- 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 $313,372 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) supports the development of an environmental sensor for the detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). PFAS are a class of "forever chemicals" that have widespread contamination in the environment and pose significant human health risks. The funding will enable the awardee, Pearlhill Technologies LLC, to...
- 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $121,057 to Trustees of Boston University (doing business as Boston University Medical Campus) to conduct a prospective study investigating associations between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) mixtures and pregnancy outcomes among Black women. The research aims to: 1) evaluate the association of a PFAS mixture with adverse...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $3,121,590.00 and funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), supports research conducted by Duke University to investigate the impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure on placental function and fetal development. The key objectives of the research are to: 1) examine mitochondrial perturbations associated with PFBS (an emerging PFAS compound)...
- 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 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 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), will support Framergy, Inc., in collaboration with Texas A&M University, to develop a simple and low-cost method for detecting a broad range of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that can be used as an at-home test kit. The $260,993 award, granted on June 1, 2025, will fund research to leverage novel metal-organic framework...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $143,331 Project Grant to Wayne State University to investigate the molecular impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure on male reproductive health. The research aims to use single-cell RNA sequencing and analysis of epididymal extracellular vesicles to decipher how PFAS exposure affects spermatogenesis, sperm epigenetics, and overall...
- This $701,121 federal Project Grant award from the Department of Defense's Defense Health Agency, issued under the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420), supports research on the ovarian-disrupting effects and mechanisms of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The project is being conducted by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey's RBHS-School of Nursing over a 3-year period from September 2023 to September 2026. The research aims to develop a better...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) [CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health] will provide $461,758 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to characterize the leaching of metals and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from tampons, and investigate the vaginal absorption and adverse effects of these contaminants on vaginal cell function and viability. The 2-year research project will conduct in vitro bioelution studies using a range of tampon products to simulate real-world exposure scenarios, and assess the bioavailability and potential health impacts of these chemicals that come into direct contact with the vaginal mucosa. This research aims to address critical data gaps regarding toxicants in tampons and their vaginal absorption, in order to inform the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's evaluation of tampon safety.
