The research leverages naturally shed deciduous teeth as biomarkers to measure in utero and early childhood...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai $1.42 million on September 17, 2025, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate the urban-social exposome on maternal depression. The research investigates how stress, built environment factors, and urban exposures—including particulate matter (PM2.5)—act as causal factors in maternal depression through effects on key biological pathways such as inflammation, hormone...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai $819,506 on June 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to develop and deploy generative AI models for classifying pathway-specific stroke subtypes and to assess associations between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure and hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke risk. Work performed under this R01 Project Grant spans June 1, 2026 through March 31, 2031 at Mount Sinai's...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $126,355 on August 4, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to assess tissue-specific responses to metal exposure in humans through development of a blood-based biomarker framework. The funded research establishes whether two recently developed diagnostic tools—the Organ Age Clock (OrgAnge), which uses organ-specific proteins in plasma to estimate...
- This federal Project Grant award of $445,240.00 was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The grant supports a research project investigating the complex interactions between prenatal metal exposures, gut microbiome composition, and telomere length attrition in childhood. The long-term goal is to better understand how environmental exposures and...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai $249,000 on March 1, 2026, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to establish an independent research program investigating maternal childhood maltreatment and its effects on prenatal brain programming and infant emotion regulation outcomes. The award funds a Pathway to Independence (R00) award supporting tenure-track faculty appointments...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $125,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to examine prenatal heat exposure, cord blood DNA methylation patterns, and childhood asthma risk, and to develop a cord blood DNA-methylation-based biomarker of in-utero heat exposure. The K99/R00 award funds research led by Dr. Abigail Gaylord examining the association between prenatal heat...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Michigan State University $144,254 on February 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to support postdoctoral training and research on metabolism disrupting chemical exposures and maternal metabolic health in pregnancy. The award funds comprehensive training for Maria Cinzori in environmental epidemiology and perinatal health research, with mentorship from an interdisciplinary team experienced in environmental...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded New York University $10.907 million on September 15, 2025, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to conduct a translational study on the accumulation of micro- and nanoplastic particles in mammalian tissues. The research investigates inter-tissue accumulation of micro- and nanoplastic particles across the lifespan, including the quantified concentration of these particles within systemic tissues, the role of sex, age,...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai $127,710 on August 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to support a K99 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (Project Grant K99ES039036) focused on early-life environmental exposures and child neurodevelopment. The award funds career development and research training for a developmental cognitive scientist and environmental epidemiologist transitioning to an independent investigator role in pediatric environmental health. Training activities include computational methods and high-performance computing instruction, seminars, coursework, writing workshops, attendance at national and international conferences, and one-on-one tutorial meetings covering research methodology, professional development, and career advancement. The investigator will train under mentors with expertise in pediatric exposomics, neurodevelopmental toxicology, advanced analytical methodologies, environmental epidemiology, analytical chemistry, child development, and obesity. The research leverages the PROGRESS (Programming Research in Obesity, Growth, Environment, and Social Stressors) study, a longitudinal birth cohort in Mexico City, to examine the neuro- and metabolic toxicity of early-life environmental phenols and phthalate mixtures and their interconnection with child neurobehavior and obesity. Specific training mentors include Robert O. Wright in pediatric toxicology and executive function development, and Dania Valvi in phenols and phthalates toxicity, epidemiology, and obesity development. Performance of work occurs at Mount Sinai's location in New York, NY 10029, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2028. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
