- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $378,140 Project Grant under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) to the University of South Carolina. The grant supports a multi-year study using big data methods to investigate the impact of extreme weather events, such as extreme heat, drought, flooding, and storms, on child physical health, mental health, and development in the United States over the past two decades. The research will...
- This federal Project Grant award of $409,687 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports a research study on the impacts of wildfire smoke and heat on cognition, mood, and the metabolome in a population of Parkinson's disease patients and community controls in the California Central Valley. The study aims to better understand the biological pathways and health effects of wildfire smoke and heat exposure,...
- This $3,820,922 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will establish a Climate Change and Health Center focused on a "community-driven, health-first approach to climate action and the energy transition." The center's key innovations include developing a scenario health risk model for energy policy decision-making, conducting a pilot study on the impacts of climate change...
- This $704,105 Project Grant was awarded on May 1, 2025 by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The grant supports a study on the impact of multiple long-term environmental exposures, such as air pollution and climate factors, on the incidence of asthma throughout the lifespan. The project will leverage the resources of several large prospective cohort studies, including the Nurses' Health Studies and...
- This $441,027 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), will support research to investigate the long-term health and work disability consequences of exposure to extreme heat among older workers in heat-sensitive occupations. The research project, titled "Scorching Circumstances: The Role of Extreme Heat in Disability Among Older Workers in Heat Sensitive Jobs", will...
- This $417,272 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), aims to develop an early-warning system to enhance the resilience of dialysis communities against health threats from wildfires and extreme heat events. The key products or services to be delivered include: Proposing a statistical model to quantify the risk of all-cause mortality and hospitalization associated with...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), through its Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $3,140,397 Project Grant to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The grant aims to investigate the adverse health impacts of extreme heat, air pollution, and medications on low-income pregnant women and their offspring, with a focus on the implications of climate change. The interdisciplinary research team at Rutgers will design a series of...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will fund a multi-site study to investigate the relationships between climate change-related extreme weather events and acute and chronic health outcomes in children. The $687,343 award to Drexel University will support efforts to: 1) estimate associations between extreme weather (hot temperatures, heatwaves, heavy rainfall, and intense...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $679,906 Project Grant to Geisinger Clinic to conduct research on the impacts of extreme heat on cardiovascular and pulmonary health outcomes. The research aims to systematically characterize the relationship between heat exposure and exacerbations of chronic conditions such as asthma, COPD, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke. Geisinger Clinic, a large integrated health system in Pennsylvania, will use its electronic health record data to identify relevant emergency department visits and hospitalizations, and link patients to heat exposure data to perform case-crossover analyses. The findings are intended to inform health system efforts to protect patients and communities from the health impacts of extreme heat events, which pose a significant and growing risk due to climate change.
