Project Grant R01AI180067
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $283,164 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G) to develop physiology-based mechanistic models to forecast the responses of sand fly vector species to coarse-scale environmental changes like climate change, as well as fine-scale changes from land use modifications. The project aims to (1) determine the physiological parameters that influence the geographical spread and...
- The University of North Carolina at Charlotte received a $413,542 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855). The funding supports research to develop novel non-immunostimulatory nanoparticle-carrier formulations that can deliver anti-inflammatory therapeutics or antimicrobial agents into resident central nervous system cells. The goal is to limit intracellular...
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) received a $498,885 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855). The grant, awarded on September 25, 2025, will support research to develop deep learning surrogate models that can predict the spread of antimalarial drug resistance, with a planned completion date of August 31, 2030. The research aims to...
- The federal Project Grant award of $873,362.00 was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), to East Carolina University to study the socioeconomic impacts of La Crosse encephalitis in western North Carolina. The research project will assess the acute and long-term physical, social, and cognitive impacts of La Crosse encephalitis on survivors and their families, determine the direct and...
- The University of Washington received a $458,849 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) to conduct research aimed at uncovering the sensory mechanisms mosquitoes use to detect blood. The project seeks to leverage emerging single-cell RNA sequencing and high-throughput genetic analysis approaches to deeply characterize the diversity of sensory neurons in the mosquito labrum (feeding structure) and...
- The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) was awarded a $675,962 Project Grant by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The purpose of the grant is to characterize the interaction between human and vector behaviors in order to enhance the impact of malaria control interventions in Uganda. The project will integrate rigorous human behavioral and entomological monitoring data to elucidate...
- 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 $707,696 to The Johns Hopkins University from November 2024 through October 2029. The funding supports research to identify volatile organic compounds in human scent signatures that modulate attractiveness to the African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae, a key disease vector. The research aims to characterize...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855), is funding research to develop new tools and technologies for vector control of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, an important disease vector. The key focus is on evaluating conditional and sex-specific lethal systems that can restrict lethal transgene expression and reduce the fitness load on mosquito populations, as...
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a $162,000 Project Grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) on August 22, 2025. The grant will fund research to understand the mechanisms and parameters controlling gene amplification leading to phenotypic heterogeneity in Enterobacter bacteria, which can contribute to antibiotic resistance. The research aims to characterize the principles of gene...
- This $157,884 Project Grant, awarded on December 26, 2025 by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to investigate the effects of a chromosomal inversion in the Anopheles coluzzii mosquito on gene regulation and its relationship to malaria resistance. The central hypothesis is that genetic variation between the inversion forms leads to differential enhancer activity and gene...
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G) received a $727,079 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) federal grant program. The purpose of the 5-year grant, which began on September 10, 2025, is to conduct research on the behavioral, microbial, and chemical ecology of sand fly oviposition (egg-laying) site selection. This research aims to develop an attractive lure and ultimately an attractive lethal oviposition trap for Phlebotomus papatasi, a key vector of Leishmaniasis and other neglected tropical diseases. The project will integrate laboratory and field studies to investigate the resource-based attraction hypothesis and explore the microbial and chemical cues that guide host location, mate finding, and egg-laying behavior in sand flies.
