The study leverages the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry linked to...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded $1.555 million to the University of Maryland, Baltimore on August 5, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to model and treat chronic HIV-induced lung infections. The research investigates immune mechanisms underlying increased susceptibility to respiratory infections in people living with HIV. The project focuses on how chronic HIV infection impairs dendritic cell differentiation and function, hypothesizing...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey (doing business as RBHS-School of Nursing) $764,590 on February 1, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to investigate the ontogeny and functions of trained macrophages in type 2 immunity. The research addresses helminth parasite infections affecting an estimated 2 billion people globally and examines how type 2 inflammatory responses balance...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey $431,750 on September 1, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to define the impact of phosphatidylserine-targeting antibodies on T cell function in HIV-1 infection. The research investigates how phosphatidylserine-reactive antibodies, produced endogenously during HIV-1 infection, influence T cell dysregulation and immune activation in people...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey a $721,720 Project Grant effective September 1, 2025, through July 31, 2029, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). This research initiative investigates the psychosocial and cultural determinants of cardiometabolic health among older foreign-born Chinese Americans, an understudied population disproportionately affected by...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey $647,356 on June 17, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to investigate the role of GPR132 in regulating CD8 T cell responses during infection and cancer. The research aims to determine how GPR132, a G protein–coupled receptor that detects oxidized endogenous and microbial lipids, regulates CD8 T cell expansion and memory differentiation. The...
- Federal Grant Award Summary Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, School of Nursing, received a $416,121 Project Grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) on June 11, 2025, with a completion date of May 31, 2027. This award supports investigator-initiated biomedical research examining the role of TBet+ B cells in viral reinfection and host protection. The research will advance...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, School of Nursing, $117,750 on May 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct proteomic profiling and neurocognitive assessment to uncover stroke mechanisms in adults with sickle cell disease. The study quantifies neurodegeneration-associated and mitochondrial proteins in a cohort of 90 sex- and age-matched adults comprising 30 healthy controls, 30...
The National Institutes of Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, doing business as RBHS-School of Nursing, $759,514 under project grant R01HL180303 on July 25, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The recipient will investigate lung aging in people with HIV, focusing on how chronic antigenic stimulation from viral peptides drives lung inflammation and cellular senescence. The research examines physiological and biological profiles of lung aging in people with HIV compared to people without HIV, with particular attention to defective HIV provirus and cytomegalovirus antibody levels as drivers of T-cell activation and senescence contributing to lung cell damage. The work addresses accelerated lung function decline in aging people with HIV, including mechanisms of "inflammaging," telomere shortening, and senescent cell phenotypes that underlie non-AIDS-related comorbidities and chronic lung diseases in this population. Performance occurs at Piscataway, New Jersey, with a period of performance running through March 31, 2031. This project grant is a direct award to the School of Nursing as a research division of Rutgers, with the school conducting all proposed work under the award.
