The federal Project Grant award R01ES036983 for $495,980.00 was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant supports research to investigate the impact of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) exposure on the development of depression in adolescent mouse models. The research aims to understand the mechanistic link between PCB exposure, gut microbiome changes, blood-brain barrier...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, aims to investigate how polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) impact the crosstalk between adipocytes (fat cells) and macrophages (immune cells) in adipose tissue. The total funding amount is $171,064 and the project period runs from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The research will have two main objectives: 1) Assessing how PCB-exposed...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $143,331.00 to Wayne State University to conduct research investigating the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure on male reproductive health. The research aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms by which PFAS mixtures affect spermatogenesis, sperm epigenetics, and extracellular vesicles called epididymosomes. Key...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research to define the neurotoxic and neurodevelopmental health risks of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The $546,350 award, effective January 13, 2025 through October 31, 2029, aims to characterize the mechanisms by which PFAS affect brain development and function. Key objectives include defining PFAS uptake...
This $418,702 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) will support research at Baylor University to investigate the impact of altered biotransformation pathways on the ability of Gulf killifish to adapt to legacy pollutants like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The project will examine how a deletion in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, will fund research to investigate the potential impacts of developmental exposure to pyrethroid pesticides on neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) using the prairie vole as an animal model. The $605,550 award, effective May 1, 2025 through February 28, 2030, will support the University of Toledo in conducting a comprehensive...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, provides $159,200.00 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on the role of oxidation-reduction (redox) signaling in normal neurodevelopment and the sensitivity of developing neurons to environmental exposures that can induce oxidative stress. The research aims to characterize redox signaling during...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) provides $157,500 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to pilot studies on the potential link between prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk. The research aims to examine how PFAS exposure during development may interact with genetic factors to influence fetal neurodevelopment and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, provides $561,584 to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to study the ovarian disrupting effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on female reproductive health. The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which PFAS exposure, particularly perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), interferes with ovarian...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, will fund research at Wayne State University to investigate how exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) impacts placental health and susceptibility to infection-mediated preterm birth. The $1,651,801 award, effective September 5, 2024 through June 30, 2029, will allow the principal investigator, Dr. Petriello, to study how PFAS...
