This $483,000 project grant was awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant supports research by the University of California, Davis to investigate how chronic exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) exacerbates the development of metabolic disorders like obesity and diabetes. Specifically, the researchers will use a novel TRAP exposure model in rats to test their hypothesis...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $650,875 to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research on the short-term health effects of diesel truck emissions on asthma morbidity in immigrant communities in California. The key deliverables include:
Estimating the short-term impacts of black carbon exposure on daily rescue medication use and...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $1,343,948 and awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research to understand how exposure to heavy metal pollutants impacts breast cancer treatment and outcomes. The primary awardee, Northwestern University, is conducting studies to determine how heavy metal-induced changes in cellular redox state and progesterone receptor signaling can promote the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will support research to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which exposure to the heavy metal cadmium (Cd) may promote the development and progression of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The total funding amount is $124,087 and the award period runs from August 16, 2024 to July 31, 2026.
The research will be conducted in two phases. In...
This $1,846,071 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research to investigate the impact of environmental toxicants on the epigenetic regulation of the human endogenous retrovirus HML-2 in primordial germ cells. The research aims to determine how exposure to chemicals like PFOA, dieldrin, and benzo[a]pyrene can impair the epigenetic silencing of HML-2, potentially leading to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program provides $683,750 to the University of California, Davis to conduct research investigating the combined effects of maternal allergic asthma and wildfire particulate matter exposure on neurodevelopment and epigenetic changes.
The key research objectives are to: 1) examine how wildfire particulate matter and maternal allergic asthma...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $468,289 to Silent Spring Institute, a nonprofit research organization, to investigate the mechanistic interactions between genotoxicity and estrogenicity in chemically induced mammary carcinogenesis using a rodent model and novel multiplexed spatial biology approaches.
The key objectives are to:
Characterize early biomarkers of mammary...
This federal Project Grant award of $343,146 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, will support research on the mortality risk associated with air pollution exposure among veterans with chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) such as asthma and COPD.
The research aims to: 1) estimate the mortality risk in CRD populations attributed to daily fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone exposure, and identify...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will support the career development of Dr. Alexandra Heaney, a climate epidemiologist at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), to become a leader in interdisciplinary research on the health impacts of climate-related environmental hazards.
The $162,024 award will fund research activities to: 1) estimate the effects of ambient dust...
This $213,284 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). The grant aims to investigate the mechanisms by which wildfire smoke exposure, particularly in individuals with asthma, impacts human health through the role of extracellular vesicles and the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) pathway. The research will involve...
