#CSHRB study says substantial co-use of cannabis & alcohol suggests need for education regarding risks of co-use, particularly for young adults below age 21 & supports prevention and regulatory approaches addressing shared risk factors & interplay of these two substances bit.ly/4bK0c1E

I'm looking for a postdoc to work on our NIH-funded R01 which is a longitudinal cohort of adolescents (13-20) doing EMA and passive text sensing! Please apply, especially if you have experience in the analysis OR collection of these data.

CONGRATS!!! I’m happy both our NIAAA grants came through!!

Thank you my dear!!!

Wow. That is absolute madness indeed, and so frustrating to wait given such an amazing score. It’s hard to plan and function, right? Fingers and toes crossed for you!!

We submitted this grant 4 times (original sub 2/2022) and had amazing reviewer feedback each time. 🙌

Extra grateful to receive an NIAAA R21 award today. My former labmate/grad school BFF (Amy Stamates) and I will use EMA to examine impulsivity/craving and alcohol when co-used with cannabis and/or nicotine among young adults.

As many are waiting on NIAAA awards, I thought I'd share some history:

Great news, congrats! Is it pre-doc & post-doc? (Thinking ahead for some students!)

Come join our team as a postdoc to collaborate on this new NIH research study focused on supporting youth in foster care! Position info in @schweercollins.bsky.social posting below!

Excited to share my new paper out in @addictionjournal.bsky.social 🎉

We analyzed data from 8 million+ primary care alcohol screenings to examine impacts of adult cannabis legalization (ACL) on alcohol use in California's largest healthcare system across four NIAAA-defined drinking limits. 🧵👇 1/n

NIAAA is starting to concern me I did a RePORTER search for any grants with Award Notices issued by NIAAA from 7/1/2025 onward, just to see if they were shut down completely. No, there are 39 awards including two R00 conversions …

Are they playing for a major budget reduction in the next Fiscal Year?

It's gotta be Damon. Or Carol.
Miss you all!

WOOHOO!!!! Congrats!!!!

National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) As an Institute within NIH, NIDDK conducts and supports research on many of the most common, costly, and chronic conditions to improve health.

Ugh. I was worried it was only NIAAA but I think this is happening across multiple institutes - for example, NIDDK’s website has the same banner: www.niddk.nih.gov.

NIH Grants Fueled $95 Billion In FY 2024 Economic Activity, Finds New Report National Institutes of Health grants generated almost $95 billion in economic activity nationwide in FY 2024 according to a new report by United for Medical Research.

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.

That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.

Show me a better investment than that.

We need to organize--let’s help each other.

NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond.

I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations.

Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!

Amazing! What institute?

In case it's relevant for any #addictionsci friends - NIAAA's AA-2 study section met on 2/25 as planned and IPTA is now showing that it was rescheduled for 4/23/25 (original date of 2/20/25). I haven't been notified by any of this via email; just diligent eRA commons checking!

2025 Study section tracking

Wondering if your study section cancelled? I update this sheet daily. As of today, 56/124 study sections that should have met since Jan 2, 2025 have "not met as scheduled." docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

If an NIH grant you've worked hard on for years finally gets a great score, but NIH funding is frozen and being massively restructured, does it still make a sound?

The University of Oregon/Dept of Counseling Psychology & Human Services (my dept) is hiring!

To understand the devastation for U.S. science right now. Here is how NIH grants work: somebody comes up with a research idea, like a tree sapling NIH invests in the “direct cost” of that idea, aka buys the sapling Let’s say that sapling is $100

A visualization I created to share with family and friends about how the NIH indirect rate costs will hurt science AND our economy.

Congratulations on getting this submitted. It’s such a fabulous project and you are a rockstar. Fingers crossed for you ❤️
