- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a Project Grant of $157,500.00 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) to pilot a study on developmental exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and its potential interactions with genetic factors that may contribute to the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study aims to investigate how...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), is providing $708,061.00 to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) to investigate the impact of the urban-social exposome on maternal depression. The research aims to elucidate the multifactorial etiology and underlying biology of maternal depression, which affects approximately one in six new mothers worldwide. The 5-year...
- The federal Project Grant award for "MOLECULAR AND NEURODEVELOPMENTAL ALTERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH PRENATAL WILDFIRE EXPOSURES" is funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The $795,848 award supports research at the University of California, Davis to investigate the potential impacts of prenatal wildfire smoke exposure on immune regulation, fetal brain development, and child...
- This Project Grant award of $699,956 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), will support research investigating the genetic and environmental factors that influence the association between prenatal exposure to organophosphate ester flame retardants and plasticizers (OPEs) and the development of autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. The research will be...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), provides $546,350 to fund a study to "Define the Neurotoxic and Neurodevelopmental Health Risks of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)". The key objectives of this 4.5-year research project are to: 1) Characterize the mechanisms by which PFAS facilitate neuronal uptake and accumulation; 2) Elucidate the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113), will support research at Brown University to investigate the impact of prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on adult cardiometabolic disease. The $656,250 award, with a performance period from August 6, 2025 to May 31, 2029, will enable researchers to conduct an unprecedented assessment of 44 individual PFAS,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), provides $456,500.00 to the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate the biological effects of prenatal exposure to wildfire smoke on fetal and infant growth. The key objectives of this 2-year study are to: 1) Examine how prenatal exposure to wildfire smoke triggers biological responses that can be measured through...
This $795,326 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) supports research investigating the effects of prenatal exposure to flame retardant chemicals on maternal depression trajectories and childhood depressive symptoms. The 5-year project, running from September 2025 to June 2030, will be conducted by the University of Southern California. The research aims to examine individual and joint effects of prenatal exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs) on maternal depression over 8 years postpartum, as well as the impact on parent- and child-reported depressive symptoms in children aged 6-8. The study will also explore how childhood adversities, maternal resilience, and familism may modify these associations. This work seeks to advance understanding of the environmental contributors to mental health outcomes and identify potential intervention strategies.
