- 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 $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...
- 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 into how exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and high-fat diets impact the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The $3,051,769 award to the University of Louisville aims to determine how environmental exposures and diet modify RNA modifications, specifically...
- 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 of $249,000, awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), aims to develop and apply novel computational methods to predict the molecular targets and target tissues of environmental chemical exposures on a large scale. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Application and optimization of a novel Coupled Matrix/Tensor-Matrix Completion (CM/TMC)...
- This $3,820,922 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program will establish a Climate Change and Health Center focused on a "community-driven, health-first approach to climate action and the energy transition." The center's key innovations include developing a scenario health risk model for energy policy decision-making, conducting a pilot study on the impacts of climate change...
- 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, will support research on the impact of early-life exposure to metal mixtures from ferroalloy industrial emissions on adolescent cognition. The $147,486 award to the Trustees of Boston University Medical Campus will leverage rich exposure data and advanced statistical techniques to examine the effects of metal mixture exposure during...
This $431,750.00 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) supports a two-year study at the University of Louisville to assess the environmental and health impacts of an industrial accident in Calvert City, Kentucky. The study aims to establish air quality monitoring sites, conduct wastewater surveillance, and perform quarterly biological sampling to comprehensively evaluate exposure pathways and health risks, particularly related to hemangiosarcoma, a rare cancer linked to the released chemicals. Advanced metabolomics analysis will be used to measure relevant biomarkers. The project will also develop a rapid-response framework for timely data collection in future incidents. Community engagement is a central focus, with residents actively involved in data collection and dissemination. The study seeks to inform community advocacy, public health interventions, and policy recommendations to reduce cancer and cardiometabolic disease risks in the affected area.
