The 2-year study, commencing on August 12, 2025 and concluding on July 31, 2027, will utilize big data methods and a multi-level repeated cross-sectional design to examine the effects of extreme...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), through its Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), has awarded a $227,286 Project Grant to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health to support the research software engineering career of Michelle Audirac. The grant, awarded from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, will enable Audirac to advance her work in developing open science tools and data science capabilities to accelerate environmental health research...
- This $456,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS, CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) will support the "Project Firestorm" study to assess the respiratory and mental health impacts of the January 2025 Los Angeles wildland-urban interface fires. The University of Southern California (USC) will leverage an existing cohort of over 9,000 participants to rapidly study the acute and long-term health effects of exposure to wildfire smoke...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), provides $3,082,011 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to conduct research aimed at identifying gene-environment interactions with exposure to the air pollutant ozone that contribute to respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD. The project will utilize genetically diverse mouse populations as a discovery...
- This $5,453,538 Project Grant was awarded on September 15, 2025 by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), which administers the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The grant was awarded to New York University School of Medicine to investigate the accumulation of micro- and nanoplastic particles in mammalian tissues, including human exposure pathways, tissue deposition, and potential health impacts. Key objectives include quantifying MNP...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $413,295 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) on August 20, 2025 for the "First Responder Safety and Well-Being Amid the Hurricane Helene Response" project. This project under NIEHS' Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program aims to better identify the range of environmental hazards encountered by first responders during disaster response and recovery operations, assess their impact on perception of risk and psychosocial health, and inform training to improve first responder preparedness. The project will leverage the unique circumstances of the Hurricane Helene disaster response in western North Carolina to study first responders and develop strategies to mitigate safety, health, and psychosocial risks they face during complex disaster events. The project is expected to be completed by August 19, 2027.
