- This $199,167 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research to develop a data-driven model of imperfect immunity against COVID-19. The University of Southern California will receive funding to build upon data on COVID-19 reinfections and vaccine breakthroughs to better understand how imperfect protection affects SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics and the long-term risks of resurgence. The project directly supports the NSF's Biological...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research awarded a $402,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) from October 2023 to September 2026. The grant falls under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which seeks to promote advancements in science and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Through this grant, UCLA will analyze all proteins in coronavirus using X-ray and immune activation experiments to better understand the factors that make some coronaviruses highly infectious and capable of triggering dangerous immune responses. The research aims to examine why the Omicron variant of COVID-19 is less toxic to hosts. The project will also provide research internships through undergraduate and veteran outreach programs, and the findings will be incorporated into UCLA's advanced academic courses.
