The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with its French counterpart, Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale (National Institute of Health and Medical Research), also known as Inserm.

Signed Nov. 14, 2023, at the Embassy of France in Washington, D.C., the LOI states that NIAAA and Inserm “intend to explore and develop mutually beneficial forms of technical cooperation” in support of research on the adverse effects of alcohol on health and well-being.
