The $2,282,687 award to Harvard Medical School, with several sub-awards to partner institutions like Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic, Stanford University, and Vanderbilt University Medical Center, will fund a comprehensive research...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, will support research by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to investigate the role of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in mediating the tumor-promoting effects of traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) exposure in breast cancer. The $495,598 award, effective November 22, 2024 through October 31, 2029, will enable UC Davis...
This federal Project Grant award of $156,500, awarded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research (CFDA 93.393) program, supports a study titled "Nurses Surviving Breast Cancer: An Exploration of Breast Cancer Diagnosis, Reported Lymphedema Symptoms, and Lifestyle Status in the Nurses' Health Study Survey". The study aims to 1) explore patterns of incidence of self-reported breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) symptoms, and 2) examine...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports the development of statistical methods for precision environmental health research focused on mixture exposures. The award, totaling $528,194 and effective from July 6, 2024 to April 30, 2029, will allow the principal investigator at Colorado State University to: Develop a general framework for estimating effect heterogeneity in...
This Project Grant award of $749,901, funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, aims to elucidate the origins of the mutational landscape in cancer. The research project will integrate cellular DNA adductomics, nanopore sequencing, and single-molecule duplex sequencing to investigate how exposure to environmental mutagens, such as 1,2,3-trichloropropane, bromochloroacetic acid, and furan, contributes to the...
