The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded University of California, Los Angeles a $465,667 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028, to investigate the impact of urban wildfire exposure on maternal and infant health outcomes. The research leverages electronic health record (EHR) data from Kaiser Permanente Southern California to identify and track a cohort of 493 pregnant and peri-conceptual women residing in evacuation zones of the January 2025 Los Angeles County fires in Pacific Palisades and Altadena. The project delivers epidemiological analysis examining behavioral adoption and effectiveness of individual risk mitigation strategies—including evacuation compliance, use of N95 masks, indoor air filtration, and window sealing—recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Environmental Protection Agency. The primary deliverables include longitudinal survey data collection across three critical exposure periods: active fire phase, immediate aftermath through May 30, 2026, and ongoing remediation efforts. The research augments EHR data with time-sensitive behavioral surveys assessing evacuation history, adherence to mitigation strategies, and exposure levels during post-fire activities such as ash cleanup and rebuilding. Through this integrated approach, the award produces evidence-based insights into how pregnant women engage with protective interventions during wildfire events and the effectiveness of these behaviors in reducing reproductive and developmental health risks from hazardous exposures including lead, asbestos, lithium, and dioxins.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
