The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has awarded a $483,194 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. The funding will support a 5-year project to define the protective CD4+ T cell signature that drives effective CD8+ T cell immunity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The project will leverage historical blood and liver samples from...
This federal Project Grant award of $534,000.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to investigate the mechanisms driving CD4+ T cell differentiation and functionality. The research aims to elucidate how the location and density/half-life of peptide-MHC II complexes on antigen-presenting cells (a "potent Signal 1") can influence the...
This federal Project Grant award, with ID R01AI179712, was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The approximately $857,346 award will fund research by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (doing business as Seattle Cancer Care Alliance) to investigate how activating and inhibitory signals in the form of cytokines and metabolites present in healthy human tissues regulate the effector...
This $1,156,161 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to understand the biological mechanisms that govern CD8 T cell activity and differentiation into resident memory cells (TRM) within the female reproductive tract (FRT). The project aims to leverage a 3D organoid system to rapidly identify transcriptional regulators and signaling pathways, such as the role of retinoic...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $1,179,316.00 was issued by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The award is focused on understanding the mechanisms that regulate CD8 T cell responses during chronic viral infection, with the goal of improving immunotherapies to increase T cell function and reduce viral load. Key aspects of the research include: Determining the role of...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $448,765 Project Grant (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to study the persistence of HIV-specific CD8+ T cell responses in early-treated Thai children on long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART). The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the magnitude, phenotype, and functionality of HIV-specific CD8+ T cells that persist in early-treated children...
This $781,685 project grant from 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 molecular circuits that control the development of human T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells and their role in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) pathogenesis. The research aims to establish how natural Tfr (nTfr) and induced Tfr (iTfr) cell subsets are clonally distinguished and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) aims to support high-throughput discovery of novel transcriptional programs regulating T cell exhaustion. The $450,526 grant awarded to Northwestern University will leverage recently developed single-cell sequencing and CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technologies to rapidly screen and validate the function of transcription factors that govern the...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) will support $639,084 in research to elucidate the heterogeneity and functional differences among naive CD8 T cells, which are the predecessors of antigen-experienced T cells. The 5-year project, awarded to Childrens Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, aims to investigate both mouse and human naive CD8 T cell populations to understand how this heterogeneity is generated and maintained, with the goal of developing strategies to induce protective naive CD8 T cell immunity against pathogens and cancer. The research will involve examining antigen-specific CD8 T cells in young, aged, and newborn populations to define a comprehensive human naive CD8 T cell atlas. The findings from this project are expected to advance the understanding of naive T cell biology and inform the development of improved vaccines and immunotherapies.
