- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded The Johns Hopkins University $3,381,122 on August 17, 2026 for research examining extreme weather impacts and interventions for childhood asthma. The award is made under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), a Project Grant assistance type. The research will estimate associations between extreme heat, air pollution, and extreme...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $7,698,402 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to Brown University to establish the "Climate, Health, and Aging Innovation and Research Solutions for Communities (CHAIRS-C)" center. The center aims to advance science on the adverse health impacts of climate change, particularly for aging populations, and develop solutions to promote healthy aging. Key objectives...
- The National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University $4,048,745 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine the long-term health effects of extreme weather events on post-acute care patients with Alzheimer's dementia and related dementias in skilled nursing facilities. The recipient will conduct quantitative and qualitative research across three aims. Aim 1 examines the impact of extreme...
- 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...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the University of Miami $2,269,361 on September 15, 2025, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate urban heat island exposure and its impact on Alzheimer's disease and related dementia outcomes among older adults in South Florida. The study will measure recent and cumulative urban heat island exposure for 500 participants in the Healthy Brain Initiative, a longitudinal cohort of 50-year-olds with no,...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the University of Alabama at Birmingham $409,750 on August 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate the mechanisms by which recurrent heat stress-induced dehydration injures kidney function in aging and aged mice. The research will test whether repeat heat stress accelerates age-related kidney functional decline, whether it exacerbates pro-inflammatory versus anti-inflammatory immune cell ratios...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded $441,027 to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), doing business as RFCUNY - Baruch College, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2027. This project grant supports research investigating the role of extreme heat exposure in disability among older workers employed in heat-sensitive occupations....
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $465,667 to the University of California, Los Angeles on July 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health grant program (CFDA 93.113). The award funds epidemiological research examining how pregnant women and those at conception exposed to the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires (Pacific Palisades and Altadena fires) adopted and responded to risk mitigation strategies. The research...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded Uv01 Technologies, Inc. $306,548 under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) on August 1, 2026, to develop CLYR-VUE, an artificial intelligence and machine learning-powered just-in-time adaptive intervention that addresses indoor air pollution exposure in residential homes. The recipient will develop hardware and software infrastructure incorporating...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded $471,196 to Aurora Health Care, Inc. on September 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to examine how weather-related barriers affect primary care utilization in older adults with chronic conditions. The recipient will quantify the impact of inclement weather—including extreme temperatures, high heat index, and heavy precipitation—on missed primary care visits among elderly adults with chronic conditions and evaluate whether telemedicine can mitigate these effects. The research responds to a documented gap: while no-show rates for primary care visits range from 4 to 55 percent nationally and cost the healthcare system over $150 billion annually, the relationship between specific weather events and missed visits remains understudied in elderly populations and those with chronic disease. The study will identify which patients face the greatest risk and the magnitude of primary care disruption caused by weather, with particular attention to common chronic conditions including diabetes, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and Alzheimer's disease and other neurocognitive disorders. The award is structured as a Project Grant, a form of assistance funding. Aurora Health Care, Inc., a nonprofit healthcare entity based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serves as the recipient organization. Performance of work will occur in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028.
