Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), encourages Research Project Grant (R01) applications proposing to conduct mechanistic studies on the relationships between sleep problems and alcohol dependence. A major impediment for recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD) is the persistent sleep problems during abstinence promoting relapse. The objective of this FOA is to promote research in animal models and human subjects on the reciprocal relationships between chronic alcohol use and sleep disruptions. The major goal is to understand the underlying mechanisms that will lead to improved treatments for alcohol dependence. NIAAA strongly encourages collaborative efforts between experts in sleep research and established alcohol investigators to facilitate the development of proposals incorporating both areas of research.
