This federal 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 $207,307 to the University of Utah to conduct research on alcohol tolerance and its impact on alcohol self-administration. The research aims to analyze how initial alcohol resistance and the development of tolerance affect experience-dependent alcohol preference, with a specific focus on understanding the...
This $458,452 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) supports research to investigate the interrelationship between sleep and substance use disorders. The key objectives are to: Determine the mechanisms underlying psychostimulant-induced sleep changes, including anatomical and genetic investigations, using the Drosophila melanogaster model. Screen Drosophila orthologs of 2,094 human brain-enriched...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $517,248.00, was issued by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) grant program. The award supports research to explore the mechanisms by which acute and chronic alcohol exposure regulate a norepinephrine-astrocyte-dopamine arousal pathway in the ventral periaqueductal gray (VPAG) region of the brain, and how this pathway contributes to alcohol-related changes in sleep behavior....
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs) provides $431,918 in funding to Bryant University for a research project focused on understanding the neural circuitry mechanisms underlying maladaptive reward memories related to alcohol addiction. The research aims to use the genetic tractability of the Drosophila melanogaster model organism to investigate how alcohol disrupts memory circuit activity and drives...
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...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) grant, provides $574,808 to support a research project titled "Translational Genetic Analysis in Human and Mouse GWAS to Identify the Genomic Architecture of Alcohol Sensitivity and Tolerance." The primary awardee is Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University Indianapolis. The project aims to identify genetic...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $404,508.00 was provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program. The award aims to examine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) synaptic regulation and its role in cognitive impairment during early withdrawal and protracted abstinence from chronic alcohol exposure in male and female mice. The overarching goal is to determine the neuroimmune mechanisms by which chronic...
This federal 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 of novel 3D human brain circuits to investigate the role of microglia in alcohol use disorder (AUD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. The $223,531 award to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will fund research to elucidate how alcohol-induced changes in microglial metabolism...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) program, provides $499,442 in funding to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) from August 20, 2024 through July 31, 2027. The award supports research to investigate the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling in the ventral hippocampus and its contribution to the acute anxiolytic and social...
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 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, is focused on determining the relationship between rapid ethanol tolerance and sleep regulation in Drosophila (fruit fly) models. The $215,159 award, spanning September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will support three key experiments: 1) mapping rapid ethanol tolerance in sleep circuitry, 2) investigating the labile and consolidated memory-like states of rapid ethanol tolerance and their association with conserved tolerance genes in the sleep circuitry, and 3) surveying the function of known sleep genes in rapid ethanol tolerance. The expected outcome is a genetic and circuit-level understanding of the connection between rapid ethanol tolerance and sleep regulation in Drosophila, which could provide insights into the relationship between alcohol addiction and sleep disturbances in humans.
