Weill Medical College of Cornell University received a $3.59 million Project Grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), awarded May 26, 2026, with completion scheduled for April 30, 2031. This multi-project research initiative, titled "Microbiology of Treatment Shortening in Tuberculosis," aims to establish a scientific foundation for developing shortened tuberculosis (TB) treatment regimens and drugs. The award supports collaborative, multidisciplinary research addressing the global TB pandemic, which has re-emerged as the leading cause of infectious disease deaths following COVID-19-related disruptions in TB healthcare services. The grant funds four integrated research projects conducted at the institution's New York location. Project 1 investigates mechanisms enabling phenotypically drug-resistant bacterial subpopulations to persist during chemotherapy. Project 2 conducts reverse-translational studies to identify biomarkers, mechanisms, and drug targets based on the treatment-shortening properties of frontline agents rifampin and pyrazinamide. Project 3 employs innovative CRISPRi-based genetic-interaction mapping to identify highly efficacious Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug-target combinations. Project 4 utilizes genetic approaches to define additional targets and mechanisms. Collectively, these research activities are designed to advance understanding of TB treatment duration determinants and discover new therapeutic targets to reduce chemotherapy duration and associated toxicities.Federal Grant Award Summary
