This Project Grant award of $282,862, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), supports a collaborative research effort between Oklahoma State University (OSU) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the health risks of e-cigarettes and cannabis aerosols, particularly those containing unregulated synthetic cooling agents.

The project aims to: (1) quantify exposure and toxicity levels of various vaping aerosol components, (2) assess variability in lung responses using an advanced in vitro artificial lung system, and (3) build and validate a next-generation in vitro artificial lung system at OSU. The research will provide critical data and methodologies to guide public health policies addressing the risks of emerging, underregulated vaping products. The project also includes outreach activities and courses to integrate cutting-edge aerosol exposure research into STEM education, particularly benefiting underserved Native American communities in Oklahoma. This award will enhance OSU's research infrastructure and foster new collaborations in public health.
