- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $5,504,270 Cooperative Agreement to The Johns Hopkins University on September 26, 2025 under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855). The award will establish a multinational cohort of people with HIV and chronic hepatitis B (PWHHB) to apply novel technologies and advance a hepatitis B virus (HBV) functional cure. The project aims to characterize mechanisms of intrahepatic HBV...
- The University of Chicago was awarded a $295,276 Project Grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855), to computationally investigate key morphological transitions in the HIV-1 life cycle. The research aims to develop a mechanistic understanding of viral assembly, maturation, and uncoating processes, which could aid in the design of new antiretroviral therapies targeting...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has awarded Colorado State University a $340,408 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to develop and validate an assay for precision antiretroviral therapy to combat drug resistance in HIV patients. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Improving the throughput and capacity of an existing infectivity assay using proviral constructs with an H2B-mRFP...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $859,992 Project Grant to Yale University for the "Molecular Investigations of HIV-1 Maturation Pathways and Inhibitor Actions in situ" research project. The grant, funded under NIAID's Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Program (CFDA 93.855), aims to use advanced in-situ cryo-electron microscopy and tomography techniques to visualize the structural transitions of the HIV-1 virus during the maturation...
- The University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC) was awarded a $647,533 Project Grant on August 1, 2025 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855). The grant supports the development of a rapid, affordable, and sensitive CRISPR cascade signal amplification approach for HIV viral load testing in clinical samples. The research aims to enable acute HIV diagnosis and viral load...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant to Partillion Bioscience Corp, a biotechnology company based in Los Angeles, California. The grant, funded under NIAID's Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports the development of advanced workflows utilizing Partillion's specialized hydrogel microparticle technology called "nanovials". The goal is to enable ultra high-throughput screening and functional...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $272,133 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855) to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to develop a rapid antigen test for diagnosing active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The goal is to create a low-cost, instrument-free test that can accelerate diagnosis and linkage to care, as current treatments can effectively cure HCV but most infected...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $776,341 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Illinois on September 16, 2025. The purpose of this grant is to develop a microfluidic cartridge, molecular biology method, biosensor, and detection instrument that can simultaneously detect HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral loads from a minimal 100 μL whole blood sample. This point-of-care test aims to provide frequent, accurate, and highly sensitive viral load monitoring to improve early infection diagnosis, antiretroviral therapy management, and routine diagnostic testing, especially in settings serving key populations seeking care in lower-stigma locations. The project will run through August 31, 2030.
