The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded The Washington University a Project Grant of $263,895 under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) for research on invasive fungal sinusitis (IFS). The award, effective May 22, 2026, through April 30, 2031, supports investigator-initiated biomedical research to advance understanding of IFS pathophysiology and improve treatment options for immunocompromised patients. The research deliverables include RNA sequencing analyses to evaluate transcriptomic differences in fungal isolates, development and execution of in vitro epithelial permeability models to assess fungal virulence and phenotypic characteristics, and comparative tissue sample analyses between patients with confirmed invasive and non-invasive fungal sinusitis. These research outputs are intended to elucidate the mechanisms underlying fungal invasion, mucosal barrier degradation, and abnormal matrix metalloproteinase regulation in IFS patients. The research will be conducted at Washington University's Office of Sponsored Research Services in St. Louis, Missouri, leveraging the institution's established capacity in biomedical research and infectious disease investigation. Deliverables will contribute to the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program's broader objective of establishing and expanding research addressing infectious diseases and immunologic disorders to improve public health outcomes and advance scientific knowledge of disease mechanisms.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
