The University of South Carolina received a $378,140 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) to investigate the impact of extreme weather events on child health and development in the United States. 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 weather phenomena such as heat, drought, flooding, and storms on children's physical health, mental health, and developmental outcomes over the past two decades. The research aims to inform weather and public health policies by improving the understanding of how these environmental factors may exacerbate health disparities and negatively affect child well-being.
