Federal Project Grant Award Summary The University of Missouri System (Curators of the University of Missouri) received a $805,253 Project Grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), awarded July 3, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2031. The award funds research investigating the mechanisms underlying airborne transmission of seasonal influenza A viruses, specifically comparing H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes. The research deliverables include characterization of aerosol particle size distributions and virion morphologies using novel PathoSift Pro aerosol sampling and advanced imaging techniques (transmission electron microscopy and cryo-electron tomography); systematic evaluation of how temperature and relative humidity affect viral viability and particle transport using laboratory-infected swine samples and a custom aerosol exposure system; and integration of environmental data into fate and transport modeling to quantify subtype-specific transmission potential under varying climatic conditions. The project directly addresses a critical gap in understanding how viral characteristics and environmental factors interact to influence influenza transmission dynamics, with findings intended to inform public health interventions and pandemic preparedness strategies. Research activities are conducted at the University of Missouri's Columbia campus, leveraging institutional expertise in animal health diagnostics and infectious disease research within the university's comprehensive federal research portfolio.
