Four carefully selected...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The University of Kentucky Research Foundation $181,103 on June 1, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to conduct mechanistic and transcriptomic modeling comparing aztreonam/avibactam versus aztreonam plus ceftazidime/avibactam in treating Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections. The research addresses treatment optimization for this multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacterium, which...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The University of Kentucky Research Foundation $144,825 on August 10, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to support predoctoral trainee stipends and related costs for a transdisciplinary training program in microbiology and immunology. The program supports three predoctoral trainees per year, selected from PhD candidates in their third or fourth year of study across 18 faculty mentors at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. Trainees are appointed for two-year periods and participate in the Transdisciplinary Training in Microbiology and Immunology (TTMI) initiative, which is integrated with the Consortium for Understanding and Reducing Infectious Diseases in Kentucky (CURE-KY). The defining element of the program requires each trainee to propose an additional dissertation subaim involving collaboration with a researcher outside their primary mentor's field. Trainees also attend monthly interactive workshops on topics including responsible conduct of research, rigor and reproducibility in experimental design, and strategies for maintaining scientific collaborations. The selection committee comprises the two program directors and faculty from the colleges of medicine, agriculture, pharmacy, and public health. The award period runs through July 31, 2031, with place of performance in Lexington, Kentucky. This is a project grant under the assistance type classification.
