This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) provides $190,058 to the University of Massachusetts Medical School to investigate the role of the ADAM9 protein in the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The goal is to define how ADAM9 impacts the immunopathogenesis of severe COVID-19 and its effects on acute lung injury. The research will build on the grantee's preliminary findings...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $247,750 to support structural investigations of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The research aims to characterize how glycosylation (the addition of sugar molecules) of the spike protein affects its structure and function, which is critical for virus entry and immune system interactions. This research will...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College (UVM) in the amount of $438,983. The award, which runs from July 8, 2025 to June 30, 2027, will fund research to study the biological impact of a stable nucleocapsid (N) protein dimer formation in SARS-CoV-2. Specifically, the research aims to characterize viral growth...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $188,544 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to The University of Iowa. The grant will fund research to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying SARS-CoV-2 infection and innate immune regulation. Specifically, the project aims to examine the role of the protein SAMHD1 in regulating SARS-CoV-2-induced inflammation in primary human airway epithelial cell...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $867,563 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Rockefeller University. The grant supports the development of a pioneering class of nanobodies engineered from llama immune systems to provide comprehensive protection against all betacoronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2. Key goals include strategically expanding nanobody repertoires, identifying...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855), provides $489,500 to support structural studies of the full-length nucleocapsid (N) protein of SARS-CoV-2. The goal is to determine the high-resolution structure of the full-length N protein in complex with the viral RNA using cryogenic electron microscopy. This research aims to advance the understanding of the...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded Oklahoma State University a Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855) to develop a synthetic miR-7702 as a potential therapeutic for SARS-CoV-2 infection. The $411,400 award, granted on July 10, 2025, will support research to delineate the mechanism by which miR-7702 inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and evaluate the in vivo toxicity, biodistribution, and therapeutic...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a Project Grant (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) totaling $237,165 to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RFSUNY), doing business as SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University. The grant, effective from November 14, 2024 to October 31, 2026, will support research to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of viral internal ribosomal entry site (IRES)-mediated translation...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $899,935 to the Scripps Research Institute to identify novel B cell epitopes on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and other human coronaviruses. The goal is to uncover broadly neutralizing antibody epitopes that can inform the design of next-generation COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics, enhancing pandemic preparedness. The...
This federal Project Grant award of $705,557 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to better understand the coordination of innate and cellular mucosal immunity in SARS-CoV-2 clearance. The primary objectives are to determine the contribution of monocytes in promoting T cell responses and viral control within the respiratory tract, and to define the effector mechanisms of...
