This Project Grant award of $379,080.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under CFDA 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research, will support a 2.5-month summer research education program at Western University of Health Sciences. The program aims to recruit and train 15 qualified, research-oriented students per year from the university's osteopathic medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, and pharmacy programs, focusing on research relevant to NIAID's...
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 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $142,599 to the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) to recruit, train, and graduate a diverse group of doctoral students in the multidisciplinary areas of molecular microbiology and immunology. The program aims to provide interdisciplinary training across host-pathogen interactions, immunology, genomics, and...
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...
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...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $258,200 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Colorado-Denver. The grant supports research to investigate the non-catalytic functions of HIV-1 integrase (IN) during virion maturation, including developing a biochemical model system to examine IN's ability to encapsulate viral RNA within capsid-like particles and determining cryo-EM structures of IN...
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), will provide $784,217 to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) - Lehman College to conduct research characterizing how cellular death signaling pathways contribute to both protective and injurious inflammation during bacterial infections. The research aims to identify novel signaling mechanisms...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $402,731 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of Washington. The objective of this R38 grant is to increase the number of next generation physician-scientists who can apply knowledge of microbiology, immunology, and research techniques to improve reproductive, maternal, and child health. The grant will support 4 physician-scientists in...
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 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under CFDA Program 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research, is focused on understanding the mechanisms by which the human immune system naturally restricts a specific subset of HIV known as X4-tropic virus. The $197,366 award, effective from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030, will support research at Washington University to (1) characterize the molecular mechanisms driving restriction of...
