This Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Development, under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509), provides $749,926 to design and engineer an in vitro three-dimensional cell culture integrated into a flow-cell bioreactor. This system will be used to conduct toxicological assessments of environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures found in food. The University of Houston will utilize human, mice, and pig...
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded New York University $400,000 under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program for a three-year project grant concluding in August 2025. The goal of the research is to develop and validate novel passive sampling designs that can measure a diverse suite of air toxics and contaminants of emerging concern in ambient urban air at low detection limits. Activities include refining polyethylene films for passive air sampling of hazardous...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded $750,000 under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program to Texas A&M University for a three-year project grant concluding in August 2025. The goal of the project is to develop a tiered hybrid experimental-computational strategy for rapid risk assessment of complex environmental mixtures and unknown variable composition substances. Key products and services include evaluation of chemical mixture compositions and hazards...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program provides $419,011 to Emory University to develop innovative dimension reduction techniques for assessing the combined health effects of air pollution mixtures. The research aims to quantify the tangible health impacts of different air pollutant combinations, including criteria pollutants, fine particulates, and volatile organic...
This $1,349,998 Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA #66.509) supports research by Emory University to understand cumulative health impacts from chemical and non-chemical exposures exacerbated by climate change in vulnerable Atlanta communities. The research will develop a neighborhood-level index mapping cumulative exposures and their effects on health. It will examine how individuals with chronic diseases perceive and...
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. was awarded a $750,000 Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program to develop a Quantitative Adverse Outcome Pathway (QAOP) network for assessing developmental neurotoxicity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance mixtures. Leveraging the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as an invertebrate in vivo model, the Foundation will construct an...
This $498,401 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 under the Surveys, Studies, Research, Investigations, Demonstrations, and Special Purpose Activities Relating to the Clean Air Act (CFDA 66.034) program will fund the Center for Sustainable Communities, Inc. to monitor their own air quality and promote air quality monitoring partnerships between communities and state/local governments. The key activities include leveraging existing air quality expertise,...
This $725,481 Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Program will fund research at Purdue University to study per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mixtures. The research team will quantify binding of individual PFAS and their mixtures to hemoglobin using in silico, in vitro, and in vivo tools. They aim to determine if PFAS mixture toxicity deviates from additivity and validate computational models of PFAS-hemoglobin binding affinity....
The National Institutes of Health National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded a $924,612 Project Grant to the California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant will fund research from August 2022 to July 2025 to advance chemical risk assessment and predictive toxicology through the development, validation and integration of high-throughput mechanistic in vitro assays. Specifically, the grantee will...
This $157,667 federal Project Grant awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) aims to develop a predicted reaction network for describing the environmental lifecycle of persistent biological transformation products of chemicals. The project will integrate new approach methodologies and leverage computational techniques, such as machine learning, to select critical and stable biological transformation products...
