Major Initiatives
NIAAA’s major initiatives seek to address alcohol-related issues across the lifespan.
Our aim is to reduce the tremendous burden of illness resulting from the misuse of alcohol by:
- Preventing children and adolescents from beginning and continuing to drink alcohol
- Offering effective intervention for problem alcohol use at all ages
To accomplish this, we support research in areas ranging from basic science to clinical studies and from genetics to neuroscience to epidemiology.
Major Initiatives we support include:
- Medications Development
- Underage and College Drinking Program
- Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Program
- Combined Pharmacotherapies and Behavioral Intervention (COMBINE) Study, the largest alcohol medications trial ever conducted
- Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA) Study, a large-scale family study designed to identify genes that affect the risk for alcohol dependence and alcohol-related behaviors.
- NIAAA-Funded Research Centers
