The NIH is offering a grant to conduct mechanistic studies exploring the relationship between excessive alcohol drinking, alcohol dependence, and pain. This grant aims to investigate the genetic, pharmacological, and learning mechanisms underlying the association between alcohol use patterns and pain responses, with a focus on how chronic pain states may influence alcohol dependence and addiction. Research proposals should address the impact of chronic pain conditions on alcohol abuse and dependence, as well as the potential exacerbation of pain symptoms by long-term alcohol intoxication. Closing date for applications is January 7, 2018.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications that propose to conduct mechanistic studies on the relationship between excessive alcohol drinking, alcohol dependence and pain. An association between chronic pain conditions and alcohol dependence has been revealed in numerous studies with episodes of alcohol abuse antedating chronic pain in some people and alcohol dependence emerging after the onset of chronic pain in others. Pain transmission and alcohols reinforcing effects share overlapping neural substrates giving rise to the possibility that chronic pain states significantly affect alcohol use patterns and promote the development of dependence and addiction. In addition, long term alcohol intoxication and alcohol dependence induce pain symptoms and may exacerbate chronic pain arising from other sources. The objective of this FOA is to understand genetic, pharmacological and learning mechanisms underlying the association between the propensity to drink excessively alcohol and pain responses. |
