Father Flanagan's Boys' Home received a $671,992 Project Grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), awarded on May 20, 2026, with completion targeted for February 28, 2031. The organization will conduct The TRAIL Study (Tracking Radon Exposure, Attention Abilities, and Immune Function Longitudinally), a longitudinal research initiative examining the neurodevelopmental impacts of residential radon exposure on youth. The project addresses a critical gap in environmental health research by investigating how chronic radon exposure—a naturally occurring radioactive gas present in approximately 1 in 15 U.S. homes at or above the EPA's action limit of 4 picocuries per liter—affects immune function, neural circuitry, and behavioral outcomes during heightened periods of neurodevelopment. The research builds upon preliminary findings from the awardee indicating that home radon exposure correlates with altered functional brain activity in attention-related regions, potential neurodevelopmental delays of up to seven years, elevated inflammatory biomarkers, and increased hyperactivity symptoms in youth. Through longitudinal assessment, the study will characterize the persistence and progression of radon-related aberrations in brain function, behavior, and immune indicators over time, generating evidence to support public health interventions and policy regarding residential radon mitigation in vulnerable populations.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
