Emory University received a $815,158 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), effective September 25, 2025, with a completion date of July 31, 2030. The award supports a transdisciplinary research initiative investigating the effects of wildfire smoke particulate matter (WFPM) on female fertility. The project delivers integrated research services across three complementary research aims: (1) population-level epidemiological analysis utilizing over 220,000 assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles from the National ART Surveillance System (2001-2019) to evaluate impacts on cycle cancellation, clinical pregnancy, and live birth outcomes; (2) clinical biorepository analysis leveraging unique UCSF patient samples collected during periods of pristine air quality and record-setting wildfires to assess effects on ovarian reserve, oocyte and embryo quality, and follicular fluid composition; and (3) experimental research utilizing laboratory-based wildfire simulation and ex vivo ovarian follicle culture systems to evaluate whole-body WFPM effects on ovarian function and reproductive outcomes in mice. The research addresses a critical knowledge gap regarding environmental health impacts on human reproduction as wildfire frequency and intensity have increased substantially over the past four decades. WFPM contains unique toxic chemical compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, with greater oxidative potential than standard urban particulate matter. By combining population, clinical, and experimental methodologies, the project will generate evidence-based knowledge to inform public health strategies and advance understanding of environmental determinants of female reproductive health.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
