# INIA Stress and Chronic Alcohol Interactions: Administrative Core

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
The consortium Integrative Neuroscience Initiative on Alcoholism: Stress and Chronic Alcohol Interactions
(a.k.a. INIAstress) is a collection of highly integrative and innovative projects and cores. The overarching
goal of INIAstress is elucidating the changes in brain circuitry and mechanisms that underlie how chronic
alcohol alters response to stress, which in turn can facilitate the transition from moderate/social drinking to
heavy/hazardous drinking and associated problems. Through this characterization we have helped to
define factors that contribute to an individual's risk for the development of alcoholism, revealed underlying
mechanisms and conditions that promote excessive and harmful drinking, and forged progress towards
discovering novel, more effective, and tailored treatment strategies. We continue our cross-species
translational investigation and we will integrate this information to provide novel and valuable insights into
diagnostic, prevention, and individualized treatment options for those suffering with alcohol use disorder
(AUD) as well as co-morbidity with stress-related disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorders.
Collectively, these collaborative studies directly integrate behavioral, endocrine, neural, and genetic data
from animal models to humans within a scope of expertise and thematic inquiry that would not be possible
using more traditional grant mechanisms. As the lead application, the Administrative Resource Core will
provide scientific leadership on the consortium's main goals and serve as a centralized administrative
structure to facilitate and coordinate the overall management, direction and integration of research
activities within the INIAstress Consortium.
