Mechanisms of Behavior Change in the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders

National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) invites applications that propose to investigate the underlying mechanisms that facilitate behavior change within our current empirically-supported behavioral treatments for alcohol use disorders.  A further goal of this FOA is to enhance translational research efforts by identifying potential neurobiological or cognitive processes that may act as potential mechanisms of therapeutic change or mediate the direct link between specific active ingredients and alcohol use treatment outcomes.
