- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Florida International University $489,258 on April 24, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate the crosstalk of epitranscriptomic RNA modifications and DNA damage repair mechanisms, with performance through March 31, 2031, at the Miami, Florida campus. The research examines how environmentally induced RNA damage, the epitranscriptomic mark N6-methyladenosine (M6A), and DNA base damage interact on...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska $1,479,178 on September 9, 2025, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to quantify the release of nano- and microplastics from plastic food containers into water and beverages and assess potential health risks. The project measures the release of nano- and microplastics from reusable plastic cups, single-use water and soft drink bottles, and takeaway coffee cups...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The University of Chicago $735,782 on July 10, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to conduct research on chromatin regulation through RNA demethylation in environmental stress response. The project investigates N6-methyladenosine (M6A) modifications on messenger RNA and chromatin-associated RNA, focusing on how FTO and ALKBH1 demethylases regulate these modifications in response to environmental stressors...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, a component of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded the University of Texas at Austin $415,906 on June 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate how air pollution induces shifts in the RNA modification landscape and how pseudouridine-incorporating enzymes relocalize in response to airborne toxins. The research examines whether exposure to ambient air pollution...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $814,154 on April 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate epitranscriptomic and epigenetic loops driving cellular responses to naphthalene, a respiratory toxicant and abundant component of wood smoke. The research defines the interplay between epitranscriptomic marks—RNA-based modifications regulating translation—and epigenetic...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute $249,000 on September 11, 2025, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to support research on the dynamics of oxidative DNA demethylation in chromatin. The award funds a mentored career development project (K99/R00 award R00ES036599) that investigates how chromatin structure affects the efficiency of active DNA demethylation by TET2 and thymine DNA...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded $156,000 to the University of South Alabama on August 5, 2026, to develop and characterize novel single-domain antibodies (nanobodies) tailored to the NEIL1 and NEIL2 DNA glycosylases under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113). The project addresses barriers to studying NEIL1 and NEIL2, which are central to the base excision repair pathway that protects genome integrity from oxidative DNA damage. These enzymes are...
