This $2,166,750 project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences will fund research into the role of the gut microbiome in host adaptation to environmental xenobiotics. The University of California, Berkeley will explore how exposure to commonly used pesticides shapes the gut microbiome of the model organism C. elegans, and the long-term health consequences for the host. Researchers will characterize microbiome-assisted adaptation to...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $728,029 to Emory University to conduct a cross-sectional study on the role of gut microbiota, inflammation, and metabolomics in heat-related illness (HRI). The project, titled "GIRASOLES 2.0: UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF MICROBIOTA, INFLAMMATION, AND METABOLOMICS IN HEAT-RELATED ILLNESS", aims to evaluate how gut microbial...
The University of Illinois was awarded a $633,000 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The three-year grant will fund research examining interactions between Brassica vegetables, the gut microbiome, and GLP-1 secretion. Specifically, the university researchers will study how non-isothiocyanate pathways in the gut microbiota metabolize...
This $184,572 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program, aims to develop innovative participant-centered methods for personalized reporting of multi-level data, including chemical biomonitoring, geospatial socio-environmental indicators, and early effect biomarkers, in large cohort studies.
The award will support the development of ethical guidance and digital tools to enhance...
This $390,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports a research project to systematically characterize novel gut microbial enzymes known as ene-reductases. The project aims to develop a platform that integrates microbiology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics to identify and analyze these enzymes, which play a critical role in shaping the chemical environment of the...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded Nexilico, Inc. a $275,765 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) to develop a predictive computational-experimental platform to characterize microbial biotransformation of xenobiotic compounds and identify naturally occurring gut microbial strains that can mitigate xenobiotic toxicity as novel probiotics. The project aims to provide cost-effective yet accurate predictions to identify microbial species capable...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will fund research to investigate the relationship between exposure to the antimicrobial and endocrine disrupting compound triclosan, pubertal hormones, the adolescent gut microbiome, and neurobehavioral development. The total funding amount is $776,150.33 with a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.

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 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, provides $197,095.80 to Case Western Reserve University to investigate the bioavailability, distribution, and impact of chive-derived exosome-like nanoparticles on the gut microbiome in obesity. The research aims to provide mechanistic insights into how these nanoparticles function in vivo and pave the way for applying them to...
This $428,387 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research to synthesize environmentally relevant micro- and nanoplastics and evaluate their toxicological effects. The primary awardee, Purdue University, is developing a novel procedure to generate plastic particles representative of environmental exposures, and will investigate how the physicochemical properties of these...
