Project Grant R21ES037735
- This Project Grant award, totaling $306,789, was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The grant aims to develop an at-home lateral flow assay (LFA) system for rapid, low-cost detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water samples. The innovative approach integrates a magnetic nanoparticle pre-concentration method to achieve the sensitivity required by EPA standards, down...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), provides $546,350 to fund a study to "Define the Neurotoxic and Neurodevelopmental Health Risks of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)". The key objectives of this 4.5-year research project are to: 1) Characterize the mechanisms by which PFAS facilitate neuronal uptake and accumulation; 2) Elucidate the...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113), is supporting research to investigate the long-term metabolic, vascular, and bone health effects of prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mixtures. The $463,850 award to Brown University will leverage the New England Family Study (NEFS) cohort to measure PFAS concentrations in stored pregnancy and...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a Project Grant of $157,500.00 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) to pilot a study on developmental exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and its potential interactions with genetic factors that may contribute to the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study aims to investigate how...
- The University of Massachusetts Lowell received a $157,437 Project Grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), to study the urinary, biliary, and fecal excretion of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and the impact of dietary fiber. The project aims to investigate the extent of enterohepatic recirculation of PFAS, which contributes to their long half-lives and increased risk of adverse...
- This federal Project Grant award, in the amount of $385,219, was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health grant program (CFDA 93.113). The award supports research at the University of Rhode Island to investigate the role of albumin and other serum factors in the accumulation and toxicity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The research aims to determine whether albumin is a key factor for PFAS distribution and...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $474,639 Project Grant under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) to North Carolina State University. The grant is for a project titled "Spatial and Tensor Methods for Estimating the Health Effects of PFAS Mixtures", which runs from June 10, 2025 to March 30, 2029. The project aims to employ innovative spatial and high-dimensional causal inference methods to enhance understanding of the...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $709,575 to the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on bone health in the Latino population. The key products and services to be delivered through this 5-year grant, which begins on January 3, 2025, include: Determining the associations between plasma PFAS...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded Wayne State University a 3-year, $1,644,161 Project Grant under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to study the effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on atherosclerosis and cholesterol metabolism. The project aims to determine if PFAS mixtures accelerate atherosclerosis in a mouse model, assess how PFAS disrupts bile acid reuptake and leads to increased cholesterol levels, and evaluate the...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $390,337 Project Grant under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to develop the PFAS Exposure Burden Calculator. This novel tool will enable cross-study harmonization, biomonitoring, and report-back for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure levels. The project, which runs from Jul 2025 to May 2030, will expand the existing PFAS exposure...
This Project Grant award of $456,328 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is funding a study titled "Patterns of Autoimmune Biomarkers Among Metal/Metalloid and Organochemical-Exposed Native American/Alaska Native Tribal Members". The study aims to quantify levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and toxic metals/metalloids in serum and urine samples from over 1,100 tribal members across 15 tribes in 5 states. The research team will also assess the relationship between these environmental exposures and autoimmune biomarkers to better understand the impacts on the health of these tribal communities. The study runs from September 2025 through September 2027 and is being conducted by the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center.
