- The University of Michigan was awarded a $526,627 Project Grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) on June 20, 2025 under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The grant supports research to investigate the mechanisms of impaired epithelial regeneration and fibrosis after silica dust inhalation, which can lead to progressive fibrotic lung diseases like silicosis and asbestosis. The research aims to better understand the critical...
- This $5,453,538 Project Grant was awarded on September 15, 2025 by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), which administers the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The grant was awarded to New York University School of Medicine to investigate the accumulation of micro- and nanoplastic particles in mammalian tissues, including human exposure pathways, tissue deposition, and potential health impacts. Key objectives include quantifying MNP...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), awarded a $313,372 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to ITA International LLC. The award, granted on June 3, 2025, supports the development of new methodologies for quantifying airborne ultrafine particulates (UFPs), microplastics (MNPs), and engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in production environments. This research aims to address gaps...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) will support research to characterize the risk and protective effects of environmental co-exposures, such as lead and psychosocial factors, on cardiometabolic health in adolescents and young adults. The $214,986 award will fund a study examining the joint effects of early life toxicant and psychosocial exposures on physiological stress...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, is supporting research to investigate the genetic mechanisms underlying maladaptive respiratory responses to air pollution, specifically ozone (O3) exposure. The $671,165 award, spanning January 1, 2025 to October 31, 2029, will enable researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to: Profile the transcriptomes and...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $108,514 project grant to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to characterize the pathway by which nanoplastics can be transported from the nose into the central nervous system (CNS). The key research objectives are to investigate the cells involved in this "nose-to-brain" pathway and determine how factors such as sex, age,...
- The Project Grant award of $3,133,754 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS, CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) aims to comprehensively assess the exposome (a person's cumulative lifetime exposures) and epigenome in a Michigan cohort to determine how they associate with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) risk and survival. The research, conducted by the Regents of the University of Michigan, seeks to gain insight into ALS disease etiology by examining the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), provides $3,082,011 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to conduct research aimed at identifying gene-environment interactions with exposure to the air pollutant ozone that contribute to respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD. The project will utilize genetically diverse mouse populations as a discovery...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $558,380 Project Grant under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) to develop the GEOSPACE Geospatial Knowledgebase for Exposomics. This four-year project, starting February 1, 2025, aims to create an integrated biomedical knowledgebase and geospatial data science ecosystem to facilitate robust exposomic studies. The key products include: A...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a Project Grant under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, totaling $280,125 as of the award date of September 10, 2025. This 5-year project grant will support Dr. Amarbir S. Gill's research to develop a translational research program that employs advanced molecular laboratory techniques to elucidate the effects of environmental exposures, particularly particulate matter, on sinonasal epithelial barrier dysfunction in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The research aims to improve understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms driving CRS pathophysiology and identify potential management strategies, addressing a critical knowledge gap given the high prevalence and significant morbidity associated with this condition.
