The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $681,278 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant, which runs from July 2024 to May 2026, will fund research to characterize the HIV latent reservoir and model the contributions of antigen-driven and homeostatic proliferation to its persistence in people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy. The goal is to help design future HIV...
This Project Grant award of $910,905 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research by the Scripps Research Institute to develop an HIV vaccine using a lipid nanodisc platform. The key objectives are to: Solve the structures of engineered transmembrane HIV envelope (Env) proteins incorporated into lipid nanodiscs in complex with broadly neutralizing antibodies targeting the...
This $1,454,724 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to understand the mechanisms involved in HIV-1 latency in the central nervous system (CNS). The primary objectives are to identify key factors, pathways, and regulators that determine the establishment, maintenance, and reactivation of latent HIV-1 virus in brain myeloid cell lineages, such as microglia and macrophages. The research will...
This federal Project Grant award of $489,500 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 improve the targeting and elimination of the intact HIV reservoir. The key products of this 2-year project conducted by The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute are: Identifying distinct transcriptional, epigenetic, and clonal features of CD4+ T cells with intact...
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 $194,616.00 to Emory University to develop virus-like particles (VLPs) for an HIV-1 cure strategy. The key objectives are to: Use VLPs to deliver the HIV-1 Tat protein as a latency reversing agent, paired with AAV vectors expressing broadly neutralizing antibodies to eliminate reactivated HIV-infected cells (the...

This $459,999 federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director (CFDA 93.310 - Trans-NIH Research Support) supports research by the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA to develop predictive modeling of viral RNA cellular behavior. The key objectives are to: 1) Develop high-throughput technologies that integrate 3D structural ensembles of biomolecules with quantitative measurements of in vitro and cellular functions to build predictive models...

This $536,943.46 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases funds research at The Scripps Research Institute-Florida on identifying host factors that regulate HIV latency and reactivation. The grant supports three aims over a six-month period: defining the roles of proteins P32, FUBP3, and PHB2 in HIV transcription and chromatin structure; investigating protein complexes associated with P32, FUBP3, and PHB2 and their interaction with Tat; and exploring a "block-and-lock" approach using single factors or combinations to durably silence latent HIV and their dependence on the Tat/TAR circuitry. The overarching goal is to leverage understanding of host factor mechanisms to drive latent HIV proviruses into stable heterochromatin through transcriptional silencing strategies. This award supports research under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program.
