This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, is supporting research to assess the effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on intestinal health using 3D human and mouse intestinal models. The $389,229 award to Trustees of Tufts College, a private research university in Massachusetts, aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential health consequences of exposure...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $429,504 to New York University (NYU) School of Medicine to characterize human exposure to microplastics during pregnancy. The overarching aim is to leverage existing infrastructure from the NYU Children's Environmental Health Study (NYU CHES) to measure and characterize microplastics in placental tissue collected from the general...
This federal Project Grant award of $428,387, provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research to investigate the toxicological consequences of environmentally relevant nanoplastics. The grantee, Purdue University, has developed a novel procedure to reproducibly generate micro- and nanoplastics from common plastic waste materials, allowing for the study of fundamental mechanisms of nanoplastic...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $390,724 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to develop a high-throughput separations platform called "Standing Wave Acoustics for Nanoplastics Separations (SWANS)". This platform will use bulk mode acoustic standing waves to rapidly enrich and isolate plastic nanoparticles from diverse samples such as bottled water, environmental water, and animal tissue....
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 $379,123 to the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center to conduct research on how heavy metal exposure, specifically uranium-bearing dust, impacts the intestinal epithelial cells and predisposes individuals to intestinal disorders. The key goals of the research are to: 1) characterize how uranium-bearing dust...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at the University of Nebraska to uncover the key material and processing factors that control the release of micro- and nano-plastics from polymer products. The $739,205 award, effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2030, aims to obtain a fundamental understanding of the relationship between material characteristics, processing methods, and the release behavior of potentially...
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $425,772 Project Grant (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) to the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute Hospital, Inc. to conduct an epidemiologic study on the association between microplastic pollution in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung cancer. The award period runs from July 15, 2024 to June 30, 2026. The study aims to investigate the prevalence and potential health impacts of microplastic exposure in the...
This federal Project Grant award of $352,126, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will support research at the University of Hawaii at Manoa to establish a pioneering microplastic library in Hawaii and study the biophysical mechanisms of how micro/nanoplastics impact respiratory health. The key objectives of this 3-year award are to: 1) Create a unique collection of microplastic samples sourced from the shorelines of Oahu Island, providing...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund a five-year research project at Cornell University focused on understanding the fate and transport of microplastics and their interactions with potentially toxic halogenated organic compounds (HOCs) in soil and groundwater environments. The $558,556 award will support a series of laboratory experiments to evaluate the impacts of aged and weathered microplastics on HOC...
