Active Projects

Project LEAP
Funding: K01 AA029399-01 – National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
Dates: 09/01/2022-08/31/2027
Role: PI
Project Overview: Young adult drinkers with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), compared to their non-ADHD peers, are at increased risk for experiencing alcohol-related problems and developing alcohol use disorder (AUD). The proposed project assesses individuals both in the laboratory and in their own natural environment to study associations between executive functioning, craving, and alcohol-related behaviors over a one-year period to inform etiological models underlying ADHD and AUD.


Project ARC
Funding: Medical Research Grant, Rhode Island Foundation
PI: Amy L. Stamates, Ph.D.
Project Overview: The proposed study will address critical gaps by testing the associations between cognitive and behavioral domains of impulsivity and sensitivity to alcohol using an innovative, multi-method approach.


Project SUB – cross-sectional survey
Project Overview: We are collecting data from college students in Rhode Island on personality characteristics, ADHD symptoms, substance use, and other health behaviors. Data collection is currently underway.
