NIAAA-Funded Alcohol Research Centers

Alcohol Research Centers have been established nationwide through the Alcohol Research Centers Program of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). The Alcohol Research Centers Program is interrelated with and complementary to all other research support mechanisms and scientific activities that investigate the causes, diagnosis, treatment, control, prevention, and consequences of alcohol abuse and alcoholism.

The Alcohol Research Centers provides long-term (i.e., typically 5 years) support for interdisciplinary research that focuses on particular aspects of alcohol abuse, alcoholism, or other alcohol-related problems. This program encourages outstanding scientists from many disciplines to provide a full range of expertise, approaches, and advanced technologies for developing knowledge in these areas. A primary goal of the NIAAA-funded Center is to become, through excellence in scientific research, a significant regional or national research resource. In addition, each Center affords research training opportunities for persons from various disciplines and professions. These Alcohol Research Centers are listed below along with the names of their respective Center Directors and locations.
