This $105,076 Project Grant was awarded on December 20, 2025 by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855). The grant supports research conducted by Trustees of Dartmouth College to investigate the dual function of the TSIT immunity protein in regulating Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm production, which is a key challenge in treating chronic respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $629,319 to Emory University to investigate methods for overcoming refractory cystic fibrosis (CF) defects. The research aims to identify cellular targets that can ameliorate disease by correcting basic defects resulting from premature termination codons (PTCs) in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Key research activities include...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) provides $442,024 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to conduct research on the cellular mechanisms driving antibody effector functions. The research aims to elucidate the complex relationships between antigens, antibodies, and effector cells in order to establish design criteria for engineering antibody therapeutics with predictable and robust effector...
This federal Project Grant award of $730,494, provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research), supports research to investigate the mechanisms linking the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein to dysregulated barrier function, insulin receptor function, and glucose transport in the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The research aims to determine how the expression of mutant CFTR alters tight junction...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $756,875.00, was provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the University of Cincinnati. The award supports research to investigate the fundamental mechanisms by which neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contribute to airway damage and infection in mucoobstructive lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis. Key research aims include examining how NET-mediated...
This $151,040 Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to investigate the regulatory role of the small regulatory RNA BECO on essential virulence factors in the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The research aims to determine how BECO controls the expression of the Type III Secretion System and pyochelin biosynthesis genes, which are critical for P....

The research aims to determine changes in neutrophil transcriptomes and the lung microenvironment during the development and resolution of S. pneumoniae-induced inflammation and...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $1,061,189 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on immune crosstalk in lung injury and fibrosis. The key objectives are to study epithelial cell regulation of fibrosis and its interaction with myeloid cells, uncover mechanisms for impaired innate immunity against gram-positive infections in fibrosis, test delivery of targeted therapeutics...

This Project Grant award of $2,000,987.00 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research at Dartmouth College to investigate mechanisms by which antiviral interferon signaling and metabolic reprogramming during respiratory viral infections promote bacterial biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis patients. The goal is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms driving viral-bacterial co-infections and identify new targets to delay acquisition and chronic bacterial colonization. The research will utilize improved in vitro and in vivo models to examine how virus-induced metabolic changes in the respiratory epithelium facilitate P. aeruginosa persistence and chronic infection. The award has a project period from Sep 1, 2024 to Jun 30, 2028 and includes a $304,957.00 sub-award to the University of Pittsburgh to support specialized aspects of the research.
