This federal Project Grant award of $195,213 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research by the University of California, Davis to investigate the mechanisms by which the gut microbiota, specifically short-chain fatty acids, can inhibit the growth of the enteric pathogen Yersinia enterocolitica. The research aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying Y. enterocolitica's sensitivity and...
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), provides $891,678 to the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA to conduct research on how metabolites from the intestinal microbiota can modulate host immune responses. The researchers will employ chemical biology and proteomics methods to identify specific microbiota-associated bile acid protein targets in mammalian cells...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $220,340 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the Carnegie Institution of Washington for the project "Coordinated Growth in Microbial Communities and Implications for Antibiotic Sensitivities".

This $926,057 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research is supporting research to understand how the gut microbiota influences immune responses, particularly B-cell development and antibody production, following vaccination. The project aims to identify gut stromal cell populations and microbial components that are crucial for enhancing stromal cell function and promoting improved...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $232,073 to Brown University to conduct research on alleviating antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis by restoring small intestinal bile acid metabolism. The key objectives are to determine the role of bile acid metabolism in antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis and evaluate the efficacy of bile acid restoration to...
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), will support research to study microbial biomarkers that can predict multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) colonization and infection in solid organ transplant recipients. The $841,520 award to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York will leverage whole-genome sequencing and metagenomic analysis of gut...
The federal Project Grant award R56AT012463 for $340,449.00, awarded on Sep 24, 2024 by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) under the Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health (CFDA 93.213) program, supports research by Brown University to alleviate antibiotic-induced disruption of the gut microbiome. The research aims to identify mechanisms that can be translated into therapies for protecting the microbiome during antibiotic treatment,...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $1,338,750 Project Grant to Yale University to conduct research on how gut bacteria can influence host feeding behavior and microbiome assembly using the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system. The project aims to develop tools and assays to study the molecular mechanisms by which gut microbes can manipulate host feeding decisions, with the goal of gaining insights that may apply to other host-microbe systems. Key...
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) provides $126,096 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on microbial competition in the Salmonella-perturbed gut. The key objectives are to: 1) analyze bacterial metabolism to identify potential competitors of Salmonella Typhimurium (STM) and apply metatranslatomics to predict competition and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $582,350 to the University of Illinois to conduct research on microbiota-mediated colonization resistance to Acinetobacter baumannii. The goal is to identify keystone gut microbial species that can synergize with a diverse microbiota to prevent colonization by this opportunistic pathogen, which poses a...

This federal Project Grant award of $125,809 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 non-antibiotic prescription medications impact the gut microbiome and affect the risk of gastrointestinal infections. The award recipient, Yale University, will establish mouse models to study how specific drugs, such as the cardiac medication digoxin and the anticonvulsant clonazepam, alter microbiome composition and increase susceptibility to Salmonella infection. The research aims to elucidate the underlying mechanisms by which these non-antibiotic drugs disrupt the microbiome and increase infection risk, with the goal of developing microbiome-based interventions to mitigate gastrointestinal diseases. This work will build the awardee's expertise in mucosal immunology, epidemiological study design, and animal models of infection.
