- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $452,375 on June 16, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to identify transcription factors that promote pulmonary infection by opportunistic pathogens. The recipient will conduct research to determine how the transcription factor RpoN responds to environmental signals in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and how...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $3,144,408 on February 6, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to investigate regulatory T cell memory in human tissues. The award funds research to characterize the role, identity, and function of human regulatory T cells (Tregs) across diverse tissues and their interactions with immune and structural cells. The project will...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded New York University $836,484 on May 19, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to develop vectored immunoprophylaxis using ACE2 receptor decoys to prevent and treat SARS-CoV-2 infection. The project will develop and test high-affinity ACE2 receptor decoys—composed of the extracellular domain of ACE2 fused to a truncated immunoglobulin heavy-chain Fc region—delivered via adeno-associated...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $821,367 on May 1, 2026, to support systematic functional variant-to-pathway and phenotype evaluation in genetic disorders of the immune system. The recipient will conduct functional variant mapping of rare and common genetic variants in immune system diseases using a CRISPR-base editing framework in primary human T cells. The work focuses on clarifying variants of...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research $3,519,992 on March 1, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to develop computational and microbiome-based strategies for predicting and preventing gut-borne bloodstream infections in immunocompromised patients. The project will develop three integrated tools: computational models to forecast infection risk based on microbiome dynamics,...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $837,291 on August 14, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to develop generative AI-driven models that predict human compliance with non-pharmaceutical interventions during infectious disease outbreaks. The project combines behavioral surveys, large-scale mobility data, and large language model agents to address gaps in current epidemic modeling that rely on pre-defined, static compliance scenarios and fail to account for variability across social and economic contexts. Aim 1 quantifies voluntary behavior changes and NPI compliance through surveys conducted in diverse U.S. cities under multiple disease scenarios, benchmarked against mobile phone-derived foot-traffic data from the COVID-19 pandemic and projected severe flu seasons. Aim 2 develops interpretable LLM agents simulating human-like compliance behavior across different socioeconomic and policy contexts, validated against survey and mobility data. Aim 3 integrates these agents into behavior-driven epidemic models to design optimized, context-specific policy bundles and develop an interactive decision-support dashboard for policymakers. Work is performed in New York, New York with a period of performance from the award date through July 31, 2031. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
