- 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...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded $722,000 to the President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health) on August 26, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to develop an integrated molecular exposomics platform mapping how environmental chemicals move from blood to tissues and alter cellular function. The project establishes three synergistic modules. Module 1 creates comprehensive blood exposomics using...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The Washington University $3.141830 million on September 26, 2025, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate prenatal chemical exposures, childhood adversity, resilience, and depression risk. The research examines individual and joint effects of prenatal exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs)—legacy and replacement flame retardant chemicals—on maternal...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Drexel University $111,199 on April 3, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate the role of phthalates, phenols, and their sources on phenotypic variability in autism and co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders, obesity, and asthma. The recipient will use data from the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program, an NIH-funded consortium of longitudinal U.S.-based cohort...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Baylor College of Medicine $639,797 on April 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to characterize the association between micro- and nanoplastic particle (MNP) exposure and preterm birth and to map the inflammatory and immunological mechanisms by which placental exposure to MNP drives adverse pregnancy outcomes. The research quantifies temporal patterns of MNP accumulation across 3,500 biospecimens (maternal...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The Johns Hopkins University $1,592,186 on May 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to conduct research on occupational toxicant exposures and reproductive health outcomes in hairstylists. The project investigates endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as phthalates and volatile organic compounds in hair products and their effects on reproductive health, with particular focus on hairstylists serving...
- 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 $459,770 to the University of Cincinnati's Sponsored Research Services Division on April 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to quantify microplastics in house dust and assess their association with pediatric respiratory health. The research quantifies microplastic concentrations, loadings, and polymer types in house dust collected from children participating in the Cincinnati Childhood Allergy and Air...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded New York University $10.907 million on September 15, 2025, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to conduct a translational study on the accumulation of micro- and nanoplastic particles in mammalian tissues. The research investigates inter-tissue accumulation of micro- and nanoplastic particles across the lifespan, including the quantified concentration of these particles within systemic tissues, the role of sex, age,...
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 surgery and medical-surgical critical care. The recipient will collect urinary biomarkers perioperatively and serially during PICU admission in an existing multicenter cohort of 96 children on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, a new prospective non-ECMO PICU cohort of 200 patients, and 40 same-day ambulatory surgery negative controls. The work addresses whether longitudinal PICU-based endocrine-disrupting chemical exposures and their mixtures associate with new short- and long-term clinical outcomes, an area without prior longitudinal characterization in critically ill children. Performance occurs in Baltimore, Maryland. The period of performance runs through June 30, 2031. This assistance type is a Project Grant.
