This Project Grant award of $416,165 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to investigate blood fitness genes in the tsetse fly symbiont Sodalis glossinidius. The central hypothesis is that S. glossinidius requires specific genes to access nutrients and survive within the blood-rich tsetse fly gut environment. The research goals are to screen S. glossinidius transposon libraries for candidate...

Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded the University of Wisconsin-Madison a $729,189 Project Grant on February 10, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to conduct research on the pathophysiology of severe yellow fever. The project, which extends through January 31, 2031, focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying yellow fever virus (YFV) attenuation and pathogenesis. The...

Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded George Washington University a $444,125 Project Grant (CFDA 93.855 – Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) effective February 3, 2026, through January 31, 2028, to conduct research on the genetic determinants of host immunity-mediated resistance to helminth infection. The project leverages a panel of genetically diverse Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse strains to identify and...

This federal Project Grant award of $146,922 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to define the factors that modulate the efficiency of influenza A virus (IAV) infection in a recipient host. The research team from Emory University will conduct intranasal and aerosol inoculations in guinea pigs to model direct and airborne transmission, using barcoded libraries of...

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), through the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) program, has awarded a $112,943 project grant to the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) in Nigeria. The grant, effective August 2024 through January 2026, aims to build research administration capabilities and develop electronic grant management systems at JUTH and its partner institutions in West Africa. Specifically, the project will train new and junior...

The federal Project Grant award of $249,000 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Program, supports research on the host response to Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) infection. The primary objectives are to elucidate the mechanisms by which HDV pathogenesis occurs, with a focus on the role of the pattern recognition receptor MDA5 in recognizing HDV infection and the subsequent activation of antiviral genes. The...

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $360,000 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to develop a gerbil model to delineate the mechanism of Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) extrahepatic pathogenesis. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the effect of HEV-3-induced pyroptosis in neurovascular unit (NVU) cells and identify the mechanisms of...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a postdoctoral research fellowship exploring the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes. The fellowship will fund integrative research from November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2026 investigating how genetics, environments, and microbiomes contribute to emergent host phenotypes in green frog tadpoles. Specifically, the fellow...
