Dr. Abraham Palmer’s NIDA RO1 Supplement Award Funded!

Dr. Abraham Palmer's NIDA R01 Supplement titled, "Administrative Supplement for Research on Sex/Gender Differences," was funded!

The NIH Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) offers administrative supplements to accelerate research on sex/gender differences (or similarities) and/or sex and gender factors in human health and illness, including preclinical, clinical and behavioral studies.

We plan to map sex-specific QTLs and brain eQTLs. The main traits of interest are methamphetamine-conditioned place preference and the locomotor response to methamphetamine, but we'll also look at sex effects in the prepulse inhibition, glucose and body weight data.
