This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program, provides $205,000 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to study the effects of the oral microbiome on adverse outcomes in pediatric hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. The key objectives are to determine the relationship between dental treatment, the cariogenic oral microbiome,...
This Project Grant award of $498,238 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support a longitudinal study investigating the oral microbiome in children undergoing hematopoietic cell transplants (HCT) at Nationwide Children's Hospital. The key objectives are to: 1) Define changes in the oral microbial community at the species level and relate these changes to the development and progression...
This $314,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support research to gain insights into the evolution of fungal resistance in the oral environment of HIV-positive individuals. The research will leverage an existing patient dataset to: 1) use long-read sequencing to profile the fungal mycobiome in patient saliva and caries samples, and 2) perform longitudinal...
This Project Grant award of $198,000.00 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support a research study at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to examine how one's background and socioeconomic factors shape oral microbial diversity and determine the extent to which these microbes contribute to oral health differences in the United States. The study will utilize 16S ribosomal...
This Project Grant award of $155,500 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support a comprehensive examination of the oral virome and its interactions with the oral microbiome. The research aims to shed light on the role of viruses in maintaining oral health and contributing to disease, with the goal of illuminating a neglected aspect of the oral microenvironment and potentially...
This $598,940 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) aims to characterize the longitudinal events of oral high-risk human papillomavirus (OHR-HPV) infection among an at-risk population of non-heterosexual males living with or without HIV in Nigeria. The primary objectives are to: 1) determine the association between HIV clinical markers, oral-anogenital contact, and...
This federal Project Grant award of $429,000.00 was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program. The grant supports research to determine the functional roles and mechanisms of the human microbiome and metabolome in the pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a prevalent and lethal form of head and neck cancer. The research aims to 1) define OSCC-associated metagenomic and...
This federal Project Grant award of $2,740,126, provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research to investigate the mechanisms by which HIV infection contributes to the development of oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) in people living with HIV (PWH). The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the HPV types present in OPC from PWH and how T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity is impaired;...
This $433,125 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program, will fund research to investigate the potential biological factors underlying the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and dental caries in children. The study aims to examine the relationships among ACEs, the oral microbiome, dental caries, and salivary stress and immunological biomarkers in children....
This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the federal Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $1,376,850 to conduct research on interventions to protect HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants against severe infections. The research aims to: Define immunogenomic and metabolomic profiles that explain HEU immune dysfunctions; Compare gut and respiratory microbiome...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $315,000 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct a longitudinal study on the oral microbiome of HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU), HIV-positive, and HIV-unexposed uninfected children aged 3-4 in Western Kenya. The study will collect and analyze 1,080 oral swab samples over one year to understand how the oral microbiome of HEU children changes during primary dentition, compared to the other two cohorts. This research aims to lay the foundation for potential microbiota-targeted interventions to improve oral health outcomes for HEU children in resource-limited regions. The award period runs from Sep 20, 2024 to Aug 31, 2026.
