The National Institutes of Health is offering a grant to fund research on molecular and cellular targets affected by low doses of alcohol (10 mM and below) in the brain. This grant aims to address the gaps in understanding how the brain responds to low levels of alcohol and identify the specific molecular targets involved. Researchers are encouraged to investigate alcohol’s effects at the molecular, cellular, and circuit levels to advance knowledge in this area. The closing date for applications is April 21, 2016.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits research grant applications that define molecular and cellular targets mediating alcohol effects at concentrations of 10 mM and below. It has been well established that alcohol at relatively high concentrations modulate a variety of receptors and ion channels, intracellular signaling cascades, and gene expression in the brain. Significant knowledge gaps, however, remain in understanding how the brain responds to low doses of alcohol and what molecular targets mediate alcohol action at concentrations below 10 mM. The purpose of this FOA is to support research efforts to identify targets mediating effects of low-dose alcohol at molecular, cellular, and circuit levels. |
