Alcohol Research Programs – Research Centers

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) supports a broad-based Alcohol Research Centers program to foster and conduct interdisciplinary, collaborative research on Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), alcohol misuse and alcohol-related problems, and other health-related consequences across the lifespan. The NIAAA Centers Program provides leadership in research, and research methodology development on a wide variety of topics relevant to the Institute’s mission. Topics include but are not limited to, the nature, etiology, genetics, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of AUD, alcohol-related end-organ diseases, and their biomedical, psychosocial, and economic consequences across the lifespan and minority health and other NIH-designated populations that experience health disparities. Centers are also major contributors to the development of research methods, technologies, and approaches that sustain innovative goal-directed research
