This $510,412.27 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will support research to investigate the role of the gut microbiota in alcohol seeking and reward-related decision-making. The award, with a performance period from September 2024 to August 2027, will enable researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore to use operant conditioning approaches in mouse models to dissect the impact...
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, provides $131,654 to Biomedit LLC to develop a Lactobacillus-vectored drug delivery technology (LactoDDT) to mitigate alcohol-induced leaky gut and reduce lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin levels in the gut. The key objectives are to: 1) Generate engineered live biotherapeutic products (ELBPs) that can deliver a proprietary...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $498,080 Project Grant (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) to the University of California, San Diego to conduct a Phase 1, open-label safety and feasibility study of capsule-based fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in subjects with auto-brewery syndrome (ABS). The primary clinical outcomes are safety and feasibility, with secondary and exploratory endpoints including clinical outcomes, monitoring of ethanol...
This $194,400 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 research on the effects of adolescent alcohol use on the oral microbiome and brain. The awardee, the Medical University of South Carolina, will recruit 126 adolescents (ages 14-18) with varying levels of alcohol use to collect salivary samples to assess the oral microbiome, with a focus on the Lactobacillus...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the federal Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), provides $698,356 to Brown University to study the relationship between alcohol-associated gut dysbiosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in people with HIV. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize alcohol-associated gut dysbiosis using whole genome sequencing of fecal samples; 2) examine how gut microbiome changes at the...
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...
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, supports research into the neuroepigenetic mechanisms underlying the transgenerational behavioral effects of alcohol exposure. The primary objectives are to: 1) Identify the neuronal epigenetic changes, particularly histone acetylation patterns, that accompany ethanol exposure, and 2) Determine the role of neuronal histone...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $537,587 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to conduct research on the metabolic consequences of liver inflammation on alcohol consumption and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD).
