Project Grant R01AI184596
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), awarded a $750,000 Project Grant to The University of Southern Mississippi to research the role of extracellular polyphosphate in Mycobacterium tuberculosis antibiotic tolerance. The 4-year grant, which begins on Sep 20, 2025 and runs through Aug 31, 2029, aims to investigate the metabolic pathways in M. tuberculosis that regulate extracellular...
- The U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $1,166,933 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Vanderbilt University Medical Center to study Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission. The project aims to identify bacterial genetic and phenotypic features associated with M. tuberculosis transmission outcomes, including infection, subclinical TB, and clinical TB disease. It will also define M. tuberculosis...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $721,194 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Florida State University (FSU) to conduct research on membrane protein complexes involved in the cell division process of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB). The 5-year project, beginning March 1, 2025, aims to structurally characterize the FtsQ-FtsZ and FtsQ-FtsB-FtsL protein...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a 5-year, $1,640,492 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Albert Einstein College of Medicine to study the role of the ESX5 secretome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in TB and TB-HIV pathogenesis and immunity. The researchers generated a genetic deletion of the ESX5 locus, which they found produced a live attenuated vaccine that is highly effective at preventing TB in...
- This $193,375 Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to identify bacterial determinants that may contribute to variable treatment responses for tuberculosis (TB). The project, conducted by researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, aims to investigate the effects of clinically prevalent variants in the ESX1 secretion system on TB...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $224,943 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Massachusetts to conduct research on "Cell Wall Carbohydrate Recycling in Mycobacterium tuberculosis". The research aims to identify and characterize a novel mechanism for recycling the peptidoglycan component of the Mycobacteriales cell wall, which may promote survival of non-replicating...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $429,546 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to National Jewish Health in Colorado. The grant will fund research to evaluate the efficacy of tuberculosis (TB) treatment regimens by analyzing the transcriptomic patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis injury and adaptation during drug treatment. The research aims to develop more reliable preclinical measures of TB treatment...
- The University of Washington received a $188,760 Project Grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) program. The grant supports research to investigate the role of the lung inflammatory environment and cellular milieu in controlling Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection and preventing tuberculosis (TB) disease. Specifically, the research will test the hypothesis that interferon gamma-activated...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $2,922,220 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant supports research to advance apoptosis-inducing agents as host-directed therapy for tuberculosis (TB). The research aims to boost host immune responses via the intrinsic apoptosis pathway to reduce Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) growth and enhance the bactericidal activity of...
- This $209,408 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) program, supports a research project to characterize the role of unconventional T cell subsets in the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection using a non-human primate model. The goal is to gain a better understanding of these niche T cell populations in the lung granulomas during the early stages of MTB...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), awarded a $742,499 Project Grant to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) for the "Molecular Investigation of Siderophore Secretion and Drug Efflux by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis" research project. This 5-year project, running from August 2025 to July 2030, aims to shed light on the unique siderophore secretion system in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and reveal the molecular mechanisms of siderophore secretion and drug efflux. The research will focus on understanding how M. tuberculosis secretes siderophores to acquire iron in the iron-deprived lung environment, as well as how this secretion system is also the main resistance mechanism against the tuberculosis drug bedaquiline. The findings from this project are expected to advance scientific knowledge and potentially support the development of new treatments for tuberculosis.
