- This $412,581 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 to define the roles of specialized mitochondrial DNA polymerases (POLIB and POLID) in the replication and maintenance of the complex kinetoplast DNA network of African trypanosomes. These parasites cause neglected tropical diseases such as human African trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease,...
- The University of Pittsburgh was awarded a $379,609 Project Grant by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) to investigate how the immune system establishes homeostasis with commensal microbes. The research aims to understand the mechanisms through which B cells balance the need for a diverse repertoire with maintaining self-tolerance, including the potential role of anergized B cells in this process. The award period is...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $243,235 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to The Johns Hopkins University. This grant will fund the development and validation of direct-from-sample whole genome sequencing methods for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) to support expanded genomic surveillance of NG and other bacterial sexually transmitted infections in populations with high HIV burdens in Eastern and...
- This federal Project Grant award, titled "PTSOMICS - MACHINE LEARNING-DRIVEN DISCOVERY AND ANALYSIS OF POLYMORPHIC TOXIN AND EFFECTOR SYSTEMS", was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855). The $416,625 award supports research to develop innovative machine learning approaches for identifying and characterizing novel bacterial protein toxins and effector systems,...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $212,169 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855) to The Johns Hopkins University to advance mentorship at the Johns Hopkins Integrated Center for Combating Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria. The project summary indicates the principal investigator has conducted pivotal research on antimicrobial resistant infections, leading to clinical guidelines, and has...
- The federal Project Grant award for "PHYLOGENETICS, CAUSAL INFERENCE, AND MODEL DIAGNOSTICS FOR LONGITUDINAL STUDIES OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE TRANSMISSION AND CONTROL" was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.855). The $537,861 award will support research to extend statistical methods for studying disease transmission in households and other close contact groups....
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $822,015 Project Grant titled "NOVEL STATISTICAL METHODS FOR CONFOUNDED AND INCOMPLETE NETWORK DATA" to the University of Pennsylvania. This grant, provided under the NIAID's Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), will fund the development of new statistical methodologies to address challenges posed by missing data, confounding, and complex social network structures in studies of public...
- This $427,625 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) supports research focused on analyzing the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genomic research on the human virome. The project aims to: 1) Integrate bioethics work with NIAID's viromics research to examine the ethical implications of this research, and 2) Address ELSI and policy issues that arise from the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $422,814.00 was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) program. The project aims to develop and apply adversarial machine learning methods to predict the risk of animal viruses spilling over into humans, accounting for virus evolution. Key objectives include (i) predicting human-infection risk for viral sequence variants, (ii) characterizing and...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded a $371,141 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh to develop, deploy, and evaluate a continuing education program called "FUNDAMENTALS IN BIOINFORMATICS (FUNINBIO)" that addresses bioinformatics skills gaps in post-doctoral scientists. The FUNINBIO program will provide a three-part curriculum covering programming fundamentals, an in-person short course on comparative genomics, and customized online training modules. The program aims to train early-career scientists in bioinformatics while engaging them in a citizen science research project on the environmental component of antibiotic resistance. The award has an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2030 and falls under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855).
