Project Grant R01HL180759
- The University of Washington received a $880,735 Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837). The award will support research to examine the mechanisms through which cell lysis and leukotriene synthesis activate type-2 immunity in the lung. Key objectives include identifying alveolar macrophages as a source of leukotriene C4 and studying how its synthesis is regulated, as well as investigating...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under CFDA Program 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research, awarded a $776,791 Project Grant to The Washington University to study the impact of sequence changes on key intrinsically disordered regions of cardiac troponin. This research aims to elucidate how mutations and post-translational modifications affecting disordered regions of the troponin complex can disrupt cardiac muscle contraction regulation, leading to diseases like...
- This federal Project Grant award, titled "Regulation of Primary and Secondary Alveologenesis by FGF Signaling Pathways", was provided by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837). The $740,317 award supports research conducted by The Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri to advance scientific understanding of alveolar development and lung regeneration. The research aims to investigate the mechanisms that regulate...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), through the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837), awarded a $188,892 Project Grant to the University of Washington to support research on the role of CD163+ blood monocytes and lung macrophages in progressive pulmonary fibrosis. This 5-year grant, starting August 1, 2025, will fund a physician-scientist's research plan that leverages the university's expertise in immunology, bioinformatics, and lung biology to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $760,759 to the University of Illinois to examine the immunoregulatory role of a specific dendritic cell subset, CX3CR1+CDC2, in allergic lung inflammation. The project aims to characterize the anti-inflammatory functions of this cell population and its impact on regulatory T cell development and the resolution of allergic asthma symptoms. Through the use of novel...
- This $773,446 Project Grant was awarded on January 15, 2025 by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to The Washington University in University City, Missouri. The grant supports research to better understand early matricellular events in the injured lung and mechanisms critical for stabilizing the provisional matrix, with the goal of identifying new treatment pathways for acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $583,233.00 and awarded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research), aims to investigate the role of circulating osteopontin (OPN) and the CD44 receptor on innate immune cells in remote lung inflammation following acute kidney injury. The overall goal is to develop novel strategies to prevent or treat secondary organ complications in multi-organ failure. Key objectives include: 1) identifying lung...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $161,890 to the University of Washington (UW) to support research on the role of alveolar macrophages in the host response to gram-negative bacterial pulmonary infections, such as those caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. The research aims to elucidate the significance of alveolar macrophages as an intracellular replication niche for Burkholderia species, as well...
- This $136,050 Project Grant was awarded on June 30, 2025 by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) program, to Tufts University School of Medicine. The grant supports research to characterize lung resident B1 cells and their impact on lung homeostasis during development. The research aims to investigate the functional role of B1 cells in developing lungs and their contribution to maintaining lung homeostasis, which...
- The University of Maryland, College Park received a $711,144 project grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to conduct research on the role of glycan-mediated interactions in the mucus barrier's ability to neutralize diverse respiratory viruses, including influenza A, rhinovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus. The project aims to determine how mucin-associated glycans dictate the structural properties and mucociliary clearance of...
The Washington University was awarded a $761,782 Project Grant from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) on September 1, 2025, with a completion date of July 31, 2029. The grant supports comprehensive research to investigate the cellular processes resulting in acquired airway ciliopathies, which are characterized by loss of cilia maintenance and impaired airway clearance observed in lung diseases such as asthma and COPD. Key objectives include tracking the loss of cilia in human tissues and mouse models, and identifying the role of basal body (BB) proteins in regulating cilia maintenance. The research aims to advance scientific understanding of cardiovascular and respiratory conditions and develop new treatment approaches.
