This $695,853 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research on the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposures during the perinatal period on children's development. The award leverages three unique existing cohorts and a multidisciplinary research team to: 1) investigate how prenatal PFAS exposures affect placental molecular regulation, and if these...
This $121,057 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports a prospective study to investigate the associations between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) mixtures and pregnancy outcomes, including spontaneous abortion, preterm birth, and small for gestational age births, among Black women. The study aims to evaluate the role of perceived stress as a modifier of the relationship...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program aims to investigate the mechanisms by which per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure impacts male reproductive health. The $143,331 award, effective from September 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027, will enable researchers at Wayne State University to conduct single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of the testis and analyze the small...
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 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $546,350 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) to study the neurotoxic and neurodevelopmental health risks of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The key objectives are to: 1) define the chemical interactions that mediate neuronal uptake and accumulation of PFAS; 2) elucidate the neurotoxic...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $561,584 to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to investigate the ovarian disrupting effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on follicular development and ovulation. The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which PFNA, a widely used long-chain PFAS, acts primarily through the peroxisome...
The University of California, Davis has been awarded a $423,657 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) to study the impact of neonatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The research aims to determine if neonatal PFOA exposure leads to long-term deficits in the microbiota-gut-brain axis, including impacts on gut physiology and behavior, as well as whether...
This federal Project Grant award of $719,892 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research on the impact of phthalate and bisphenol exposure on infant reproductive development during the critical "minipuberty" period in the first six months of life. The research project, nested within the ongoing New York University Children's Health and Environment Study (NYU CHES) birth cohort, will...
This $1,632,022 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the NIEHS Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Education program (CFDA 93.143) will fund the Southern California Superfund Research and Training Program for PFAS Assessment, Remediation, and Prevention (SHARP). The overarching goal of SHARP is to develop scientific knowledge and innovative technologies to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) water...
This $499,454.23 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program. The project aims to develop edible, multicomponent sorbent materials that can effectively reduce exposures to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as "forever chemicals", from dietary sources. The research involves in vitro, in silico, and in vivo studies to characterize the PFAS adsorption...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, will provide $1,651,801 to Wayne State University over a period of approximately 5 years starting in September 2024. The award aims to investigate how exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) can lead to decreased interferon (IFN) signaling in the placenta, making pregnant women more susceptible to bacterial infections and resulting in preterm birth and intrauterine growth retardation. The research will involve exposing pregnant mice to PFAS concentrations known to reduce IFN signaling, and then challenging them with a bacterial stressor to measure the impact on placental health and birth outcomes. The study will also analyze changes in glycoprotein distribution in the placental spongiotrophoblasts as a potential mechanism for the observed effects of PFAS on IFN signaling.
