This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $445,000.00 to The Children's Hospital Of Philadelphia Research Institute to conduct research on the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in thromboinflammatory diseases. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize the role of NETs in immune homeostasis, 2) define the mechanism by which platelet factor 4 (PF4) and an Fc-modified antibody enhance NET-mediated...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $602,955 Project Grant (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado. The 5-year grant, running from July 2024 to June 2029, will fund research to identify the unique functions and molecular drivers of airspace macrophage subsets during the resolution of lung inflammation and active lung repair. The primary objectives are to: 1) Test the hypothesis that a subset of airspace...
The U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $802,500 Cooperative Agreement grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The grant supports the construction of a multi-scale 3D AI-powered map of genetic factors and cellular interactions driving normal and aberrant lung development in childhood interstitial lung disease (CHILD). The project will leverage single-cell and spatial...
This $203,974 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports a research project to investigate the effects of normal and diseased extracellular matrix (ECM) on the self-renewal and differentiation of airway basal epithelial cells. The project leverages novel tools developed by the co-PIs, including "inside-out" airway organoids and ECM hydrogels derived from normal and...

This Project Grant award of $915,924 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to investigate how disruptions to early-life microbial colonization of the lungs, such as through antibiotic use, can lead to chronic respiratory diseases by remodeling the developmental pathways of lung-resident immune cells and epithelial cells. The research aims to define the specific microbial taxa essential for establishing lung homeostasis...
The University of Tennessee Health Science Center received a $615,455 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) program. The award, effective September 1, 2024 through June 30, 2028, supports research to investigate the role of eosinophils in promoting antibacterial immunity against Streptococcus pneumoniae, a leading cause of bacterial pneumonia that often co-occurs with influenza infections. The...
This Project Grant award of $579,309, provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) program, supports research conducted by the University of Toledo's Health Science Campus Division. The project aims to investigate the role of cysteinyl leukotriene receptor signaling in regulating the inflammatory and proliferative functions of macrophages, and its impact on lung inflammation in response to acute lung injury. The research will...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $759,983.00 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to investigate neutrophil function and the lung microenvironment during Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia and acute lung injury. The study aims to determine how neutrophils change as they are recruited and function during pneumonia, compare neutrophils defined by specific criteria, and examine changes...

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a 5-year, $756,875 Project Grant (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to the University of Cincinnati to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contribute to airway damage and infection in mucoobstructive lung diseases like cystic fibrosis. The research aims to understand how NETs mediate inflammation and infection by targeting the epithelial junction protein E-cadherin, and to test whether alpha-1 antitrypsin can mitigate these deleterious NET effects. The project involves collaborations with sub-awardees Childrens Hospital Medical Center and Emory University, who will provide additional scientific expertise and support for the research. The goal is to generate new insights into NET-epithelial interactions that drive pathogenesis in mucoobstructive lung diseases, which could lead to the development of improved treatments.
