- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Arizona State University $430,625 on May 15, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to conduct a multimethod study of micro- and nanoplastics in human brain tissue and their association with Alzheimer's disease and environmental disadvantage. The research quantifies micro- and nanoplastics in the olfactory bulb and middle temporal gyrus of 140 postmortem human brains (70 with Alzheimer's disease pathology, 70...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $647,273 Project Grant to Arizona State University under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will support research from 2021-2026 to develop coupled climate and human health models to build pathways for extreme heat resilience. Leveraging its expertise in climate modeling and epidemiology, ASU will integrate climate change projections with health vulnerability data to identify communities most at risk from rising temperatures. The...
- The Arizona State University will receive $2 million from the National Science Foundation under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop novel methods for assessing individual-level heat risk across diverse populations from 2022-2026. The university will merge an advanced mobile biometeorological station with a human-shaped thermal manikin to pioneer a field method measuring detailed human heat exposure. The manikin will measure heat load received by an average body and mimic...
- The National Institute on Drug Abuse awarded Arizona State University $684,625 on May 1, 2026, under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to investigate the association between environmental heat and drug overdose-related risks among persons who use drugs in Phoenix, Arizona. The research employs a mixed-methods approach integrating big data analytics of Arizona Medicaid and hospital discharge data on drug-related emergency department visits and death certificate data on...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill $207,384 on September 14, 2025, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to examine how gestational exposure to extreme heat and neighborhood heat vulnerability affect blood pressure trajectories during early childhood.
