The University of Texas at Arlington received a $605,091 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), effective April 16, 2026 through April 15, 2029. The award supports development of CONNECT (Cohort-Oriented Network Knowledgebase for Enhanced Collaboration), a directed knowledge graph and web-based resource that synthesizes and harmonizes environmental health findings from published cohort studies focused on children's health. The project addresses a critical gap in the environmental health research community by creating a unified, accessible platform for managing and sharing multi-cohort research knowledge. The deliverables include: (1) an artificial intelligence-assisted knowledge extraction pipeline with prompt engineering capabilities to harmonize environmental health knowledge from published cohort studies; (2) the CONNECT knowledgebase platform designed specifically for children's environmental health research; and (3) a web-based tool that provides user access to the knowledgebase and demonstrates its utility for the environmental health research community. By consolidating and organizing existing cohort study knowledge, this resource will enable researchers and public health practitioners to leverage comprehensive environmental health data to advance understanding of how chemical exposures, lifestyle factors, and genetics contribute to children's health outcomes across diverse populations.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
