The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $567,093 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) to the University of California, Berkeley to study the impact of wildfire exposure on DNA methylation and health outcomes. The project aims to: 1) develop comprehensive wildfire exposure assessments for a cohort of 5,000 adults in Northern California; 2) collect additional health, lifestyle, and exposure data from the cohort; and 3) conduct a pilot study on 400...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program is providing $213,284 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to study the mechanisms by which wildfire smoke exposure impacts health, particularly for those with asthma. The research aims to examine how extracellular vesicles and the HIF-1 hypoxia pathway influence the health effects of wildfire smoke, both in...
The federal Project Grant award K23ES035447 was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program. The $241,811 award supports research to investigate the relationship between air pollution exposure, social vulnerability, and the development of progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The principal investigator, Dr. MacMurdo, aims to leverage a unique patient cohort to:...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $1,377,026 Project Grant (R01ES035791) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The grant will fund a randomized controlled trial in Ghana to assess how early life exposure to household air pollution (HAP) from cooking fires impacts the human microbiome and virome over childhood, and how these changes affect lung function and growth. The study aims to build...
This federal Project Grant award for $704,105, awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports a research project aimed at studying the complex associations between multiple long-term environmental exposures and the incidence of asthma. The project will leverage the extensive data resources of large nationwide cohort studies, including the Nurses' Health Studies and the Growing Up Today Studies, to assess...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a 5-year, $1,344,014 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to Brown University to conduct a study on the environmental and health impacts of wood pellet production in Mississippi.
