ABMRF/The Foundation for Alcohol Research grantees are assembling an impressive collection of publications that detail alcohol research advances made possible by Foundation grants.  To date over 2,000 papers have been published since our first alcohol research grants were awarded in 1982.  Behind each of the following publications and presentations is a compelling story of long hours and dedication as our grantees contribute important pieces to the growing collection of knowledge that enables a better understanding of the effects of alcohol on health and behavior.
