The U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $1,564,570 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to The General Hospital Corporation (doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital) to conduct research on identifying drivers of genital inflammation and HIV acquisition in women living in sub-Saharan Africa. The project will run from August 2024 through June 2029. The grant supports several key products and...
This $1,542,980 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), will fund research to explore the impact of gender-affirming hormone therapy on HIV viral dynamics and immune responses in transgender women. The award supports two key research cohorts: 1) a cross-sectional cohort of 120 transgender women, evenly divided by HIV serostatus and hormone exposure, and 2) a cohort of...
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 $220,224.00 to the University of Chicago to computationally investigate key morphological transitions in the HIV-1 life cycle. The research aims to improve understanding of the assembly and disassembly processes involved in HIV-1 infection, including virion budding, viral core maturation, and capsid uncoating. This...
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 $148,824 to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) over a 5-year period from August 2024 to July 2029.
