The grant, titled "Gestational and Childhood Exposure to Endocrine Disruptors: Epigenetic and Proteomic Pathways to Adolescent Neurobehavior," aims to investigate the associations between...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program, will support research to investigate the epigenetic regulations induced by exposure to phthalate mixtures in adipose tissues. The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which environmental chemicals, particularly phthalates, can perturb metabolic pathways and increase the risk of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and...
- This Project Grant award of $763,965.00 was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The project aims to investigate how metal exposures during pregnancy and early childhood impact the composition of microRNAs in human breast milk, and how these changes may contribute to accelerated growth and increased risk of obesity in early childhood. The research will be conducted by Dartmouth College, a...
- This $306,871 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program. The award was granted to Million Marker Wellness Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned small business, to conduct a two-armed randomized clinical trial. The objectives are to: 1) determine if Million Marker's 16-week endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) intervention program can reduce weight in individuals with...
- This $756,318 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research investigating the impacts of polyethoxylated surfactants on metabolic health and obesity. The award to Wayne State University, beginning on June 3, 2025 and running through March 31, 2030, aims to comprehensively assess how these ubiquitous environmental contaminants found in consumer products disrupt metabolic...
- The University of Iowa was awarded a $171,064 Project Grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant, awarded on January 1, 2025, will fund research to determine how polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) affect the crosstalk between adipocytes and macrophages in adipose tissue, and how this influences the development of metabolic disruption and diseases such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, and type...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program provides $147,486 to Trustees of Boston University for a research project titled "Early-Life Exposure to Ferroalloy Metal Mixtures and Adolescent Cognition". The project aims to investigate the impact of early-life exposure to toxic metal mixtures found in industrial ferroalloy emissions on neurodevelopment and cognitive...
- This $719,892 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, will support research on the relationship between infant exposure to phthalates and bisphenols, and reproductive development during the "minipuberty" period of the first six months of life. The research, to be conducted by New York University (NYU), will examine both in-utero and concurrent chemical exposures in 480...
- This is a Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant provides $147,486.00 in funding to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to conduct research examining the impact of perinatal metal mixture exposure and prenatal maternal stress on cognitive and neural constructs underlying adolescent risk-taking behaviors. The study aims to elucidate the early-life...
- This federal Project Grant award of $463,850 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS, CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health program) will support research investigating the long-term health impacts of prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) chemicals. The primary goals are to: 1) Estimate the effects of prenatal PFAS mixture exposures on adult metabolic, vascular, and bone health, and 2) Evaluate whether diet quality and physical activity can...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, provides $124,808 to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate how exposure to environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) impacts cognitive function and obesity-related behaviors. The research aims to explore the effects of EDC exposure on the brain's dopamine pathways, which regulate both cognitive processes and motivated eating behaviors. Using an established rat model, the study will examine sex-specific impacts of an EDC mixture on food reward, motivation, and cognitive flexibility. It will also investigate the intergenerational effects of EDC exposure on these behaviors, analyzing related epigenetic modifications and gene expression changes in the brain's reward system. The findings could provide insights into the co-morbidity of obesity and cognitive disorders associated with environmental chemical exposures.
