The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $936,000 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Colorado-Denver. The 5-year grant, which commenced on August 12, 2024, will support research to elucidate the regulation and function of tissue-resident eosinophils in allergic microenvironments. The project aims to 1) target cell cycle machinery to manipulate eosinophil specialization, 2) delineate pre-...
This Project Grant award of $634,984 from 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 a specific B cell subset, termed BND2, in the rapid progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in young-onset patients. The primary objectives are to: 1) determine the mechanism by which these autoreactive B cells become activated and break anergy, 2) assess their potential to...
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 $318,085 to support research on the role of antibodies in controlling virus infections through Fc-dependent mechanisms such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and complement-dependent cytolysis (CDC). The research aims to elucidate the...
This federal Project Grant award of $586,250 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) will support research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMass Medical) to investigate the generation and regulation of TFH13 cells that drive pathogenic IgE in allergic conditions. The overarching goal is to elucidate the pathways leading to TFH13 cell differentiation, which play a critical...
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 $416,276 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to conduct research aimed at increasing the protective capacity of antibodies by enhancing Fc-mediated immune responses. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify how factors such as epitope location, antibody glycosylation, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under CFDA Program 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research, is funding a $556,843 research initiative at the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the development and regulation of the extrafollicular B cell response. The key objectives are to: Examine the role of B cells in enhancing the extrafollicular response and test the self-renewal capacity of the extrafollicular B cell population....
This Project Grant award, valued at $792,687.00 and issued by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to define the structural features of sialoglycans necessary for influenza A virus (IAV) infection and adaptation across various host species. The key activities under this award include: 1) using CRISPR/Cas9 techniques to truncate different types of sialoglycans in human lung...
This $134,269 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The grant supports research led by the Trustees of Tufts College, doing business as Tufts University School of Medicine, to characterize the structure and antigenic properties of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) glycoprotein B (GB) in its prefusion state. The research aims to identify and isolate novel...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research to examine the role of B cell-dependent regulatory T cells in maintaining B cell tolerance and preventing autoimmunity. The $807,799 award to the University of Chicago aims to identify B cell-dependent regulatory T cell clones, define their developmental requirements and functions, and determine the...
This $926,057 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research is supporting research to understand how the gut microbiota influences immune responses, particularly B-cell development and antibody production, following vaccination. The project aims to identify gut stromal cell populations and microbial components that are crucial for enhancing stromal cell function and promoting improved...

This $225,953 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research aims to define the characteristics of human B cells that specifically target foreign glycans, known as xenoglycans. The funded research will use antigen-specific tetramers to identify and isolate distinct populations of xenoglycan-reactive B cells and compare their phenotypic and functional properties to protein-reactive B cells. The project will also generate monoclonal antibodies to further characterize the xenoglycan-specific B cell repertoire and affinity maturation. This work is expected to provide critical insights into the nature of glycan-reactive B cells and inform strategies for harnessing these specificities for vaccination and immunotherapy, including for conditions like tick-borne alpha-gal syndrome. The award was made to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado-Denver, and has a performance period from July 2025 to June 2027.
