This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will fund the development of high-throughput functional assays and analytical approaches to comprehensively measure DNA repair capacity across major repair pathways at single-cell resolution. The $390,366 award to The Broad Institute, Inc. will be used to generate a library of reporter plasmids to signal DNA repair in 500 well-characterized...
This $1,846,071 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research to investigate the impact of environmental toxicants on the epigenetic regulation of the human endogenous retrovirus HML-2 in primordial germ cells. The research aims to determine how exposure to chemicals like PFOA, dieldrin, and benzo[a]pyrene can impair the epigenetic silencing of HML-2, potentially leading to...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $244,750 to Washington State University (WSU) to conduct research on the role of the ELF1 protein in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER). The project aims to understand how ELF1 recruits the TFIIH complex to facilitate TC-NER, and how this process is regulated by phosphorylation and interactions with other...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $1,774,913 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to the University of Rochester. The goal of this 5-year project is to determine how developmental exposure to a mixture of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) disrupts humoral immune defenses against respiratory virus infection. The research will define the contribution of T cells and B cells to the effects of...
This $440,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health program, will support researchers at Northwestern University in developing an unbiased, global map of the cellular response to environmental proteotoxic stress.
The key objectives are to: 1) Integrate Northwestern's chemical-genetic screening platform with their computational FIREWORKS pipeline to identify critical components, functions, and...
The Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program provides $1,563,582 in funding to a partnership between Henry Ford Health and Michigan State University Health Sciences. The project aims to elucidate the mechanism by which the synthetic food additive tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) inhibits T cell function and impairs the adaptive immune response to influenza. Key research objectives...
This $1,215,336 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research to understand the effects of wildfire smoke exposure on respiratory antiviral defense responses. The project aims to 1) determine the mechanisms by which wildfire smoke exposure modifies antiviral defense functions in human nasal epithelial cells, and identify the chemical signatures driving these responses,...
This $186,075 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program supports research at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) to investigate the role of the ACOD1-itaconate immunometabolic pathway in regulating lung monocyte/macrophage inflammatory processes induced by environmental exposures.
The key objectives are to determine the functional effects of modulating the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program provides $102,399 to Wright State University to study the role of extracellular damaged DNA in triggering systemic inflammatory responses in photosensitive autoimmune disorders like lupus. The research aims to demonstrate the presence of UV-damaged DNA in extracellular vesicles and correlate it with disease severity and serum nuclease...
This federal Project Grant award, issued by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, aims to develop a "blood-based" analytical tool to rapidly detect mutational profiles associated with exposure to environmental toxicants. The $238,500 award to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) spanning June 2024 to May 2026 will pursue three specific aims:
Quantify the levels of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in...
