This $145,642 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) grant program, will fund a study examining alcohol-induced blackouts among college students. The study aims to use transdermal alcohol concentration (TAC) sensors to gain a better understanding of the psychosocial, behavioral, and biological factors associated with the occurrence of alcohol-induced blackouts. Key research...
This Project Grant award of $1,227,554.00 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will fund a prospective examination of transdermal alcohol concentration (TAC) features as predictors of alcohol-related consequences and alcohol use disorders (AUDs) among 500 young adults. The research aims to: 1) examine TAC features as predictors of alcohol-related consequences, relative to ecological momentary assessment (EMA)...
This Project Grant award of $105,057 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will fund a prospective study on smartwatch-based predictors of binge drinking onset in first-year college students. The study aims to utilize passive sensing via smartwatches to examine physical activity, sleep, and heart rate variability as potential biopsychosocial risk factors for binge drinking and alcohol use disorder onset during the...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $1,373,036 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Yale University. The overarching goal of this 5-year research project (Sep 2024 - Aug 2029) is to enhance the understanding and prediction of heavy drinking episodes during initial recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD). The project aims to leverage wearable biosensor technology and artificial intelligence to develop real-time predictive...
This Project Grant award, valued at $206,021, 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 will support a mentored research study led by Dr. Matison McCool at the University of New Mexico's Center on Alcohol, Substance Use, and Addictions (CASAA). The study aims to develop Dr. McCool's expertise in mindfulness-based interventions, heart rate variability (HRV), advanced...
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 federal Project Grant award of $710,992, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), supports a longitudinal study to understand the trajectory, mechanisms, and impacts of changes in emotion processing deficits during early alcohol use disorder (AUD) recovery. The University of Florida, the primary awardee, will recruit recently abstinent individuals in residential AUD treatment and a matched community control...
This $166,059 Project Grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will fund research at Carnegie Mellon University to study the prevalence, developmental trajectories, and risk/protective factors associated with solitary alcohol use among young adults in the United States. The research aims to: 1) Estimate the prevalence of solitary alcohol use among 18-30 year olds over time, 2) Model developmental patterns of...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) federal grant program, aims to investigate the neural mechanisms driving adaptive stress coping behaviors and subsequent alcohol use. The $498,121.57 award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2027, will utilize an animal model to explore how dysfunction in the corticolimbic circuitry, specifically the prelimbic cortex and basolateral...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Illinois. The $293,128 grant, awarded on August 23, 2024, will fund a study examining the neural correlates of alcohol reward in social contexts using a hyperscanning EEG setup. The research aims to evaluate the neural mechanisms underlying the rewarding effects of alcohol in social settings and assess how individual and group-level factors...
