This 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 support research on the neurotoxic and neurodevelopmental health risks of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The primary objectives are to: 1) define the chemical interactions that mediate neuronal uptake and accumulation of PFAS, 2) elucidate the neurotoxic effects of PFAS and their mixtures in vitro and in...
This Project Grant award, valued at $322,328.00, was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The funding will support research to identify predictors of serum per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) concentrations and examine associations between PFAS and dyslipidemia among U.S. volunteer firefighters. The research aims to advance the understanding of PFAS exposure and its health impacts in...
This Project Grant award of $499,454.23 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research to develop edible sorbent therapies that can mitigate dietary exposures to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals." The project aims to create multicomponent sorbents derived from naturally occurring or generally recognized as safe materials that can effectively reduce...
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 $591,846 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports the development of a novel class of granular sorbents by Sorbenta Inc. that can selectively remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from complex water sources. The key objectives of this 1-year project are to: 1) enhance the regenerability of the sorbent material while minimizing PFAS-laden waste, 2) investigate the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program provides $695,853 to the Arkansas Children's Research Institute (ACRI) to study the impact of prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on children's development. The research will investigate how PFAS exposures during pregnancy affect placental function and gene regulation, and how these placental changes relate to...
This Project Grant award of $709,575, provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, aims to investigate the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on bone health across the life course of overweight/obese Latino populations. The study will leverage three longitudinal cohorts to assess the associations between PFAS exposure and measures of bone mineral density, bone turnover, and bone structural...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $121,057 to study the association between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposure mixtures and pregnancy outcomes in a cohort of Black women. The award aims to 1) evaluate the association between PFAS mixtures and outcomes like spontaneous abortion, preterm birth, and small for gestational age births, 2) examine perceived stress as...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $143,331 to Wayne State University to investigate the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure on male reproductive health. The research aims to use single-cell RNA sequencing and characterization of epididymosomes (extracellular vesicles in the epididymis) to understand how PFAS exposure affects spermatogenesis...
This $385,219 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will support research at the University of Rhode Island (URI) to investigate the role of albumin and other serum factors in the accumulation and toxicity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The key objectives of the five-year project are to: 1) determine whether albumin is a key factor for PFAS distribution, tissue accumulation,...
