This federal Project Grant award of $612,328 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research to enhance the understanding of mast cell lineage commitment and function. The research aims to determine how the transcription factor MITF maintains mast cell-specific gene expression and suppresses basophil-specific gene expression, as well as evaluate the functional deficiencies of mast...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $101,577 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Michigan State University (MSU) to investigate the mechanisms by which early life adversity alters mast cell programming and inflammatory activity through modulation of cholesterol metabolism. The research aims to define how early life stress developmentally heightens the mast cell pro-inflammatory phenotype, which...
This federal 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 $806,693.00 to New York University (NYU) from June 12, 2025 to May 31, 2030. The grant supports research to elucidate the mechanisms governing lymphangiogenesis (growth of lymphatic vessels) in acute and homeostatic inflammation, and to determine the functional consequences of lymphatic encapsulation of B...
This Project Grant award, valued at $162,000.00, was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The award supports research at Indiana University Indianapolis to investigate the role of TGF-beta signaling in regulating T follicular helper (Tfh) cell differentiation and mast cell function, with the goal of better understanding the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. Key objectives include...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $612,917 and awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to elucidate the role of the inhibitory receptor Siglec-9 in modulating mast cell function and its potential for therapeutic targeting in mast cell-associated disorders. The awardee, Seattle Children's Hospital (doing business as Seattle Children's Research Institute), will...
This $751,138 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) supports research to determine how the metabolism of dendritic cells, a type of immune cell, regulates inflammatory immune responses. The central hypothesis is that the activity of the enzyme glutaminase in dendritic cells controls their ability to activate pro-inflammatory T cells versus regulatory T...
This federal 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 $831,755 over 5 years to New York University (NYU) to conduct research on the role of lung-resident macrophage subsets in regulating type 2 immune responses and trained immunity. The research aims to elucidate the distinct functions of different macrophage populations, particularly nerve- and...
This $197,160 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to define the mechanisms by which extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness regulates the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages. The project aims to: 1) Define how ECM stiffness regulates the transcription factor NRF2 activity in vitro; and 2) Determine the role of NRF2 regulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in fibrotic interstitial lung...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $2,205,213 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) program to the Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. The grant, titled "Deciphering Immunopathogenesis of Mucormycosis to Advance Risk Stratification, Diagnosis and Management of the Disease", aims to improve understanding of the immune response and pathogenesis of mucormycosis, a...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York aims to understand the cellular mechanisms that regulate lymph node maintenance and atrophy during aging. The $513,957 award will support research to investigate the role of lymphatic endothelial cell NF-κB signaling in adult lymph node homeostasis. Key objectives include determining the effects of aging on lymph node lymphatic...

This federal 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 $497,136 to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research to conduct research on the role of mast cells in regulating the inflammatory pathology of secondary lymphedema. The research aims to investigate how lymphatic injury induces the expression of mast cell activators and Th2-inducing proteins by keratinocytes, which then facilitate the recruitment and activation of mast cells, thereby amplifying CD4+ Th2 inflammatory responses in lymphedema. The project will use patient tissues and animal models to perform spatiotemporal and single-cell RNA sequencing analyses, and explore the roles of lymph fluid and keratinocytes on mast cell activation. The findings from this 2-year research project have the potential to improve the understanding of lymphedema pathology and lead to the development of novel treatments for this debilitating condition.
