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...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $143,331.00 to Wayne State University to conduct research investigating the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure on male reproductive health. The research aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms by which PFAS mixtures affect spermatogenesis, sperm epigenetics, and extracellular vesicles called epididymosomes. Key...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research to define the neurotoxic and neurodevelopmental health risks of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The $546,350 award, effective January 13, 2025 through October 31, 2029, aims to characterize the mechanisms by which PFAS affect brain development and function. Key objectives include defining PFAS uptake...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $719,892 to New York University (NYU) to conduct research on the impact of phthalate and bisphenol exposure on infant reproductive development during a critical early life stage known as "minipuberty." The research project will enroll 480 infants and their mothers, collecting urine, blood, and breast milk samples to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $499,454.23 to the University of Massachusetts to develop edible sorbent therapies that can effectively reduce exposures to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from dietary sources. The project aims to derive multicomponent sorbents from naturally occurring or generally recognized as safe materials, and validate their ability to...
This federal Project Grant award of $756,318.00 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), will support research investigating the environmental health impacts of polyethoxylated surfactants. The research aims to comprehensively assess how these ubiquitous chemicals disrupt metabolic health, particularly their potential to promote unhealthy visceral adipose expansion through thyroid hormone receptor antagonism....
This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program provides $306,871 to Million Marker Wellness Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned small business, to conduct a 16-week randomized clinical trial. The trial will examine whether Million Marker's endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) intervention program can reduce weight, and whether a digital weight loss program can reduce EDC exposures, in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, provides $695,853 to the Arkansas Children's Research Institute (ACRI) from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2029. The project will investigate the impact of prenatal and postnatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on children's development, examining the role of placental function and the potential protective...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research investigating the joint effects of early life lead exposure and psychosocial co-exposures on physiological stress and cardiometabolic health across the life course. The $107,493 award, effective March 20, 2025 through February 28, 2027, will enable the Regents of the University of Michigan to: 1) characterize the risk and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, aims to investigate how polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) impact the crosstalk between adipocytes (fat cells) and macrophages (immune cells) in adipose tissue. The total funding amount is $171,064 and the project period runs from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The research will have two main objectives: 1) Assessing how PCB-exposed...

This Project Grant award of $459,522 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program will support research by Michigan State University (MSU) to investigate the relationship between consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) during pregnancy. The study will use previously collected data from the Illinois Kids Development Study (I-KIDS) pregnancy cohort to: 1) estimate associations between UPF consumption in the first trimester and maternal metabolic markers in mid-pregnancy; 2) evaluate associations between UPF consumption and urinary/serum levels of phthalates, bisphenols, parabens, and perfluoroalkyl substances across pregnancy; and 3) quantify the extent that EDC exposures mediate the associations between UPF consumption and maternal metabolic outcomes. The award period is from Jul 15, 2025 to Jun 30, 2027.
