This opportunity aims to renew the NIAAA Integrative Neuroscience Initiative on Alcoholism (INIA) by supporting two collaborative research consortia to study brain-body homeostatic dysregulation promoting excessive alcohol consumption and related Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) phenotypes. The focus is on understanding trajectories from initial alcohol exposure to pathological drinking, identifying translatable markers and mechanisms for prevention and intervention to reduce the chronic conditions tied to alcohol misuse, including AUD. The initiative encourages the use of advanced neurotechnologies from sources such as the BRAIN Initiative, examining brain structure and function at various spatial and temporal scales, and identifying peripheral influences on brain function associated with excessive drinking. Efforts to promote rigor, reproducibility, and integration include standardized neurofunctional measures, replication across sites, and collaboration in multisite consortia.
