Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan a $677,822 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) for research addressing coccidioidomycosis (valley fever), an emerging infectious disease in the U.S. Southwest. The award, effective June 2, 2026, through May 31, 2031, funds research to advance methodologies for estimating population immunity to Coccidioides fungal infection and identifying specific exposures associated with prior infection. The project leverages analysis of over 230,000 reported coccidioidomycosis cases from California and Arizona surveillance systems to generate epidemiological insights and develop improved assessment tools using cell-mediated immunity tests and population-level serological surveys. This research directly supports vaccine development planning and public health preparedness by establishing current estimates of naturally induced immunity in the general population—data critical for designing forthcoming clinical trials. By addressing significant gaps in understanding disease burden and individual-level risk factors such as occupational dust exposure, the project will enhance surveillance capabilities and inform targeted prevention strategies for this geographically expanding infectious disease threat.
