This $533,707 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to elucidate how the human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 oncoprotein disrupts the balance between proliferation and differentiation in epithelial cells, enabling persistent HPV infection and contributing to carcinogenesis. The key objectives are to 1) determine the mechanism by which HPV E7-mediated...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $633,694 Project Grant under CFDA 93.173 (Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to North Carolina State University (NC State) to develop a non-invasive therapy using vocal fold lamina propria extract (VFLPX) to treat vocal fold scarring and laryngotracheal injuries. The project aims to: (1) investigate the anti-fibrotic and anti-microbial properties of VFLPX through advanced proteomic...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) has awarded a $515,812 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Johns Hopkins University. The award will fund a prospective observational cohort study to examine the progression to HPV-related oropharynx cancer (HPV-OPC) in people living with and without HIV. The study aims to: 1) study progression to HPV-OPC and how it differs in those with and without HIV; 2) characterize the...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The $2,764,816 grant, awarded on August 1, 2024, will fund research to elucidate the interactions between HPV E6 oncoprotein levels, mitochondrial function, and progression of HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $164,000.00 to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of using mail-delivered sample collection kits to test for oral HPV DNA infection among a diverse population of people living with HIV (PLWH). The study aims to assess the agreement between at-home self-collected samples and clinic-collected samples for detecting...

The research seeks to determine the accuracy of using local sequence...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $204,688 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Johns Hopkins University from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2027. The grant aims to develop a novel cancer immunotherapy approach for HPV-associated head and neck cancers. Key components include: Evaluating the ability of Salmonella-derived outer membrane vesicles coated with the HPV E7 antigen (SOMV-9RE7) to induce tumor...

This $110,266 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) will support research to better understand how low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) can establish chronic infections in the vocal folds, leading to the development of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). The project aims to define the role of vocal fold injury in facilitating HPV entry, disrupting epithelial homeostasis, and enhancing HPV gene expression, ultimately overwhelming the immune system's ability to control the infection. The research will utilize in vivo and in vitro models to investigate these mechanisms. Completion of the project is expected to have a significant and sustained impact on laryngology and papillomavirus biology, providing insights that could lead to improved prevention and management of RRP, a highly morbid laryngeal disease. The award will fund this research over a 2-year period from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2027 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
