The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded Emory University a 5-year, $599,416 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant will fund the development, testing, and application of new statistical methods to address analytical challenges in environmental epidemiology research. Key objectives include: 1) utilizing fine-scale exposure data in health analyses, 2) identifying individual and area-level risk factors for harmful environmental exposures, and 3) estimating joint health effects of environmental exposure mixtures. The research will leverage advanced techniques from functional data analysis, Bayesian analysis, and machine learning. The methods will be applied to several ongoing epidemiologic studies, including examining the health impacts of wildfire-related air pollution, temperature, and environmental exposures on pregnancy outcomes. The project aims to provide timely analytical tools to the wider scientific community for addressing emerging data sources and research priorities in environmental health.
