The award funds a two-tiered training curriculum designed to prepare three graduate students and two post-doctoral researchers for up to...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $201,744 on June 4, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to support a five-year research and training project investigating the distinct roles of NR4A1 and NR4A3 transcription factors in thymic T cell tolerance. The research aims to understand how NR4A transcription factors—whose expression scales with self-reactivity—translate T...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded Baylor College of Medicine $452,128 on September 1, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to support research training in infection and immunity. The award funds the Baylor College of Medicine Research Training in Infection and Immunity program, which will train four MD, MD/PhD, or PhD postdoctoral fellows annually for two years of mentored research training. The program provides a...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $666,065 on June 1, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to investigate the molecular basis for immunogenic B cell responses to virus-like antigen display. The research leverages a modular platform of liposomes decorated with model antigens to independently control epitope affinity and density. The work aims to identify proximal...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $182,196 on June 4, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to develop antibody-driven bioconjugation methods that chemically modify primary immune cells and disease-associated proteins to redirect cytotoxicity toward diseased cells as an alternative to genetic engineering approaches. The award funds synthesis and characterization...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded $201,744 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco on April 15, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to fund research into transcriptional mechanisms that drive dysregulated type 17 mucosal inflammation via innate lymphoid cells. The project investigates how group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) trigger and sustain aberrant type 17 immune responses in chronic...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded the University of California, San Diego a $3.19 million Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) on July 16, 2025, with a completion date of June 30, 2029. This grant funds investigator-initiated biomedical research examining the roles and regulation of tissue-resident CD8 T cells during persistent viral infection, utilizing the lymphocytic...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $813,236 on August 17, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to elucidate cell signaling determinants of human regulatory T cell (Treg) persistence. The research investigates mechanisms controlling Treg survival and function, focusing on improved persistence as a barrier to therapeutic efficacy in Treg cell therapies for autoimmune,...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $874,531 on May 11, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to model dynamic CD8+ T cell–virus interactions in post-treatment control of HIV. The project comprehensively defines mechanistic features of CD8+ T cell responses that most strongly relate to control of HIV after stopping antiretroviral therapy. Research will examine...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $504,547 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) on August 6, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855, Project Grant T32AI200899). The award funds the UCSF Immunology Training Program (ITP), which provides structured training to approximately 5–6 graduate students per year (3 per cohort) and 2–3 postdoctoral scientists per year selected from diverse educational backgrounds for the ITP's T32-supported Immunology Leadership Path. Training encompasses molecular, cellular, and tissue immunology research across 49 participating laboratories. The curriculum includes formal coursework in genetics, cell biology, tissue biology, and quantitative approaches, deep training in modern immunology across innate immunity, lymphocyte selection and differentiation, cytokine biology, immune cell signaling and migration, autoimmunity, allergy, inflammatory disease, tumor immunology, immune cell engineering, and immune defense against infectious agents. Trainees participate in a weekly seminar series featuring outside speakers, student-postdoc-faculty journal clubs, an annual joint immunology retreat with UC Berkeley, and advanced immunology courses. Postdoctoral scientists receive additional training through a research-in-progress series. All trainees receive formal and informal training in research rigor, reproducibility, and communication skills, with exposure to career paths in immunology-related fields. Faculty participate in mentor training. Period of performance runs through July 31, 2031. Work is performed in San Francisco, California.
