The federal Project Grant award R01ES035791 was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program. The $1,377,026 grant supports a research project titled "Prenatal and Infant Household Air Pollution Exposure, the Human Microbiome and Virome, and Childhood Lung Function: The GRAPHS Randomized Controlled Trial" at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The research aims to assess how randomized early...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $631,630 to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct a long-term follow-up study on the health impacts of a household air pollution intervention in Puno, Peru. The 4-year study (9/15/2024 - 6/30/2028) will measure clinical outcomes, exposure levels, and behavioral factors among a cohort of 709 children who previously participated in an 18-month liquefied...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $1,170,080 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) to Emory University to conduct the "Applied Implementation Research for Clean Cooking in Cambodia (AIR-C3)" study. The goal is to design and demonstrate the effectiveness of a scalable strategy for achieving equitable access to and sustained use of induction-based clean cooking in low- and middle-income settings. The study will employ a hybrid cluster...
This $175,000 Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 66.034 - Surveys, Studies, Research, Investigations, Demonstrations, and Special Purpose Activities Relating to the Clean Air Act program aims to amplify and expand national-scale capacity to address indoor environmental determinants of health, reduce indoor air risks, and accelerate sustainable policy and systems-level actions that address indoor air quality. The National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) will...
This federal Project Grant award of $893,525 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will fund a 40-month multi-component intervention to protect lung health in Nepal. The intervention will target multiple risk factors for chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) such as tobacco smoking, indoor and ambient air pollution, infectious diseases, and physical inactivity. The project will screen and enroll 800 at-risk...
This $343,146 Project Grant was awarded on August 7, 2024 by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The funding will support research by the Regents of the University of Minnesota to investigate the mortality risk associated with air pollution exposure, specifically fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone, among individuals with chronic respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD. The key objectives...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $313,372.00 to ITA International LLC to develop a holistic methodology for quantifying concentrations of ultrafine particulates (UFPs), microplastics (MNPs), and engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in production environments. The goal is to create tools that can reliably quantify these respiratory threats and compare exposures to established...
This $598,560 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will support the implementation and evaluation of a lead exposure intervention program in Nairobi, Kenya. The project aims to adapt successful lead exposure screening and risk reduction strategies from the U.S. for the Nairobi context, pilot test the protocols with a cohort of mother-child dyads, and then implement the refined program at a...
This $174,323 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program) supports a research project at Temple University examining the association between residential ambient air pollution and pediatric hospitalization due to acute respiratory disease across New York State.

This $272,910 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) aims to optimize the use of portable air cleaners (PACs) to reduce household exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Uganda. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award include:

  1. Identifying and optimizing environmental factors that maximize PM2.5 reduction with PAC use in real-world Ugandan households through controlled experiments and field testing.

  2. Designing and testing an optimal power supply system, including solar and battery backup, to enable continuous PAC operation in settings with unreliable electricity access.

  3. Evaluating the feasibility, acceptability, and adherence to a PAC intervention among Ugandan families with children with a history of pneumonia through surveys, diaries, and focus groups.

The project will be led by the Massachusetts General Hospital, with Ugandan research partner Walimu providing in-country implementation support and the Berkeley Air Monitoring Group contributing air quality assessment expertise. The findings from this project are intended to provide the scientific justification for a future R01-funded intervention trial of PACs in a low-and-middle-income country setting.
