Organization of the INIA

This INIA contains sixteen research components including twelve full-fledged U01 applications and four exploratory/developmental U01 applications. The research components focus on stress-alcohol interactions and excessive drinking from the molecular to the behavioral level in rodent and primate models. The research components are supported by four service core components that are essential to the well-ordered performance of the research.
