Project Grant R01ES038115
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Trustees of Boston University $100,228 on November 13, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate the longitudinal effect of arsenic on DNA methylation and blood pressure in pediatric populations. The research leverages secondary data from the Bangladesh Environmental Research in Children's Health (BIRCH) cohort, which enrolled participants aged 5–7 years and followed them into adolescence. The study...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The University of Chicago $435,145 on July 11, 2026, under the Environmental Health Program (CFDA 93.113) to develop capability and infrastructure for measuring arsenic species, including trivalent and pentavalent forms, in human cells collected from Bangladeshi individuals with varying arsenic exposure levels. The research addresses limitations in prior studies that focused primarily on measuring arsenic species in urine and blood,...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded New York University $497,998 on June 2, 2026, to investigate the epigenetic and genetic regulation of arsenic methylation and arsenic-related cardiovascular disease risk in Native American populations under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113). The research examines how DNA methylation and microRNAs influence arsenic biomethylation efficiency and downstream cardiovascular disease risk, leveraging biospecimens and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program provides $379,504 to the University System of New Hampshire's Keene State College to conduct research on the tissue-specific development of toxicity in response to transgenerational chronic arsenic exposures. The key objectives are to: (1) detect tissue-specific uptake of arsenic in response to transgenerational chronic exposure; (2)...
- 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...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded $813,303 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (operating as Stony Brook University) on September 3, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which arsenic exposure amplifies ultraviolet radiation-induced skin carcinogenesis. The project, titled "Environmental Modifiers of UVR Skin Carcinogenesis: Deciphering the Effects of Mixed...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the University of Massachusetts $752,690 on August 13, 2026, for research on preconception and early pregnancy exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals under the Environmental Health grant program (CFDA 93.113). The project investigates how exposure to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and trace elements affects women's reproductive health and the ability to achieve...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center $152,500 on August 15, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to define dose-response relationships and renal functional impairment from simultaneous exposure to micro- and nano-plastics and arsenic. The research establishes a quantitative framework for how micro- and nano-plastics behave when co-present with arsenic in the body, whether their excretion is...
- 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...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the University of Rochester $415,613 under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) on February 24, 2026, to investigate how pregnancy and the maternal gut microbiome influence methylmercury metabolism and elimination in pregnant women and fetuses. The research optimizes previously developed tools to monitor methylmercury metabolism and excretion in non-pregnant adults, applying them to pregnant women who consume fish...
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 across pregnancy and postpartum periods, examine the role of estrogen disruption in arsenic-induced cardiac pathology, and assess whether one-carbon metabolism supplementation mitigates arsenic-induced cardiac damage. The work leverages a mouse model showing that gestational arsenic exposure impairs maternal heart growth and disrupts estrogen receptor expression, recapitulating features of adverse cardiovascular events observed in human pregnancies. The study also incorporates data from a large biorepository from a well-characterized human cohort. Performance of the work occurs in Baltimore, Maryland, with an anticipated completion date of June 30, 2031. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
