- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded $114,072 to Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, School of Nursing, on September 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate mechanisms of micro-nanoplastics uptake, translocation, and toxicity in in vitro human intestinal models. The research explores how micro-nanoplastics—small plastic particles from environmental breakdown of waste—enter and cross biological barriers, particularly the...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey $431,750 on July 10, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to support five years of research on internal N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification in RNA metabolism through September 30, 2031. The research investigates how internal m7G—a recently discovered RNA modification positioned within mRNA transcript bodies—regulates RNA metabolism and gene...
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, doing business as RBHS-School of Nursing, $321,304 on April 1, 2026, under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859, Assistance Listing R35GM162265) to conduct research on the metabolic regulation of innate immunity-dependent wound healing in situ. The research employs zebrafish (Danio rerio) as an in vivo model to dissect multi-cellular interactions during tissue...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey $235,500 on June 17, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to establish proof-of-concept for nucleotide-competing inhibitors (NCIs) targeting HIV-1 and LINE-1 reverse transcriptases. The research develops NCIs that block polymerase active sites without requiring incorporation into nucleic acids, addressing limitations of existing nucleoside...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (RBHS-School of Nursing) $554,766 on June 1, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to investigate mechanisms underlying susceptibility to ozone-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome. The research focuses on why only some patients with sepsis develop acute respiratory distress syndrome and how exposure to air pollutants such as ozone exacerbates this...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded $117,938 to Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, School of Nursing on January 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to fund Project Grant F31ES037190. The recipient will examine prenatal cadmium exposure, placental transporter proteins, and child health outcomes. The work leverages existing data from an estimated 4,763 mother-child pairs across 13 cohorts in the NIH's Environmental Influences on...
- 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 Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, doing business as RBHS-School of Nursing, $398,640 under Project Grant R24OD039767 on September 1, 2026, to examine the effects of caging density, temperature, and cage-change frequency on the rigor and reproducibility of research conducted with mouse models. The recipient will employ home cage monitoring, video recording, ultrasonic vocalization recording, and telemetry to assess how...
- The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, doing business as RBHS-School of Nursing, $894,019 on July 1, 2026, under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to model and manipulate transcription factor activities to shorten tuberculosis therapy and improve TB diagnostics. The research develops machine learning models trained on transcription factor activity profiles to predict Mycobacterium tuberculosis...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, an office within the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey (doing business as RBHS-School of Nursing) $353,250 on August 1, 2026, under the Medical Library Assistance program (CFDA 93.879) to develop novel computational methods for analyzing gene regulatory networks and massively parallel reporter assay data in a cell-type-specific manner. The project will create innovative computational models integrating MPRA data with other genomic assays and deep learning approaches to reconstruct gene regulatory networks, identify condition-specific regulators, and assess the functional impact of non-coding genetic variants on gene expression and disease risk. The recipient is conducting the research at its Piscataway, New Jersey location through July 31, 2030. The work addresses a gap in computational tooling for analyzing regulatory element functionality and aims to make these methods accessible to the broader research community.
