This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research to define the neurotoxic and neurodevelopmental health risks of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The $546,350 award, effective January 13, 2025 through October 31, 2029, aims to characterize the mechanisms by which PFAS affect brain development and function. Key objectives include defining PFAS uptake...
The University of California, Davis has been awarded a $423,657 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) to study the impact of neonatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The research aims to determine if neonatal PFOA exposure leads to long-term deficits in the microbiota-gut-brain axis, including impacts on gut physiology and behavior, as well as whether...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, will fund research at Wayne State University to investigate how exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) impacts placental health and susceptibility to infection-mediated preterm birth. The $1,651,801 award, effective September 5, 2024 through June 30, 2029, will allow the principal investigator, Dr. Petriello, to study how PFAS...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, provides $695,853 to the Arkansas Children's Research Institute (ACRI) from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2029. The project will investigate the impact of prenatal and postnatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on children's development, examining the role of placental function and the potential protective...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, provides $561,584 to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to study the ovarian disrupting effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on female reproductive health. The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which PFAS exposure, particularly perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), interferes with ovarian...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $164,561.00 to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to study the potential mediating role of cytokines and DNA methylation in the association between prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and the development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. The research aims to:...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $143,331.00 to Wayne State University to conduct research investigating the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure on male reproductive health. The research aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms by which PFAS mixtures affect spermatogenesis, sperm epigenetics, and extracellular vesicles called epididymosomes. Key...
This $478,503 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) supports research to investigate the impact of prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children. The award will leverage the existing GUSTO mother-child cohort in Singapore to conduct comprehensive assessments, including proton magnetic resonance...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), provides $474,639 to North Carolina State University (NC State) to conduct research on the health effects of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mixtures. The project aims to develop innovative spatial and tensor-based causal inference methods to enhance the understanding of PFAS exposure and its impacts on population health....
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $121,057 to Trustees of Boston University (doing business as Boston University Medical Campus) to conduct a prospective study investigating associations between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) mixtures and pregnancy outcomes among Black women. The research aims to: 1) evaluate the association of a PFAS mixture with adverse...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) provides $157,500 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to pilot studies on the potential link between prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk. The research aims to examine how PFAS exposure during development may interact with genetic factors to influence fetal neurodevelopment and ASD-relevant behaviors in offspring. Key activities include assessing the neurodevelopmental effects of exposure to two common PFAS species (PFOS and PFOA) at human-relevant doses, evaluating associated immune dysfunction profiles, and integrating transcriptomic data to identify gene pathways underlying ASD risk. This 2-year feasibility study is intended to inform future research on early environmental influences on ASD pathogenesis.
