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on September 20, 2025, to conduct a proof-of-concept study examining emotion regulation (ER) dimensions in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-related drinking risk. The research addresses a critical knowledge gap by investigating both intentional...
REINFORCEMENT AS A PROSPECTIVE PREDICTOR OF REAL-TIME ALCOHOL ABUSE FOLLOWING BARIATRIC SURGERY - ABSTRACT RECENT RESEARCH HAS CLEARLY SHOWN THAT WHEN COMPARED TO BEFORE SURGERY, POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY PATIENTS ARE AT INCREASED RISK FOR ALCOHOL USE DISORDERS AND INCREASED ALCOHOL INTAKE. UNDERSTANDING THE MECHANISMS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THESE NEGATIVE CLINICAL OUTCOMES IS OF CONSIDERABLE SCIENTIFIC AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE. IN THE PRESENT STUDY, WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE THE EXTENT TO WHICH CHANGES IN THE REINFORCEMENT OF ALCOHOL LEAD TO INCREASED ALCOHOL INTAKE IN POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY PATIENTS. WE WILL EMPLOY MOMENTARY NATURALISTIC ASSESSMENT, OBJECTIVE CONTINUOUS ALCOHOL MEASUREMENT, AND LABORATORY METHODOLOGY TO CAREFULLY ASSESS REINFORCEMENT USING AN EMPIRICALLY SUPPORTED BEHAVIOR ECONOMICS-BASED MEASURE. ADDITIONALLY, THIS STUDY IS DESIGNED AS A PROSPECTIVE, LONGITUDINAL INVESTIGATION THAT WILL FOLLOW BARIATRIC SURGERY PATIENTS FROM ONE YEAR TO TWO YEARS AFTER SURGERY.
