Project Grant R21HL142485

This R21 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $433,950 to the University of California, Davis to study the impact of wildfire smoke exposure on lung injury and disease in pediatric populations. The key objectives are to: 1) Define the contribution of age on the toxicity of wood smoke particles in respiratory and alveolar epithelium, 2) Investigate the effect of early life wood...

This $720,855 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) supports the "ENDS Aerosol Particle Deposition, In Utero Exposures and Children's Respiratory Health Effects (ENDURE)" research consortium. The project aims to investigate the deposition of electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) aerosols in human airways and the resulting respiratory health effects on offspring...

This $619,477 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research to investigate the impact of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) exposure, both direct and in-utero, on vascular function and cognitive decline. The research, conducted by the West Virginia University Research Corporation, aims to establish the dose-dependent effects of e-cigarette exposure on vascular dysfunction and...

This Project Grant award of $1,315,596.00 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) aims to use animal models to understand how maternal exposure to electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) aerosols during pregnancy impacts addiction-related behaviors and neurocircuitry in offspring. The project will examine the effects of maternal inhalational exposure to commercial ENDS aerosols (fruit- and tobacco-flavored) on...

This Project Grant award, valued at $282,862 and awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), supports research at Oklahoma State University (OSU) to investigate the health risks of e-cigarettes and cannabis aerosols, particularly those containing unregulated synthetic cooling agents. The key objectives of this 2-year project are to: (1) quantify exposure and toxicity levels of various vaping aerosol components, (2) assess variability...

The federal Project Grant award of $900,000.00 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research to investigate the impacts of prenatal exposures to copper from electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) aerosols on the neonatal pulmonary immune system and IL-10-mediated asthmatic responses. The research, conducted by Louisiana State University, aims to define the mechanisms by which prenatal ENDS exposure modulates the neonatal...

The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) was awarded a $1,197,896 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act Regulatory Research program (CFDA 93.077). The objective of this 5-year longitudinal study is to use real-time ecological momentary assessment (EMA) methods to better understand the impact of electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) product characteristics, such as...

This $317,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RFSUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University. The grant aims to establish a screening system and identify histone modulation enzymes critical for e-cigarette-promoted oncogenes and pro-inflammatory genes, as well as to establish an...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), will support research to evaluate associations between prenatal exposure to wildfire smoke particulate matter (PM2.5) and early life airway health outcomes in children under 24 months of age. The $155,500 award to the University of Washington will fund a 2-year study across nationwide ECHO program cohorts to: 1) assess risks of...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), is funding research to investigate the toxic effects of vaping a vitamin E acetate compound (A-T-acetate) and the generation of a novel high molecular weight compound from vaping this substance. The researchers at the Trustees of Indiana University will use the $230,618 in funding to conduct experimental studies to determine...
