- 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...
- This federal Project Grant award of $165,108.00 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, will support research investigating the effects of gestational exposure to extreme heat and neighborhood heat vulnerability on early life blood pressure trajectories. The study aims to 1) describe trends in extreme heat events and disparities in exposure and neighborhood vulnerability, 2) examine associations between...
- This $3,690,905 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports the CATALYST (Community Climate Health Equity Research Center) initiative. The primary objective is to generate evidence on how extreme climate events, such as heat waves and poor air quality, impact health outcomes like hypertension and asthma among patients served by community health centers (CHCs) - organizations that provide...
- This federal Project Grant award of $441,027 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, will support research investigating the health and work disability consequences of exposure to extreme heat among older workers in heat-sensitive occupations. The Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) - Baruch College will conduct this 2-year project to: 1) assess whether heat-sensitive work modifies the...
- This $409,687 Project Grant was awarded on June 24, 2025 by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program. The grant supports a large case-control study with follow-up of approximately 1,000 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and as many community controls in the California Central Valley. The study aims to assess the impact of wildfire smoke and heat on cognition, mood, and the human metabolome in this...
- This federal Project Grant award of $155,500.00 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will fund research to evaluate the impact of prenatal exposure to wildfire smoke particulate matter (PM2.5) on early life airway health outcomes in a cohort of 10,000 children. The 2-year project aims to: 1) assess the risk of airway symptoms and respiratory hospitalizations associated with average smoke PM2.5 and number of...
- This $595,043 Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant titled "PURE-CLIMATE: IDENTIFYING AND ADAPTING TO CLIMATE CHANGE AS A MODIFIABLE RISK FACTOR FOR HUMAN HEALTH" will leverage the existing infrastructure and data of the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study to establish a global study on the impacts of climate change on human...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $793,443 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program to Trustees of Tufts College in Massachusetts. The grant will fund a 5-year study to characterize the immediate and cumulative health impacts associated with extreme weather events, as well as identify key determinants of community vulnerability and resilience in the Gulf and Southeastern Atlantic U.S. coastal regions. The interdisciplinary...
This Project Grant award from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) under the Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes (CFDA 93.226) program provides $372,713 to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct a national-scale assessment of the impact of extreme heat events and wildfires on patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the associations between exposure to extreme heat events and hospitalization/mortality risk for ESKD patients, examining how this risk varies by demographic and clinical factors; 2) examine the relationship between wildfire smoke/particulate matter exposure and hospitalization/mortality risk for ESKD patients; and 3) investigate the interactive effect of wildfires and extreme heat on health outcomes for this patient population. The project will leverage data on over 2,500 dialysis clinics operated by Fresenius Medical Care North America to conduct this comprehensive national analysis. The findings are expected to inform management guidelines and early warning systems to help healthcare facilities better prepare for and respond to the impacts of climate change on vulnerable patient populations.
