Project Grant R03ES037819
- This $295,923 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program aims to optimize and validate a low-cost, minimally-invasive dried blood spot (DBS) collection device for accurately quantifying low blood lead levels (BLLs) in a single drop of capillary blood. The device will incorporate innovative and patented technologies to remove lead contamination from the filter paper, protect the paper from...
- This $400,847 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), supports research at Louisiana State University (LSU) to investigate the role of noradrenergic signaling in mediating lead-induced alterations in stress responses. The research aims to delineate how early developmental exposure to lead disrupts noradrenergic signaling through the locus coeruleus, and how these neurological...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), provides $546,350 to fund a study to "Define the Neurotoxic and Neurodevelopmental Health Risks of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)". The key objectives of this 4.5-year research project are to: 1) Characterize the mechanisms by which PFAS facilitate neuronal uptake and accumulation; 2) Elucidate the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, will support research on the impact of early-life exposure to metal mixtures from ferroalloy industrial emissions on adolescent cognition. The $147,486 award to the Trustees of Boston University Medical Campus will leverage rich exposure data and advanced statistical techniques to examine the effects of metal mixture exposure during...
- The Project Grant award titled "CELL-FREE DNA METHYLATION PATTERNS AND MITOCHONDRIAL THERAPEUTICS IN A RODENT MODEL OF ORGANOPHOSPHATE POISONING" is funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The $821,373 award, which runs from August 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030, aims to further delineate the mitochondrial involvement in acute and chronic organophosphate (OP) poisoning. The research project...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $306,789, was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The grant aims to develop an at-home lateral flow assay (LFA) system for rapid, low-cost detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water samples. The innovative approach integrates a magnetic nanoparticle pre-concentration method to achieve the sensitivity required by EPA standards, down...
- This $313,372 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) supports the development of an environmental sensor for the detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). PFAS are a class of "forever chemicals" that have widespread contamination in the environment and pose significant human health risks. The funding will enable the awardee, Pearlhill Technologies LLC, to...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), provides $124,728 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct research on the impact of gestational and childhood exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on adolescent neurobehavior. The key objectives of the research project are to: 1) assess the associations between gestational EDC exposure and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), is funding the development of a sensor for monitoring orthophosphates in wastewater. The goal is to enable efficient wastewater treatment through data-driven process control strategies. The award of $313,220 to Max-Ir Labs Incorporated, a woman-owned small business in Dallas, Texas, supports the creation of a sensor prototype based on...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), through its Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $156,486 Project Grant to Brown University to investigate the impact of cumulative lead exposure on cognitive processing therapy outcomes in veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The research aims to: 1) understand how specific sources of lead exposure, such as firearm use, impact overall lead levels in this vulnerable population, and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), provides $146,624 to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) to develop nucleic acid aptamers as interventions for developmental neurotoxicity caused by lead (Pb) poisoning. The key objective is to create prophylactic strategies to protect children from the permanent neurotoxic effects of cumulative lead exposure, which remains a pervasive public health problem. WPI will leverage its expertise in areas like robotics, materials science, and computational technologies to investigate aptamers as a potential solution to prevent lead ingestion and mitigate associated health risks. The project is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2027.
