The University of Washington received a $653,438 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 17, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2031. This award supports a research initiative investigating asymptomatic tuberculosis (TB) transmission, infectiousness, and immunology in Nairobi, Kenya. The project will deliver scientific research products including epidemiological data on TB transmission patterns, identification of host immunologic determinants associated with disease progression, and development of screening tools to identify individuals with asymptomatic TB who pose the greatest transmission risk or face progression to infectious states. The research will generate multiple products and datasets through community-based studies enrolling 10,000 participants. Deliverables include microbiological assessments of cough aerosol infectiousness, investigations of household and non-household TB transmission chains, comprehensive immunologic pathway analysis, and biometric data profiles collected via personal mobile devices. These products will advance understanding of the "superspreader" phenotype among asymptomatic TB cases and inform evidence-based public health interventions to control TB transmission in high-burden settings, addressing critical knowledge gaps that currently impede effective TB control strategies.Federal Grant Award Summary
