Description
The National Institutes of Health plans to renew the NIAAA Integrative Neuroscience Initiative on Alcoholism (INIA) to support two collaborative research consortia studying brain-body homeostatic dysregulation related to excessive alcohol drinking and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The initiative encourages hypothesis-centered research on alcohol interactions and focuses on trajectories from initial exposure to pathological drinking to identify markers and mechanisms for prevention and intervention. The renewal will support two multisite consortia through cooperative agreements, including administrative and resource cores and individual research projects. Applications are not currently being solicited; this notice is to allow potential applicants time to prepare.
