This Project Grant, awarded May 12, 2026, by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $700,209 in federal funding to Indiana University Indianapolis to conduct biomedical research examining the impact of excessive dietary salt consumption on CD8 T cell immune responses during acute viral infections. The research will be conducted over a five-year period through April 30, 2031, and aims to establish whether high salt diets impair CD8 T cell function and promote T cell exhaustion during viral infection through both extrinsic and intrinsic cellular mechanisms. The funded research initiative will deliver scientific knowledge and methodological advances regarding the immunological effects of dietary sodium intake on antiviral immune responses. Through two specific research aims, the project will determine the extrinsic T cell mechanisms by which excessive salt consumption impairs CD8 T cell responses to viral infection and identify associated intrinsic cellular pathways. This basic science investigation directly supports the program's objective of establishing and expanding biomedical research addressing infectious diseases and immunologic disorders, with findings intended to improve understanding of how modern dietary patterns affect immune function and potentially inform public health recommendations regarding salt consumption and disease susceptibility.
