This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), aims to investigate the role of alcohol metabolism and HIV infection in driving lung and liver multimorbidity through inter-organ crosstalk mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs). The total funding amount is $148,449.00, with the award period spanning from September 17, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The principal investigator (PI) will conduct the...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $1,547,718 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. (KUMCRI) from September 1, 2024 to May 31, 2029. The project will investigate the role of KDM5 demethylases in regulating cell-cell communication in the development and resolution of alcohol-associated liver disease. Specifically, the research aims to determine how KDM5B and KDM5C...
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). The key objectives are to identify the mechanisms by which the transcription factor IRF3 suppresses the expression and secretion of the metabolic regulator...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under its Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), awarded a $640,010 Project Grant to Vanderbilt University to conduct a 5-year study on the perceived norms around alcohol use and HIV/STI prevention among adolescents and young adults in rural Uganda. The study aims to: 1) use qualitative methods to explore perceived norms around alcohol, HIV/STI transmission risk, and HIV/STI prevention; 2) estimate the causal effects of...

The project involves two studies: (1) a laboratory experiment examining acute alcohol use and partner sexual...
This federal Project Grant award of $380,863 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), supports research on the role of specific hepatic stellate cell subsets in the progression of alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH). The project aims to determine how the genes CYP1B1, PRRX1, and NR4A2 regulate the development and function of a novel FBLN2+ activated hepatic stellate cell (AHSC) subset in AH. Planned activities include...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $438,375 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to establish a human liver-on-a-chip model for studying alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The 2-year project, starting September 2023, aims to investigate the roles of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and acetaldehyde metabolism in regulating ethanol-induced liver damage as well as the contribution of fibrotic...
