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 Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development awarded a $749,999 Project Grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation to develop a new approach methodology based on high-throughput in vitro air-blood barrier arrays to predict respiratory tract inflammation risk. Funded under the Science to Achieve Results Research Program, the three-year award beginning September 1, 2022 aims to produce defined polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and secondary organic aerosol component and...
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) program, aims to define the neurotoxic and neurodevelopmental health risks associated with exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The $546,350 grant, awarded on January 13, 2025, will support a research study to investigate the mechanisms of PFAS uptake by neurons, the neurotoxic effects of PFAS exposure, and the impacts of PFAS on...
This Project Grant award of $1,600,000 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program aims to test engineering controls for the continued beneficial use of biosolids on agricultural soil. The key activities include: Modeling per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) solid-water coefficients and soil properties with and without powdered activated carbon. Developing machine learning models to predict PFAS accumulation. Evaluating the...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $1,600,000 Science to Achieve Results (STAR) research grant (CFDA #66.509) to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) to comprehensively understand per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) uptake and bioaccumulation in plants across various nutrient conditions. The project aims to advance strategies for PFAS remediation in biosolids/soil, minimize PFAS uptake by plants, and develop real-time monitoring tools for PFAS in...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded Purdue University a $1,968,864 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The goal of this 5-year research project is to evaluate and compare the neurotoxic impacts of exposure to various per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including legacy chemicals like PFOA and replacement compounds like PFBA and GenX. The research will use zebrafish and human induced pluripotent stem cell...
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...
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...
This $1,598,849 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) aims to understand per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) partitioning in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) biosolids, PFAS accumulation in agricultural soils, and potential mitigation strategies.
