This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $389,229 to assess the effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on intestinal health. The project will leverage 3D human and mouse intestinal models to examine how different plastic particle characteristics and exposure durations impact gut homeostasis, inflammation, and the role of specialized microfold (M) cells in mediating immune...
This $719,892 Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) on April 25, 2025, will support research by New York University School of Medicine to investigate the impact of prenatal and postnatal exposure to phthalates and bisphenols on infant reproductive development during "minipuberty" - a critical early life period. The project will analyze maternal urine, infant urine and serum, and maternal breast milk...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $428,387 to Purdue University to investigate the toxicological impacts of environmentally relevant nanoplastics. The research aims to quantify how nanoplastics interact with common environmental contaminants and biomolecules, and how these interactions influence cellular responses and toxicity. Purdue will develop a novel procedure to...
This $637,553 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will fund research to assess the toxicity, uptake, and biodistribution of environmentally relevant micro-nanoplastics (MNPs) and the role of intestinal inflammation. The 5-year project led by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey will: Develop and characterize MNPs composed of major plastic polymers to enable accurate quantification and...
This Project Grant award of $453,688.00 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms linking microplastics exposure to the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). The research project, conducted by the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, will unveil how microplastics trigger Piezo1-dependent oxidative stress and Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF)-3A...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $390,724 to the University of New Mexico to develop a proof-of-concept prototype for a "Standing Wave Acoustics for Nanoplastics Separations" (SWANS) platform. The SWANS system will use acoustic standing waves to rapidly isolate and enrich plastic nanoparticles from various samples, including bottled water, environmental water,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program provides $404,989 to investigate the mechanisms of nanoplastic transport in the brain. The key research objectives are to: 1) examine the uptake and distribution of nanoplastics in the mouse olfactory system, and 2) study how nanoplastics may interact with kinesin motor proteins to be actively transported into the brain. This two-year...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $1,377,026 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) in New York. The grant will fund a 5-year study titled "Prenatal and Infant Household Air Pollution Exposure, the Human Microbiome and Virome, and Childhood Lung Function: The GRAPHS Randomized Controlled Trial in Low- and Middle-Income Countries." The research aims to...
This Project Grant award of $499,454.23 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research to develop edible sorbent therapies that can mitigate dietary exposures to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals." The project aims to create multicomponent sorbents derived from naturally occurring or generally recognized as safe materials that can effectively reduce...
This 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 support research on the neurotoxic and neurodevelopmental health risks of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The primary objectives are to: 1) define the chemical interactions that mediate neuronal uptake and accumulation of PFAS, 2) elucidate the neurotoxic effects of PFAS and their mixtures in vitro and in...
