- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), awarded a $189,000 Project Grant under CFDA #93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research program to the University of Colorado-Denver. The 2-year grant, with a period of performance from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2027, will support research to investigate the role of outdoor air pollution and environmental allergens in driving treatment response in children with acute asthma...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), will support research to evaluate associations between prenatal exposure to wildfire smoke particulate matter (PM2.5) and early life airway health outcomes in children under 24 months of age. The $155,500 award to the University of Washington will fund a 2-year study across nationwide ECHO program cohorts to: 1) assess risks of...
- This $781,268 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) will fund research at the University of Southern California to investigate the cardiovascular health impacts of environmental exposures to heat stress and wildfire smoke over the life course. The 5-year study, running from June 2025 to April 2030, will leverage the MetaAIR2 cohort of 400 young adults to examine how these exposures, both independently and jointly,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) is providing $731,130 to the Children's Hospital Medical Center to conduct a study titled "Improving Medication Adherence Using an Adaptive mHealth Intervention in Adolescents with Asthma". The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a stepped-care mHealth intervention for improving adherence to daily inhaled corticosteroids in adolescents with asthma. The...
- This $249,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) aims to engage high school students in a youth-led participatory research project focused on establishing clean air environments in schools during wildfire season. The project, titled "Learning and Living with Wildfire Smoke: Creating Clean Air Environments in Schools through Youth Participatory Action Research," will be carried out by the University of...
- This $186,896 Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) will fund a study by the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to examine the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) screening and behavioral-social support on asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) health outcomes. The study aims to leverage data from LADHS' implementation of ACEs screening to 1) analyze the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $187,798 to the University of Rochester to design and pilot a community health worker (CHW) model for improving self-management and outcomes for children with persistent asthma in Rochester, NY. The project aims to use implementation science frameworks to co-design a sustainable, context-appropriate CHW model with community partners, and then evaluate 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 $456,500.00 to the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate the biological effects of prenatal exposure to wildfire smoke on fetal and infant growth. The key objectives of this 2-year study are to: 1) Examine how prenatal exposure to wildfire smoke triggers biological responses that can be measured through...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) in the amount of $293,395 provides funding to the University of Connecticut Health Center to conduct research on democratizing access to effective air purification devices to reduce particulate air pollution (PM2.5) exposure and prevent adverse health outcomes. The project involves three main activities: 1) conducting focus groups and interviews to refine the...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded a $160,380 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to Seattle Children's Hospital to design and pilot a community-based intervention to reduce wildfire smoke exposure in children with asthma. The project aims to: 1) Identify key drivers of wildfire smoke protective behaviors among parents of children with asthma through qualitative interviews, and use the results to refine the intervention; 2) Test the acceptability of the revised intervention through focus groups with parents and community educators; and 3) Determine the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention by conducting a randomized controlled pilot trial with 60 children and their parents. This community-engaged project seeks to bridge gaps in translating evidence on the health risks of wildfire smoke exposure into real-world interventions, especially for families of low socioeconomic status.
