This $499,454.23 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports the development of edible sorbent therapies to mitigate dietary exposures to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as "forever chemicals." The key objectives are to: 1) derive multicomponent sorbents from naturally occurring or generally recognized as safe materials and characterize their in vitro PFAS...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, will provide $709,575 to the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on bone health in overweight/obese Latino populations across the life course. The study will integrate data from three longitudinal cohorts to assess the associations between PFAS exposure and...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $170,816 Project Grant under the Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Education program (CFDA 93.143) to Advanced & Innovative Multifunctional Materials LLC, a small disadvantaged minority-owned business. The grant supports the company's development of its proprietary "AimmSorb" technology, which aims to improve the removal of short-chain and ultra-short chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl...
This $533,723 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113). The grant will fund research to investigate how exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during pregnancy can lead to increased susceptibility to infection-mediated preterm birth (PTB) and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). Specifically, the research aims to: 1) Test the hypothesis that maternal PFAS...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, aims to define the neurotoxic and neurodevelopmental health risks associated with exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The $546,350 grant, awarded on January 13, 2025, will support a research study to investigate the mechanisms of PFAS uptake by neurons, the neurotoxic effects of PFAS exposure, and the impacts of PFAS on...
The Duke University research project funded by the $496,360 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Development Consolidated Research/Training/Fellowships program (CFDA #66.511) will evaluate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure via indoor environments. The University will characterize total organic fluorine in indoor air and dust samples from July 2022 to June 2025 to evaluate PFAS source variation within homes and estimate their contribution to total...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $587,600 Project Grant under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) to Nanoaffix Science LLC to develop a proof-of-concept technology for the rapid, low-cost detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The project aims to create a graphene-based sensor chip and portable handheld detector capable of measuring PFAS concentrations down to 1 ng/L (parts per trillion) within 50% of...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded Wayne State University a 3-year, $1,644,161 Project Grant under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to study the effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on atherosclerosis and cholesterol metabolism. The project aims to determine if PFAS mixtures accelerate atherosclerosis in a mouse model, assess how PFAS disrupts bile acid reuptake and leads to increased cholesterol levels, and evaluate the...
This $591,846 Project Grant, awarded on July 13, 2024 by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports the development of a novel class of granular sorbents for the selective removal of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) from complex water sources. The grantee, Sorbenta Inc., aims to enhance the regenerability of their proprietary PFAS-selective sorbent technology while minimizing the volume of PFAS-laden...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program totaling $695,853 will support a research project titled "Perinatal PFAS Impact Children's Development: Examining the Roles of Placental Functional Multiomics and Protection by Maternal Exercise". The project aims to investigate how prenatal exposures to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) impact placental function and...
