- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded the American Foundation For Biological Research, doing business as the Biomedical Research Institute, $1.8 million on July 1, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to operate the Schistosomiasis Resource Center. The Resource Center propagates three medically important Schistosoma species—S. haematobium, S. japonicum, and S. mansoni—and distributes infected hosts (rodents and snails) and...
- The National Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded Wright State University $348,700 on September 24, 2025, under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to purchase and install a reverse osmosis water treatment system in the university's Laboratory Animal Resources vivarium. The system will supply treated drinking water to all research animals and consists of a water softener for pretreatment, a reverse osmosis unit designed to remove 99 percent of contaminants and...
- The National Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded Cornell University $349,982 under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) on September 1, 2026 to advance germ-free and gnotobiotic mouse husbandry operations at the Cornell Center for Animal Resources and Education. The award funds the acquisition of isolator caging systems and biosafety changing systems designed to maintain sterile germ-free environments for research mice. The isolator systems feature enhanced ports...
- The National Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded the University of Delaware $349,827 on August 15, 2026, under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to procure and install individually ventilated caging (IVC) systems and filtered animal handling transfer cabinets at the Life Sciences Research Facility (LSRF) in Newark, Delaware. The LSRF, which serves over 30 principal investigators and multiple NIH-funded programs, has experienced 70 percent growth in animal housing...
- The National Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston $338,463 on May 15, 2026, under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to acquire a preparative and analytical high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system for producing standardized soluble protein aggregates associated with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The HPLC system will enable production of high-quality, rigorously standardized amyloid and...
The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded $190,745 to The Mclaughlin Research Institute For Biomedical Sciences, Inc. on September 1, 2026, under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351). The award funds the purchase and installation of a Tecniplast ESP processing system to modernize bottle processing within the institute's Animal Resource Center. The current manual capping of water bottles for mouse cages creates ergonomic strain on cage wash technicians' wrists and forearms; the automated system will reduce this occupational stress while increasing processing efficiency. The ARC facility, which occupies approximately 13,000 square feet, currently operates at or near capacity constraints due to bottleneck in the cage wash workflow; improving bottle processing flow will increase facility throughput to support expanded research operations. The Mclaughlin Research Institute, located in Great Falls, Montana, is a nonprofit biomedical research organization that specializes in research models for neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease and prion disease. The institute recently established a collaborative partnership with Touro University's College of Osteopathic Medicine in Great Falls (launched in 2023) and received an NIH Center of Biomedical Research Excellence grant in 2024. Work is performed at the Great Falls, Montana location. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027.
