Project Grant K23ES027026

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $701,902 to conduct research on the link between prenatal exposure to air pollution and childhood social anxiety symptoms. The research will be carried out by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, with the goal of identifying how prenatal exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) - a class of...

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a 5-year, $2,278,304 Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Emory University to investigate the biological mechanisms by which exposures to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project, titled "IMPACT-ADRD: Investigating the Multi-omics Perturbations Associated with Complex Environmental Toxicants and Their Contribution to Alzheimer's...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $241,811 to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University to investigate the relationship between air pollution exposure, environmental injustice, and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) in patients with interstitial lung disease. The key objectives are to: (1) assess the impact of air pollution...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $419,011 to Emory University to develop innovative dimensionality reduction techniques for assessing the joint health effects of air pollution mixtures. The research aims to advance causal modeling approaches that preserve the relationships between air pollutants and health outcomes, in order to provide more accurate assessments of the public...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, provides $704,105 to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. to study the impact of multiple long-term environmental exposures on the incidence of asthma. The key objectives are to: (1) determine how exposures like air pollution, temperature, and greenspace are associated with asthma onset; (2) identify demographic, behavioral, and...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program provides $676,077 to Colorado State University (CSU) to study the impacts of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution on cardiovascular and respiratory health outcomes. The key products and services being delivered under this award include: Deploying a national network to measure the oxidative potential of PM2.5 samples, which...

This Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, funds research to identify genetic mechanisms underlying respiratory responses to ozone (O3) exposure. The $671,165 award to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill aims to understand why some individuals fail to adapt to repeated O3 exposures, which can lead to the development of chronic lung diseases like asthma and...

This R21 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $433,950 to the University of California, Davis to study the impact of wildfire smoke exposure on lung injury and disease in pediatric populations. The key objectives are to: 1) Define the contribution of age on the toxicity of wood smoke particles in respiratory and alveolar epithelium, 2) Investigate the effect of early life wood...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $343,146 to conduct research on the mortality risk associated with air pollution exposure among U.S. veterans with chronic respiratory diseases. The award to the Regents of the University of Minnesota aims to: 1) estimate the mortality risk in chronic respiratory disease populations attributed to daily fine particulate matter...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program provides $795,848 to the University of California, Davis to investigate the impacts of prenatal wildfire smoke exposure on maternal immune dysregulation, epigenetic changes in children, and associated child neurodevelopmental and behavioral outcomes. The 5-year study aims to enhance understanding of the immunologic and epigenetic...
