CURRENT GRANTS

• 2021 - present, Contingency Management Using Deposit Contract to Reduce Drinking (R01 AA014988; PI: Donald M. Dougherty, Ph.D.). Role: Principal Investigator of Subcontract. This project explores whether our contingency management protocols can be translated into a user-funded procedure by using deposit contracts.
• 2022 - present, Pilot Project for Improving Remote Breathalyzer Procedures (R01 AA014988; PIs: Donald M. Dougherty, Ph.D. & Nathalie Hill-Kapturczak, Ph.D.). Role: Co-InvestigatorThis project evaluates breathalyzers, examining the possibility of off-cycle drinking (between bedtime and the next morning) and determining if the measurement of an alcohol biomarker (phosphatidylethanol) can identify individuals engaging in patterns of alcohol use to avoid detection.
• 2021 - present, Competitive Revision to: Leveraging Transdermal Alcohol Monitoring to Reduce Drinking Among DWI Defendants (3R01 AA014988-15-S1; PIs: Nathalie Hill-Kapturczak, Ph.D. & Donald M. Dougherty, Ph.D.). Role: Co-investigatorThis project identifies the clinical utility of a new alcohol biomarker (i.e., phosphatidylethanol) and determines how it can be used to confirm abstinence and better identify patterns of drinking.2020 – present, Consequences of Substance Use on The Development of Impulse Control (R01 DA026868; PI: John D. Roache, Ph.D.). Role: Co-investigatorThis study examines how preadolescent impulse control and sensation-seeking predict substance use involvement and how substance use involvement alters the development of adolescent impulse control.
• 2020 - present, Leveraging Transdermal Alcohol Monitoring to Reduce Drinking Among DWI Defendants (R01 AA014988; PI: Donald M. Dougherty, Ph.D.). Role: Co-investigatorThe study examines the efficacy of interventions aimed at reducing heavy drinking among the unique population of risky drinkers. The proposed study provides fundamental information on underlying cognitive-behavioral mechanisms related to the ability to reduce alcohol use, which can be used to develop more cost-effective methods to prevent DWI within the criminal justice system.
