This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $249,000 to National Jewish Health to identify common and distinct metabolic and proteomic pathways associated with inflammation and fibrosis in pulmonary sarcoidosis. The research aims to define molecular endotypes among pulmonary sarcoidosis patients and establish a framework for shared pathway analysis to identify biomarkers for fibrotic sarcoidosis and its progression. The project will leverage plasma specimens from the ACCESS and LTRC studies to perform metabolomic and proteomic profiling, with additional validation using the UK Biobank. The long-term goal is to utilize blood-based signatures to identify individuals with pulmonary sarcoidosis at risk of developing fibrosis. The award period is from Jul 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2027.
