## What the grant funds

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks to advance its mission by supporting multidisciplinary, consortium-based research using precision systems biology approaches to uncover links among chronic illnesses, infectious diseases and microbiomes. There is an urgent scientific and clinical need to understand the pathways by which infections lead to chronic lifelong health issues or alternatively, how long-term illnesses might predispose or exacerbate acute infections. The objective is to harness cutting-edge technologies along with longitudinal patient cohorts and biobank data for comprehensive analysis of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors leading to advances in prevention and treatment strategies for both chronic and infectious diseases. The cutting-edge technologies may include multi-omics, computational modeling, artificial intelligence, organoid-based validation systems, and integration of real-world data, alongside improved access to digital health records and advanced clinical informatics tools. The goal is to generate meaningful insights into disease progression and host-pathogen interactions. Grant authorities that allow NIAID to forecast this opportunity are as follows: Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.
