This $218,068 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) supports research to investigate the impact of obesity on natural killer (NK) cell antiviral function and immune crosstalk with respiratory epithelial cells during influenza virus infection. The primary objectives are to: 1) assess the impact of obesity on NK cell populations and function in response to influenza...
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), aims to generate fundamental mechanistic information to enhance immunological memory and reduce the burden of infectious diseases. The $631,977 award, with a period of performance from November 2024 to October 2029, supports research to investigate how caloric restriction enhances pathogen- and vaccine-elicited immune...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $269,054 Project Grant (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) to the University of California, Merced to investigate host-parasite interactions and susceptibility mechanisms to low virulence Toxoplasma gondii strains. The project aims to leverage the Collaborative Cross mouse panel and parasite genetics to identify novel host genes and pathways that determine disease outcomes following primary T. gondii...
This federal Project Grant award of $791,864, provided 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 the molecular factors that control chromatin organization and gene regulation in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The key objectives of the project are to elucidate the importance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in parasite development, virulence, and...
This federal Project Grant award of $3,060,713.00 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), will support a multi-year research study on the effects of obesity and diabetes in regulating pulmonary and extra-pulmonary anti-viral immune responses.

This federal Project Grant award of $451,292 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) seeks to uncover neuronal mechanisms that orchestrate metabolic adaptations to bacterial infections, with a focus on delineating the role of the brain-liver axis in modulating these responses. The research aims to better understand how neuronal and hepatic (liver) processes regulate circulating lipid levels...
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 $785,511 to the University of Chicago to conduct research on the genetic and epigenetic factors underlying inter-individual variation in immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and influenza virus infections. The key objectives of this 5-year research project are to: (i) characterize the variability in...

This Project Grant award of $704,041 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 sex differences in macrophage and eosinophil function and their role in protecting against diet-induced obesity and helminth infections. The overarching goal is to leverage expertise in metabolism, immunology, and bioinformatics to determine protective type 2 immune mechanisms with broad public health implications for tackling the obesity epidemic and gaining critical knowledge of beneficial immune responses triggered by parasitic infections. The award funds a 5-year research project led by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside, a public research university and Hispanic-serving institution. The research aims to provide new insights into the sex-dependent innate immune pathways involved in obesity and type 2 immunity against helminth infections.
