Since 2003, NIAID has substantially increased its support for food allergy research, from basic research in allergy and immunology to epidemiological and observational studies to identify risk factors and clinical trials that are testing new strategies to prevent and treat food allergy.
Through the information offered here, researchers can learn about the science being conducted at NIAID and by NIAID-funded researchers. Researchers seeking funding can access opportunities to further their own research, while NIAID and NIH grantees can find out about available resources outside of specific funding opportunities. Recent publications, active networks, and ways to connect with other researchers are also available.

NIAID Renews Consortium for Food Allergy Research in Its 19th Year
NIAID has awarded 11 new cooperative agreements to support the Consortium for Food Allergy Research, or CoFAR, in the latest renewal of the program since its establishment 19 years ago. The institute expects to fund the awards with more than $11 million annually for seven years, contingent upon the availability of funds.
CoFAR’s goal is to conduct groundbreaking clinical research on food allergy food allergy prevention and therapy and on the biological mechanisms underlying food allergy.
