This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) aims to characterize the burden, severity, and phenotypic presentation of post-tuberculosis (TB) lung disease (PTLD) and its association with interleukin-6 (IL-6) signaling pathways in TB patients with and without HIV. The total funding amount is $743,698.00 over the award period from Sep 20, 2024 to Aug 31, 2029. The grant will leverage an...
This Project Grant award of $1,011,348 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to understand how interactions between Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.TB) and the human alveolar environment, particularly in people living with HIV, impact the early stages of TB infection. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine how M.TB exposure to alveolar lining fluid from people living with...
This $246,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research supports research to investigate the role of lung repair and regeneration pathways in tuberculosis (TB). The award aims to determine the functional role of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway in TB control and reactivation, as well as characterize the cellular mechanisms of BMP pathway activation during TB...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), aims to investigate the sirtuin-dependent regulation of tuberculosis (TB) and HIV interactions in macrophages. The total award amount is $1,297,775.00 over a 5-year period from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2029.

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), aims to identify and adapt an intervention to address common mental disorders (CMDs) among people being treated for tuberculosis (TB) in Uganda. The total award amount is $134,811 over a 5-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029. The key objectives are to: 1) examine the relationship between CMDs and TB...
This Project Grant award, totaling $559,341, was provided by the Fogarty International Center (FIC), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, under the International Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.989). The award supports research to improve detection and treatment of tuberculosis (TB) in children under five years old in Malawi. Specifically, the project will: Evaluate the accuracy of new non-invasive TB diagnostic strategies...
This federal Project Grant award of $787,171 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) aims to develop novel 1,2,4-triazole and pyrrolidine compounds as potential treatments for tuberculosis (TB). The primary objectives are to demonstrate preclinical proof-of-concept for these compound classes, optimize their pharmacological properties, and investigate their unique mechanism of action compared...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $193,316 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Boston Medical Center Corporation (BMC) on August 20, 2024. The award will fund a 5-year research project titled "The Relationship Between HIV Exposure, Contact Networks, and TB in Children Under 5 Years Old."

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports a $201,549 study on metabolic syndrome outcomes among tuberculosis (TB) patients in Tanzania. The primary objectives are to: 1) Measure and characterize metabolic markers and TB severity at TB diagnosis, testing the hypothesis that metabolic syndrome is associated with more severe TB; and 2) Measure metabolic outcomes at the completion of TB treatment and identify risk factors for different metabolic outcomes. The study will leverage an ongoing TB patient cohort in Tanzania. A sub-award of unspecified amount will support the participation of the Kibong'Oto Infectious Diseases Hospital in Tanzania, which will oversee administrative and on-site supervision of the research activities. The project period is from December 10, 2024 to November 30, 2029.
