- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Trustees of Boston University $100,228 on December 28, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to conduct epidemiological research on persistent endocrine-disrupting chemical mixtures and maternal-infant health outcomes. Principal Investigator Noelle Henderson will quantify the impact of pre-conception maternal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and organochlorine...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded $662,340 to the University of Massachusetts on August 13, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate how per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) disrupt exocrine pancreas development and function in early life stages and identify recovery pathways through mechanistic study of the NRF2 pathway using transgenic zebrafish embryos. The research employs transgenic Danio rerio (zebrafish) embryos to...
- Federal Project Grant Summary Duke University received a $3.12 million Project Grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), awarded September 5, 2025, with completion scheduled for September 4, 2029. The research project, conducted at Duke's Durham, North Carolina campus, investigates the mechanisms by which per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure damages placental function and fetal development...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded the University of Massachusetts Lowell $157,437 under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) on May 10, 2025, for a two-year project concluding May 9, 2027. This Project Grant supports research defining the urinary, biliary, and fecal excretion pathways of diverse per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and investigating the impact of dietary fiber on PFAS elimination. The research...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Brown University received a $463,850 Project Grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), awarded on September 10, 2025, with a completion date of September 9, 2027. The award supports research investigating associations between prenatal per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mixture exposure and long-term health outcomes in adulthood. The research leverages the New England...
- 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 George Washington University $158,955 on September 3, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to develop a place-based framework quantifying drinking water per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mixture exposure and reproductive health risks. The research addresses the absence of a national framework to estimate drinking water PFAS mixture exposure and evaluate its impact on reproductive health at scale. Aim 1...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the Trustees of Boston University $245,250 on August 13, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to develop and pilot an integrated air pollution exposure assessment framework for reproductive health research. The project combines real-time residential indoor monitoring with residence-level outdoor pollution models and weekly time-activity data collected across preconception and gestational periods. Aim 1...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the University of Southern California $4.061 million on August 25, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113, Assistance Listing R01ES038742) to investigate phthalate exposure, dietary effect modification, and human reproductive health. The research addresses whether serum levels of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids modify the adverse reproductive effects of phthalate exposure. The project will evaluate...
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 healthy live births. The research leverages secondary data from the Effects of Aspirin in Gestation and Reproduction (EAGER) trial, a preconception cohort that enrolled 1,228 women attempting pregnancy with a history of one to two prior pregnancy losses between 2007 and 2011 across Salt Lake City, Utah; Denver, Colorado; Buffalo, New York; and Scranton, Pennsylvania. The team will add new measurements of preconception PFAS and PBDEs in serum and trace elements in urine from stored biospecimens collected at study enrollment to evaluate the independent and combined impact of these persistent pollutants on reproductive outcomes. The award is a Project Grant with a performance period extending through May 31, 2031. Work is performed at the University of Massachusetts in Hadley, Massachusetts.
