This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $180,000 to conduct research on wildfire-generated nanoparticles and their impact on human health and the environment. The research aims to: 1) determine how temperature, composition of combustible materials, and soil composition influence the metal chemistry of fine particulate matter; 2) identify the mineralogy, metal associations, and morphology of these particles; and 3) examine how...
This R21 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $433,950 to the University of California, Davis to study the impact of wildfire smoke exposure on lung injury and disease in pediatric populations. The key objectives are to: 1) Define the contribution of age on the toxicity of wood smoke particles in respiratory and alveolar epithelium, 2) Investigate the effect of early life wood...
This Project Grant award, valued at $1,432,351.00 and awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research to investigate the relationship between exposure to metal mixtures and the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) across diverse populations. The key objectives of the research are to: 1) evaluate the roles of metals and metal mixtures in CHD risk; 2) assess genetic susceptibility to the effects of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, will support research investigating the impacts of environmental exposures, such as heat stress and wildfire smoke, on cardiovascular health over the life course. The $781,268 award to the University of Southern California will enable a longitudinal study of 400 young adults, analyzing how exposures from childhood to early adulthood...
This $213,284 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will support research to investigate the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mediating the health effects of wildfire smoke exposure, particularly in individuals with asthma. The key objectives are to examine whether EV release and content associated with the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) pathway differentiate the...
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 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $158,548 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to characterize the effects of wood smoke exposure on the respiratory microbiome and its role in modulating the host response. The key objectives are to: 1) Characterize the structural and functional changes of the respiratory microbiota and its metabolome after wood...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of South Carolina. The purpose of this RAPID award is to examine the concentration, composition, and properties of metals, metal-bearing nanomaterials, and environmentally persistent free radicals in fire ash and soil collected following the recent Maui wildfire. The research aims to 1) quantify the levels of these contaminants, 2) characterize their properties and...
This Project Grant award, valued at $370,980.00, was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The primary objective is to conduct a meta-transcriptomic assessment of chronic respiratory exposure to cobalt-based nanomaterials using a microfluidic three-dimensional lung model. This research aims to determine the potential for these nanomaterials to cause lung injury or predispose individuals to...
This $427,625 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program will support research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to characterize the pulmonary immune response induced by single and multiple exposures to combustion products from military burn pits. The studies will use a controlled furnace to burn various components found in military burn pits, including plastics,...
