- The federal Project Grant award of $473,523 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) will support Dr. Xiao Wu's research to develop an evaluation framework for assessing the effectiveness of heat warning systems and an implementation framework for informing when and where to issue heat alerts to maximize health benefits. The research will study the causal effects of heat alerts on daily, cause-specific health...
- This is a Project Grant award of $165,108 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The grant is being awarded to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study the effects of gestational exposure to extreme heat and neighborhood heat vulnerability on early childhood blood pressure trajectories. The research aims to investigate the associations between exposure to extreme heat during...
- This $781,268 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) will fund research at the University of Southern California to investigate the cardiovascular health impacts of environmental exposures to heat stress and wildfire smoke over the life course. The 5-year study, running from June 2025 to April 2030, will leverage the MetaAIR2 cohort of 400 young adults to examine how these exposures, both independently and jointly,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $3,140,397, provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health CFDA program, supports research to investigate adverse health outcomes from extreme heat, air pollution, and medications in low-income pregnant women and their offspring. The project, led by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, aims to improve understanding of how climate change, environmental exposures, and medication use impact...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $777,041 Project Grant to the University of Miami to investigate the impact of urban heat island exposure on Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) outcomes among older adults in South Florida. The 5-year study aims to: (1) examine the association between recent urban heat island exposure and cognitive function, (2) determine if cumulative...
- This $275,765 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program aims to develop and test prototypes of personal active cooling garments to protect at-risk patients from extreme heat waves. The grant is awarded to General Engineering & Research, L.L.C., a for-profit, economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business located in San Diego, California. The project will leverage the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund a study on the cumulative demographic and health effects of climate exposures across the life course in Indonesia and Mexico. The $171,498 award, effective September 20, 2024 through August 31, 2026, will enable researchers at the Pennsylvania State University to analyze how temperature and precipitation anomalies during critical life stages (early childhood, adolescence, early adulthood)...
- This $793,443 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) aims to characterize the immediate and cumulative health impacts of extreme weather events in communities within the Gulf and Southeastern Atlantic U.S. coastal regions. The study, conducted by Trustees of Tufts College, will (1) assess community vulnerability to these events based on infrastructure, environmental, and socioeconomic factors, (2) evaluate the...
- This $595,043 Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant titled "PURE-CLIMATE: IDENTIFYING AND ADAPTING TO CLIMATE CHANGE AS A MODIFIABLE RISK FACTOR FOR HUMAN HEALTH" will leverage the existing infrastructure and data of the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study to establish a global study on the impacts of climate change on human...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $7,698,402 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to Brown University to establish the "Climate, Health, and Aging Innovation and Research Solutions for Communities (CHAIRS-C)" center. The center aims to advance science on the adverse health impacts of climate change, particularly for aging populations, and develop solutions to promote healthy aging. Key objectives...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) supports research to assess the mid-to-long term health and work disability consequences of exposure to heat-sensitive jobs among older workers. The $441,027 award, spanning September 2025 to August 2027, will leverage longitudinal Health and Retirement Study data linked with extreme heat and occupational data to investigate how heat-sensitive work modifies the link between extreme heat and health/work disability outcomes. The project aims to enhance understanding of the role of occupational heat exposure in disability for older adults, providing critical insights to inform policies and interventions addressing environmental health risks. The award was granted to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), which frequently partners with other academic institutions on federally-funded research initiatives.
