- The Project Grant award of $2,231,717 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program will establish the Center for RNA Biology in Health and Disease at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The primary objective is to build research infrastructure and support junior investigators to advance their transition to independent R01-funded scientists. The center will focus on leveraging recent developments in RNA...
- This $213,180 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program aims to establish a transdisciplinary predoctoral training program in Biomedical Sciences and Bioengineering (BSBE) at the University of Rhode Island (URI). The program will bring together graduate students and faculty from across URI's Colleges of the Environment and Life Sciences, Engineering, and Health Sciences to...
- The $131,613 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to improve the treatment of malaria-associated acute kidney injury (MAKI) and prevent the progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The project aims to develop alternative therapies for resource-limited regions where malaria is endemic, as the current renal replacement therapy options pose...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) has awarded a $1,147,500 Project Grant to the West Virginia University Research Corporation (WVURC) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) federal grant program. This 5-year grant, effective September 1, 2025, will support the WVU Stroke COBRE, which focuses on promoting foundational research into risk factors for stroke, biological mechanisms underlying neuronal damage, novel therapeutics, and strategies to...
- This federal Project Grant award of $708,202, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research), supports research to identify targets of naturally acquired protection against severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria and develop them as novel blood-stage vaccine candidates. The award to Brown University will: 1) conduct a case-control study in Kenya to identify infants and children with severe malaria and matched controls, 2)...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $501,800 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital). The award, with a period of performance from Aug 4, 2025 to Jul 31, 2027, will fund research to use cryo-electron tomography to gain new molecular insights into the divergent cell division process of the Plasmodium parasite, which causes...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $348,583 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to Providence College in Providence, RI. The grant will fund the acquisition of a Nikon CSU-W1 spinning disk confocal microscope system to support NIH-funded biomedical research projects at the college. The new high-resolution 3D fluorescence microscope will replace an aging 14-year-old confocal system that has reached the end of...
- 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 $239,250.00 to Brown University to investigate life-cycle transitions in trypanosomatid parasites using live-cell imaging. The research aims to address significant gaps in the understanding of cellular events like cell division in these important human pathogens, which cause severe diseases globally. The...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $385,000 Project Grant to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) for the program "Biomedical Research and Research Training" (CFDA 93.859). The objective is to identify and characterize the function of lipid transport and processing proteins in the malaria parasite Plasmodium, which evolved its own lipid machinery to thrive in human red blood cells. The research will quantify lipid uptake dynamics...
- This $147,656 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to understand the role of transmembrane proteins in the cell division process of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The award, effective January 22, 2025 through October 31, 2027, will enable the integration of biochemical and super-resolution microscopy approaches to decipher...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a 5-year, $2,490,273 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to Rhode Island Hospital's Center for International Health Research (CIHR). The overarching goal of this COBRE (Center for Biomedical Research Excellence) grant is to establish a center focused on translational research to mitigate the significant morbidity and mortality caused by highly prevalent human pathogens, such as malaria, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, and Ebola. The grant aims to support the careers of outstanding research project leaders who will dedicate their efforts to reducing the disease burden of these pathogens, while building a center of excellence in this crucial area of research. The funding will enable an interdisciplinary, "team science" approach to propel cutting-edge translational research and its application to human populations more efficiently.
