The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $200,230 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program to the University of South Carolina. The grant funds research to characterize the atmospheric transformation of harmful cyanobacterial algae (HABs) and investigate the mechanisms of pulmonary toxicity from inhaled HAB aerosols. The project will utilize an environmental chamber to produce and analyze transformed HAB aerosols, which will then be...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $292,368 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The grant, effective September 1, 2024 through March 31, 2026, will support research to "disentangle the drivers and dangers of toxic cyanobacteria biosynthetic heterogeneity in cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs)." The goal is to identify the effects of...
This $406,843 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) supports research at the University of South Florida (USF) to investigate the role of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the bioluminescence signaling of the red tide dinoflagellate Lingulodinium polyedra. The key objectives are to: 1) evaluate the mRNA levels of a target GPCR candidate (RC3) and its effectors using RT-qPCR and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $192,927 to Florida State University to explore a model-data framework for advancing predictions of red tide events and their impact on respiratory illnesses under changing temperature conditions along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The research focuses on improving red tide forecasting and assessing/mitigating public health impacts through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates earth system...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $107,072 to Florida Gulf Coast University to explore a model-data framework that advances predictions of red tide events and their impact on respiratory illnesses in coastal communities under changing temperature conditions. The research involves an interdisciplinary team analyzing spatial and temporal data on red tide occurrences and respiratory health to discern dynamic relationships. Key...
The U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $153,851 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) to Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) to identify and characterize changes in plasma protein levels in manatees and sea turtles naturally exposed to Florida red tide events as a model for human exposure. The goal is to develop diagnostic biomarkers for Florida red tide intoxication in humans. The project, titled "Diagnostic Biomarkers of Red Tide...
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 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 (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $404,989 to The Pennsylvania State University to investigate the mechanisms by which nanoplastic particles may be transported into the brain via the olfactory system. The research aims to understand how nanoplastics, which are ubiquitous in the environment, can potentially enter the brain and impact neurological health. The key...
This Project Grant award for $448,383 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program will fund research to determine the impact of maternal ingestion of cyanotoxins on the development and function of the stress axis in offspring. The primary objectives are to: 1) Determine if sub-chronic maternal exposure to the cyanotoxin microcystin-LR disrupts the development of brain regions that control the stress...
