National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Grant: Investigating In Utero Alcohol Exposure Effects on Adult Health and Disease

This grant offered by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism aims to fund research exploring the relationship between prenatal alcohol exposure and the development of chronic diseases in adulthood. The focus is on understanding the developmental origins of health and disease and identifying biomarkers that could predict disease susceptibility in individuals exposed to alcohol in utero. Researchers are encouraged to utilize existing birth cohorts to study maternal alcohol consumption’s impact on long-term health outcomes and investigate the biological mechanisms underlying this connection. Applications for this grant should contribute to uncovering the fetal origins of adult diseases influenced by maternal alcohol use.

Description::	This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), is intended to support novel research on how prenatal alcohol exposure may contribute to the etiology of chronic diseases and health conditions later in life. Central to this theme is the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) concept which suggests that fetal adaptations in response to adverse intrauterine conditions may increase the risk for childhood and adulthood disease. The goal of this FOA is to stimulate a broad range of research to: 1) leverage existing prospective birth cohorts to define the role of maternal alcohol consumption in the DOHaD process; 2) investigate the biological, cellular, and molecular mechanisms by which prenatal alcohol exposure may impact disease outcomes later in life; and 3) identify biomarkers associated with gestational alcohol exposure that may predict adult disease susceptibility in exposed offspring. Studies supported by this FOA will provide fundamental insights into a possible fetal-basis to adult disease that is influenced by maternal alcohol use.
