This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, provides $561,584 to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to study the ovarian disrupting effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on female reproductive health. The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which PFAS exposure, particularly perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), interferes with ovarian...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, will fund research to investigate the potential impacts of developmental exposure to pyrethroid pesticides on neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) using the prairie vole as an animal model. The $605,550 award, effective May 1, 2025 through February 28, 2030, will support the University of Toledo in conducting a comprehensive...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $626,812 to the University of Illinois to investigate novel cytoplasmic remodeling mechanisms during the vertebrate oocyte-to-embryo transition. The research aims to: 1) determine the evolutionary conservation of remodeling the endoplasmic reticulum, regulated mRNA-ER association, and RNA phase transition during this critical...
The University of Vermont will receive $683,490 over five years from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive federal grants program. The project aims to study how sublethal exposure to the neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid impacts multigenerational and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance of insecticide tolerance in the Colorado potato beetle. Researchers will use an...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $431,750 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to the University of California, Irvine (UCI). The 2-year grant, awarded on January 9, 2025, will support research to investigate a new signaling mechanism that triggers an innate immune response specifically after DNA damage blocks transcription. The study aims to determine how environmental agents that suppress transcription through...
The National Institutes of Health National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded a $924,612 Project Grant to the California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant will fund research from August 2022 to July 2025 to advance chemical risk assessment and predictive toxicology through the development, validation and integration of high-throughput mechanistic in vitro assays. Specifically, the grantee will...
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 $728,408 to investigate genetic factors that influence susceptibility to pesticide-induced Parkinson's disease. The research aims to biologically validate novel candidate gene variants identified through prior epidemiological studies. The project involves two complementary research approaches: 1) evaluating the effects...
This federal Project Grant award of $795,848 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will support research at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to examine the impacts of prenatal wildfire smoke exposure on maternal immune function, epigenetic changes in children, and subsequent child neurodevelopmental and behavioral outcomes. The research aims to elucidate the immunologic and epigenetic pathways...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, will fund research to identify seminal plasma metabolomic signatures associated with paternal phthalate exposure and reproductive health outcomes, such as fertilization, embryo quality, time-to-pregnancy, and probability of live birth. The $1,297,332 award, effective September 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029, will support the following...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, will fund research at Wayne State University to investigate how exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) impacts placental health and susceptibility to infection-mediated preterm birth. The $1,651,801 award, effective September 5, 2024 through June 30, 2029, will allow the principal investigator, Dr. Petriello, to study how PFAS...
