The National Institutes of Health is offering a grant to support research on the genetic, epigenetic, and immunological factors protecting against tuberculosis in individuals exposed to the disease and infected with HIV. This grant aims to identify genetic and epigenetic influences, as well as innate immune system characteristics that contribute to protection from latent tuberculosis infection. Emphasis is placed on multidisciplinary collaboration and the use of clinical studies and functional experiments within well-defined cohorts. The closing date for applications is July 22, 2015.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support studies characterizing the genetic, epigenetic, and/or immunological correlates of protection against tuberculosis infection in highly-exposed but resistant individuals, and the interaction of these correlates with HIV infection. Studies may include identification of underlying genetic or epigenetic factors, as well as characteristics of the innate immune system and related regulatory genes and signaling pathways that play a role in protection from latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).Multidisciplinary collaboration is encouraged, incorporating clinical studies coupled with functional experiments using samples and data from well-defined cohorts. |
