# A Novel Human Laboratory Model for Screening Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
This administrative supplement application is intended to support the timely and full completion of the
proposed study and to offset delays caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. As detailed in the application,
we have dealt with a host of COVID-19 related delays, while also maintaining the laboratory open and
conducting ongoing recruitment to the maximum degree allowed by the UCLA COVID-19 Response and
Recovery Task Force. In this administrative supplement, we carefully justify the request for additional
resources to effectively complete the original project and mitigate COVID-19 delays in recruitment.
Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic our team has been resilient and hard-working. We
have maintained recruitment efforts to the best of our ability and completed 19 randomizations during a
full year of COVID-19 disruption. Further, we have kept the protocol integrity and have conducted daily
telephone and zoom-based sessions, which enable close contact between participants and study staff.
This allowed us to stay consistent with regard to the proposed protocol, provide careful medication
management, verify medication compliance, and obtain all necessary clinical safety labs at the
beginning of study participation. This administrative supplement will provide much-needed support a
high-fidelity protocol that has been kept intact and operational despite substantial challenges associated
with the pandemic.
