Project Grant K23AI191960
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855), awarded a $490,093 Project Grant to the University of Maryland, College Park on April 10, 2025. The funding supports the development of a rapid, inexpensive microfluidic technology to isolate bacteria directly from whole blood, identify pathogens, and evaluate their antibiotic response within 75 minutes. This will enable clinicians to move...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $404,060 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to evaluate whether mobile optical coherence tomography (OCT) and smartphone fundoscopy can be used to identify high intracranial pressure in patients with cryptococcal meningitis. The 2-year project, running from August 2025 to July 2027, aims to develop a non-invasive method to...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $776,341 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Illinois on September 16, 2025. The purpose of this grant is to develop a microfluidic cartridge, molecular biology method, biosensor, and detection instrument that can simultaneously detect HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral loads from a minimal 100 μL whole blood sample. This...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $1,219,614 Project Grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855) to conduct a large Phase III clinical trial evaluating improved therapies for moderate-to-severe histoplasmosis, a serious fungal infection. The goal is to reduce morbidity and mortality from histoplasmosis while improving the safety and tolerability of...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $212,169 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855) to The Johns Hopkins University to advance mentorship at the Johns Hopkins Integrated Center for Combating Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria. The project summary indicates the principal investigator has conducted pivotal research on antimicrobial resistant infections, leading to clinical guidelines, and has...
- This Project Grant award of $192,500.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) will support research to determine how prior diverse microbial experiences influence the course of tuberculosis (TB) infection. The project will leverage a novel "dirty" mouse model that exposes specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice to a diverse microbiome to shape the immune response, and compare outcomes to traditional SPF mice....
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), awarded a $750,000 Project Grant to The University of Southern Mississippi to research the role of extracellular polyphosphate in Mycobacterium tuberculosis antibiotic tolerance. The 4-year grant, which begins on Sep 20, 2025 and runs through Aug 31, 2029, aims to investigate the metabolic pathways in M. tuberculosis that regulate extracellular...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $536,148 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Tufts University School of Medicine to conduct research on integrating point-of-care urine isoniazid testing into routine tuberculosis (TB) care in India. The research aims to facilitate early and accurate identification of TB patients who are at risk of poor outcomes, including death and disease recurrence, due to...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $243,235 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to The Johns Hopkins University. This grant will fund the development and validation of direct-from-sample whole genome sequencing methods for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) to support expanded genomic surveillance of NG and other bacterial sexually transmitted infections in populations with high HIV burdens in Eastern and...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $4,760,584 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) federal grant program to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) for the "RAPID RESEARCH FOR DIAGNOSTICS DEVELOPMENT IN TB NETWORK: EPISODE 2 (R2D2 TB NETWORK II)" project. The goal of this project is to address the critical unmet need for better tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics in high-burden...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855), awarded a $201,528 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to develop a cost-effective diagnostic algorithm using point-of-care tests to guide antimicrobial management for patients with solid tumors receiving chemotherapy in Uganda. The project aims to understand the association between HIV status and the microbiology of chemotherapy-associated febrile illness, which is a significant complication for cancer patients in Africa, particularly those living with HIV. The research will utilize clinical microbiology diagnostics and next-generation metagenomic sequencing to inform the development of diagnostic guidelines that incorporate HIV and tuberculosis testing for this patient population. The project will be conducted from September 18, 2025 to August 31, 2030.
