The grant supports research to define novel mechanisms of communication between airway epithelial cells and intraepithelial airway macrophages, using an innovative high-throughput airway organoid screening...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, is supporting research to investigate the genetic mechanisms underlying maladaptive respiratory responses to air pollution, specifically ozone (O3) exposure. The $671,165 award, spanning January 1, 2025 to October 31, 2029, will enable researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to: Profile the transcriptomes and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), provides $3,082,011 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to conduct research aimed at identifying gene-environment interactions with exposure to the air pollutant ozone that contribute to respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD. The project will utilize genetically diverse mouse populations as a discovery...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), awarded a $189,000 Project Grant under CFDA #93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research program to the University of Colorado-Denver. The 2-year grant, with a period of performance from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2027, will support research to investigate the role of outdoor air pollution and environmental allergens in driving treatment response in children with acute asthma...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), through its Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), has awarded a $227,286 Project Grant to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health to support the research software engineering career of Michelle Audirac. The grant, awarded from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, will enable Audirac to advance her work in developing open science tools and data science capabilities to accelerate environmental health research...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $558,380 Project Grant under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) to develop the GEOSPACE Geospatial Knowledgebase for Exposomics. This four-year project, starting February 1, 2025, aims to create an integrated biomedical knowledgebase and geospatial data science ecosystem to facilitate robust exposomic studies. The key products include: A...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $3,181,155 Project Grant to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to conduct research on the integrated role of residential greenness, airway microbiome, and host genome in the development of childhood asthma and its phenotypes. The project will leverage data from three existing multicenter prospective cohorts to investigate how the interaction between environmental factors, airway microbial composition, and the host's biological response shapes early-life immunity and contributes to the development of childhood asthma. Key products and services to be delivered include generating residential greenness indices, sequencing airway metagenomes, and examining their relationships to the development of asthma and its subtypes by age 6-7 years. The award has a project period from September 18, 2025 to September 17, 2029.
