This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to develop methods for integrating large-scale electron microscopy (EM) brain imaging data with functional and behavioral recordings. The $1,100,864 project, spanning from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2027, will focus on relating the structure and function of neural circuits in the Drosophila brain. The proposed research seeks to...
This federal Project Grant award of $800,617 was provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The award supports the development and validation of neuromarkers - measurable, brain-based indicators of pathophysiology, risk, and resilience related to substance use disorders (SUDs). Specifically, the project aims to create a cross-validated neuromarker for drug craving, a core feature of SUDs, that can predict drug use and...

The $979,134 award, with a project period from August 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027, will support research aims focused on: 1) using the Manifold Capacity Theory framework to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under CFDA Program 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs, provides $162,672 in funding to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct a study on the role of dopamine projections to the amygdala in goal-directed and habit learning. The research aims to use in vivo fiber photometry imaging and optogenetic manipulation techniques to characterize the function of the ventral tegmental area...
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded this $330,027 Project Grant under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to Michigan State University (MSU). The 2-year grant, with a start date of February 1, 2025, aims to develop a computational-experimental framework to construct multiscale models connecting neural, behavioral, and social dynamics of naturalistic social interaction in ferrets. The project will leverage...

This $265,302 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 neural mechanisms underlying opioid use disorder (OUD) and relapse risk during abstinence. The funded project will map the functional and anatomical pathways between the anterior and posterior paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) and the nucleus accumbens (NAc), which have been implicated in the...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $1,080,885 to the University of Southern California (USC) from September 2024 to September 2027.

The funding supports the development of novel neural network models that can capture the nonlinear dynamics of large-scale brain networks and their relationship to behavior. The models will have flexible inference capabilities, enabling real-time, non-causal, and missing data inference, as well as closed-loop control of latent neural factors and behavior. The project aims to create models that can account for multiscale neural dynamics, dissociate behaviorally relevant from irrelevant dynamics, and disentangle input-driven from intrinsic neural dynamics. USC will validate the models on diverse datasets including primate and human neurophysiology and behavior. The project includes a sub-award to the University of Pennsylvania to contribute to this research.
