The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $656,479 Project Grant to the Monell Chemical Senses Center effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2031, under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The research project, titled "Influenza Virus Induced Neuroinflammation in the Olfactory Sensory System and Long-Term Anosmia," will investigate the mechanisms underlying persistent olfactory loss following influenza infection. The Monell Chemical Senses Center will deliver preclinical research services utilizing animal models to determine whether deficiencies in antiviral immune pathways contribute to prolonged neuroinflammation, olfactory sensory neuron death, and permanent smell loss in post-influenza patients. The award supports research activities designed to elucidate how genetic errors in antiviral genes lead to inefficient virus clearance from olfactory tissues, resulting in excessive and protracted neuroinflammation affecting both the olfactory epithelium and olfactory bulb. By identifying the molecular mechanisms contributing to post-viral neurodegeneration, this research aims to address a significant gap in understanding long-term olfactory dysfunction and may inform development of therapeutic interventions for patients experiencing persistent smell loss and associated quality-of-life impacts including anxiety and depression.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
