Project Grant R01ES037833
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Geisinger Clinic $3.379 million on September 25, 2025, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to characterize the relationship between extreme heat exposure and cardiovascular and pulmonary outcomes and identify health system intervention strategies in the context of climate change. The research will systematically assess how heat intensity, latency, and duration prompt or exacerbate acute events in asthma and...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded $471,196 to Aurora Health Care, Inc. on September 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to examine how weather-related barriers affect primary care utilization in older adults with chronic conditions. The recipient will quantify the impact of inclement weather—including extreme temperatures, high heat index, and heavy...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $125,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to examine prenatal heat exposure, cord blood DNA methylation patterns, and childhood asthma risk, and to develop a cord blood DNA-methylation-based biomarker of in-utero heat exposure. The K99/R00 award funds research led by Dr. Abigail Gaylord examining the association between prenatal heat...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The Johns Hopkins University $746,594 on August 14, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to characterize chemical exposures in pediatric intensive care units and assess their health implications. The project quantifies longitudinal trajectories of industrial contaminant exposures—including endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as phthalates, bisphenols, and volatile organic compounds—in children receiving complex...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded The Johns Hopkins University a $2.98 million Project Grant (CFDA 93.113, Environmental Health program) effective September 15, 2025 through September 14, 2029 to conduct research on epigenetic mechanisms enhancing transcriptional response to environmental heat stress. The research will employ advanced single-molecule tracking (SMT) technology to directly image endogenous, tagged...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the University of Pittsburgh $1.386 million on September 10, 2025, to conduct a randomized clinical trial evaluating whether incorporating the Environmental Protection Agency Air Quality Index and behavioral recommendations into asthma action plans improves respiratory outcomes in children with asthma. This award is made under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113). The Pollution Intervention to Impact Kids Asthma Study...
- Federal Grant Award Summary Massachusetts General Hospital received a $3.18 million Project Grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113, Environmental Health program) awarded September 18, 2025, with completion scheduled for September 17, 2029. The award supports a four-year research initiative examining the integrated role of residential greenness, airway microbiome composition and function, and host immune response in childhood asthma development and...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The Washington University $427,625 on June 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate how reactive indoor air pollutants chemically alter house dust mite allergens and enhance their capacity to trigger allergic airway inflammation. The award funds a two-aim research project examining the transformation of Der P 1 (the major house dust mite allergen), house dust mites themselves, and genuine house...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The Johns Hopkins University $787,370 on August 28, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate the effects of gestational arsenic exposure on maternal cardiovascular health. The research addresses gaps in understanding how naturally-occurring arsenic disrupts maternal heart function during and after pregnancy. The project will define effects of gestational arsenic exposure on the maternal heart...
- This $3,690,905 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports the CATALYST (Community Climate Health Equity Research Center) initiative. The primary objective is to generate evidence on how extreme climate events, such as heat waves and poor air quality, impact health outcomes like hypertension and asthma among patients served by community health centers (CHCs) - organizations that provide...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded The Johns Hopkins University $3,381,122 on August 17, 2026 for research examining extreme weather impacts and interventions for childhood asthma. The award is made under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), a Project Grant assistance type. The research will estimate associations between extreme heat, air pollution, and extreme precipitation or flooding on pediatric asthma exacerbations among children in the Baltimore Metropolitan area, both as individual exposures and as compound events. The project will determine how these associations vary by demographic characteristics and neighborhood determinants of health. The recipient will assess the impact of extreme weather intervention strategies, including vacant lot greening and other community-based approaches, to mitigate adverse health outcomes related to childhood asthma. Work is performed in Baltimore, Maryland. The period of performance runs from August 17, 2026 through August 16, 2030.
