- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $133,746 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) program to Fundacion Instituto De Investigaciones Biotecnologicas, a non-profit research institute in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The grant supports high-throughput analysis of antibody responses against defined epitopes to prioritize diagnostic and prognostic markers for Chagas disease, a parasitic infection endemic to the Americas. The...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $123,280 project grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855) to Instituto De Biologia Molecular Y Celular De Rosario (IBR) in Argentina. The grant aims to investigate the adaptive immune response against Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease, with the goal of developing effective vaccine candidates. The research will focus on enhancing CD8+ T cell...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $155,686 Project Grant to Baylor College of Medicine under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855) to optimize Strongyloides testing in an at-risk U.S. population. This project aims to address the public health challenge of strongyloidiasis, a parasitic infection that can cause severe disease in immunosuppressed individuals. The research will focus on improving diagnostic...
- 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), is providing $133,693 to the Fundacion Instituto De Investigaciones Biotecnologicas in Argentina to study the role of an unusual variant nucleosome in the life cycle of the Toxoplasma gondii parasite. The research aims to investigate how epigenetic changes in T. gondii's unique H2A.Z/H2B.Z double-variant nucleosome...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $536,148 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Tufts University School of Medicine to conduct research on integrating point-of-care urine isoniazid testing into routine tuberculosis (TB) care in India. The research aims to facilitate early and accurate identification of TB patients who are at risk of poor outcomes, including death and disease recurrence, due to...
- This $438,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) will support the development of new tools to facilitate drug discovery for proteasomes in parasitic diseases associated with poverty, including neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The key objectives are to address two key bottlenecks in advancing parasite proteasome research: 1) the time-consuming and limited purification of native parasite 20S...
- 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), provides $769,201 to the University of Massachusetts Medical School to research and develop novel treatments for parasitic gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections. The project aims to discover optimal combinations of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crystal proteins and small molecule anthelmintic drugs to...
- 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), provides $133,800 to the Fundacion Instituto De Investigaciones Biotecnologicas in Argentina. The funding supports research to fully understand protein trafficking through the contractile vacuole complex (CVC) in the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. The research aims to...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $406,450 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The grant supports research to develop a continuous in vitro culture system for the Plasmodium vivax malaria parasite. Key objectives include optimizing the production of host reticulocytes (young red blood cells) to support P. vivax growth, iteratively improving culture conditions...
- This $570,760 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855). The grant supports a multidisciplinary research project to study the structure and function of intraflagellar transport (IFT) in the trypanosomatid parasite Leishmania, which causes several major human diseases. The research aims to elucidate the conserved and parasite-specific features of Leishmania...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a 5-year, $134,067 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Asociación Benefica Prisma (Prisma), a Peruvian non-profit organization. The grant funds research to evaluate the impact of mesophilic anaerobic biodigestion (MAD) systems on the survival, viability, and infectivity of Taenia solium eggs, which can lead to devastating central nervous system infections if ingested. Experiments will be conducted to determine if MAD systems effectively destroy T. solium eggs, with the ultimate goal of modifying the systems to maximize egg killing for use as a community-level intervention to control helminth infections in rural Peru. If successful, this approach could improve sanitation and public health outcomes in areas where MAD systems are being implemented for waste treatment and renewable energy production.
