- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Children's Hospital Corporation (doing business as Boston Children's Hospital) $267,000 on July 6, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to investigate regulatory B cell function in transplant alloimmunity. The project examines whether neuropilin-2 (NRP2)-expressing B cell subsets promote immunoregulation and suppress CD4+ T effector cell activation in the context of organ transplant...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Children's Hospital Corporation, doing business as Boston Children's Hospital, $889,519 on April 1, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to develop multi-biologic, adeno-associated virus (AAV)-deliverable HIV-1 therapeutics for potential functional cure applications. The funded research advances AAV-vector delivery of broadly neutralizing antibodies and ECD4-IG, a potency and half-life...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded Boston Children's Hospital (The Children's Hospital Corporation) $124,992 on May 15, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) for Project Grant K99AI199041. The award funds research dissecting the priming and activation mechanisms of the NLRP3 inflammasome in sterile inflammatory diseases, particularly atherosclerosis and cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS). In the K99 phase, the...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded the Children's Hospital Corporation $278,868 on January 21, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to validate viral metagenomic sequencing of dust samples from elementary schools for early detection of emerging viral strains. The project conducts metagenomic profiling of 571 dust samples longitudinally collected from 209 classrooms across 41 schools between 2015 and 2019 as an ancillary...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Children's Hospital Corporation (Boston Children's Hospital) $794,886 on June 11, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to investigate the role of endogenous chimeric mRNA-encoded gasdermin D fusion proteins in pyroptosis and innate immunity. The research employs long-read direct RNA sequencing to identify and characterize chimeric mRNA (chRNA) species in mammalian cells, with focus...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Children's Hospital Corporation, doing business as Boston Children's Hospital, $727,080 under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) on April 1, 2026. The award funds investigation of age-specific mechanisms of action for three newly discovered adjuvant combinations using human in vitro models and age-specific in vivo models. The research addresses the burden of respiratory infections at extremes of age by developing age-specific vaccine formulations through the MEMPHIS (Modular Evaluation of Immunogenicity Using Multi-Platform Human In Vitro Systems) platform. The three adjuvant combinations pair the TLR9 agonist CpG with different non-TLR adjuvants and demonstrate unique age-specific modes of action. The work aims to dissect molecular mechanisms of these combinations and investigate their applicability to age-specific vaccine development, with a hypothesis that the combinations can improve vaccine efficacy and durability across age groups. Performance occurs at Boston, Massachusetts from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2031. This is a Project Grant, classified as assistance funding to establish and expand biomedical research in infectious diseases and related areas.
