This $749,291 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program supports research at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) to investigate how exposure to multipollutant mixtures, including chemicals like PFAS and PCBs, affects stress levels in individuals and communities. The interdisciplinary study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the collective impact of these pollutants and the role of social, economic, and behavioral factors in exposure patterns and health outcomes. Key objectives include developing better risk assessment methods and informing policy strategies to protect public health, especially in vulnerable communities. The project includes a subaward to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to provide expertise on measurement models and longitudinal analysis of the social and behavioral variables. This award, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2027, aligns with the Integrative Activities program's goals of enhancing research capabilities, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and addressing complex societal challenges.
