The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded Purdue University a $1,968,864 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The goal of this 5-year research project is to evaluate and compare the neurotoxic impacts of exposure to various per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including legacy chemicals like PFOA and replacement compounds like PFBA and GenX. The research will use zebrafish and human induced pluripotent stem cell...
This $499,454.23 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports the development of edible sorbent therapies to mitigate dietary exposures to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as "forever chemicals." The key objectives are to: 1) derive multicomponent sorbents from naturally occurring or generally recognized as safe materials and characterize their in vitro PFAS...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $587,600 Project Grant under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) to Nanoaffix Science LLC to develop a proof-of-concept technology for the rapid, low-cost detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The project aims to create a graphene-based sensor chip and portable handheld detector capable of measuring PFAS concentrations down to 1 ng/L (parts per trillion) within 50% of...
This $533,723 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113). The grant will fund research to investigate how exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during pregnancy can lead to increased susceptibility to infection-mediated preterm birth (PTB) and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). Specifically, the research aims to: 1) Test the hypothesis that maternal PFAS...
This Project Grant award, valued at $561,584, was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) through the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The objective of this project is to investigate the ovarian disrupting effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on female reproduction. Specifically, the research will: Use in vivo mouse models to study the ovarian toxicity of the PFAS compound perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) and its impact...
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 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program totaling $695,853 will support a research project titled "Perinatal PFAS Impact Children's Development: Examining the Roles of Placental Functional Multiomics and Protection by Maternal Exercise". The project aims to investigate how prenatal exposures to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) impact placental function and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $1,515,428 to the University of Miami to conduct a longitudinal study examining the role of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure in the development of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The study will quantify PFAS concentrations in participants' archived blood samples, assess associations between PFAS exposure, lipid...
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 $478,503 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) supports research to investigate the impact of prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children. The award will leverage the existing GUSTO mother-child cohort in Singapore to conduct comprehensive assessments, including proton magnetic resonance...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, aims to define the neurotoxic and neurodevelopmental health risks associated with exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The $546,350 grant, awarded on January 13, 2025, will support a research study to investigate the mechanisms of PFAS uptake by neurons, the neurotoxic effects of PFAS exposure, and the impacts of PFAS on neurodevelopment and complex behaviors using a zebrafish model.

The grant recipient, The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), will collaborate with a sub-awardee, the University of Pittsburgh, to conduct this research. The project will utilize molecular dynamics simulations, binding assays, and cellular and organismal assays to elucidate the effects of PFAS exposure on mitochondrial function, apoptosis, and neural activity. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights into the risks associated with PFAS and enable the development of effective interventions for monitoring and mitigating the impact of these ubiquitous chemicals.
