The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $119,524 Project Grant to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113). This K99/R00 career development award funds research investigating the biological and psychosocial pathways linking early life lead exposure to later-life cognitive decline. The project leverages the St. Louis Baby Tooth Study cohort to deliver three primary research products: (1) evaluation of how childhood and adult psychosocial factors modify the association between early lead exposure and cognitive outcomes; (2) investigation of whether adult cardiovascular, metabolic, and psychiatric comorbidities mediate this relationship; and (3) identification of epigenetic signatures associated with early lead exposure and their relation to cognitive function in older adults. The award supports mechanistic and epidemiological research aligned with NIEHS's mission to understand how environmental exposures affect biological systems across the lifespan. Deliverables include peer-reviewed analyses, biomarker characterization, and evidence identifying time-specific intervention points over the life course to address lead's neurotoxic effects on cognitive aging—a critical public health concern relevant to vulnerable populations with historical early-life lead exposure.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
