The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $212,998 Project Grant to MaineHealth on April 24, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113). This K24 mentorship award supports Dr. Abby Fleisch, MD, MPH, in providing protected time and mentorship to junior clinician investigators pursuing independent careers in patient-oriented environmental health research. The award builds upon Dr. Fleisch's existing NIH-funded research examining the health impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—persistent environmental contaminants found in water and food—on body composition and cardiometabolic risk. Dr. Fleisch has previously mentored 15 individuals, including seven clinicians or clinicians-in-training, and this award expands her capacity to mentor additional early-stage investigators in this critical research area through March 31, 2031. The grant funds a new research investigation leveraging MaineHealth's collaboration with Project Viva, a prospective birth cohort study, to advance understanding of prenatal and childhood PFAS exposure impacts. The research will utilize Project Viva's existing phenotyped data and PFAS concentration measurements while supporting new assays of PFAS in 525 participants during late adolescence. This combined mentorship and research initiative strengthens the pipeline of trained environmental health researchers dedicated to informing preventive policies and clinical guidelines for chronic disease risk reduction related to early-life chemical exposures.Federal Grant Award Summary
