Triad National Security, LLC received a $520,223 Project Grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), awarded on June 19, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2028. The primary deliverable is environmental sampling and analysis of soil samples collected throughout New Mexico to identify the geographical distribution of the fungal pathogen Coccidioides species, which causes coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever). The research will characterize which ecosystems in New Mexico support the growth of Coccidioides species and assess potential hybridization zones between the two species endemic to the state. This project addresses a significant public health gap, as New Mexico has been considered endemic to coccidioidomycosis since the 1940s but reports far fewer cases annually than neighboring Arizona despite similar climate and ecological conditions, suggesting substantial underreporting. The research will generate preliminary epidemiological and ecological data to improve disease awareness, identify at-risk populations, and provide a scientific foundation for understanding the health burden of coccidioidomycosis in New Mexico. Performance of the work will be conducted in Los Alamos, New Mexico.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
