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 $140,733 to The Salk Institute for Biological Studies to conduct structural and biochemical studies on how retroviruses like HIV and MMTV integrate their viral DNA into host chromatin. The research aims to mechanistically interrogate the intasome complex that catalyzes retroviral integration, using novel nucleosome...
This Project Grant award of $1,454,386.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports fundamental research to better understand the epigenetic regulation of the HIV-1 viral RNA cap. The research aims to define the structural basis of HIV cap hypermethylation and its linkage to modulating host innate immune signaling, with the goal of developing new treatments to neutralize deleterious...
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 $847,141 to investigate the role of HIV-1 integrase (IN) in virion morphogenesis and target it with novel allosteric integrase inhibitors. The research aims to delineate the sequence and structural features of viral RNA recognized by HIV-1 IN and determine cryo-EM structures of IN tetramers bound to cognate viral RNA...
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 $220,224 to the University of Chicago to computationally investigate key morphological transitions in the HIV-1 life cycle. The research aims to gain a deeper mechanistic understanding of HIV assembly, maturation, and uncoating processes, with a focus on the roles of viral RNA, host cell factors, and...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $769,414 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to The University of Iowa. The grant, awarded on July 9, 2025, will support research investigating how the cellular protein SAMHD1 regulates innate immune responses and HIV-1 gene expression in macrophages. The research aims to define the mechanisms by which SAMHD1 suppresses type I interferon induction and NF-kB activation...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to investigate the dynamics and evolution of HIV Gag and GagPol processing. The $752,745 award aims to use molecular dynamics simulations, single-molecule FRET imaging, and cryo-electron tomography to probe the structure and dynamics of Gag and GagPol that enable ordered processing by the viral...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has awarded a $781,367 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to Weill Medical College of Cornell University. The grant, awarded on January 25, 2024, will support research to define and maximize the impact of CD8+ T-cell selection on the landscape of HIV integration sites. The goal is to optimize strategies for eradicating the persistent reservoir of HIV-infected cells and achieve...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has awarded Colorado State University a $340,408 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to develop and validate an assay for precision antiretroviral therapy to combat drug resistance in HIV patients. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Improving the throughput and capacity of an existing infectivity assay using proviral constructs with an H2B-mRFP...
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 $653,693 to Emory University to conduct research on the structural details of HIV-1 virion assembly, maturation, and entry. The work will leverage cryo-electron microscopy and tomography to interrogate the molecular determinants and cellular interactions involved in the HIV-1 capsid lattice formation and...
The University of Colorado-Denver received a $782,871 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). The grant supports research to define mechanisms by which arthritogenic alphaviruses, such as chikungunya and Ross River viruses, evade CD8+ T cell-mediated clearance. The research aims to investigate how type I interferon signaling restricts myeloid cell infection...
