The proposed technology aims to integrate...
- 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, is providing $305,260 to Access Sensor Technologies LLC to commercialize the AIRPEN - a wearable device for rapidly characterizing exposures to particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during disaster events. The key products and services to be delivered include: Collaborating with disaster response researchers...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $306,789, was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The grant aims to develop an at-home lateral flow assay (LFA) system for rapid, low-cost detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water samples. The innovative approach integrates a magnetic nanoparticle pre-concentration method to achieve the sensitivity required by EPA standards, down...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), will support Framergy, Inc., in collaboration with Texas A&M University, to develop a simple and low-cost method for detecting a broad range of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that can be used as an at-home test kit. The $260,993 award, granted on June 1, 2025, will fund research to leverage novel metal-organic framework...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), awarded a $313,372 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to ITA International LLC. The award, granted on June 3, 2025, supports the development of new methodologies for quantifying airborne ultrafine particulates (UFPs), microplastics (MNPs), and engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in production environments. This research aims to address gaps...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $999,999 Project Grant under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) to Attagene Inc. for the development of a "Two-Tier Effect-Based Water Bioactivity Surveillance System" called WASANET. The project aims to build infrastructure for rapid, cost-effective water safety screening (Tier I) using Attagene's proprietary Factorial platform to quantitatively measure multiple transcription factor...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $314,745 Project Grant under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) to Materials Nova LLC, a SBA-certified women-owned small business, to develop a portable, high-speed mercury sensor for detecting toxic metal contaminants in water. The sensor will leverage the principal investigator's patented techniques to overcome limitations in nanosensing technology and provide individuals and households the capability to rapidly assess water safety, especially during natural disasters that compromise municipal water supplies. The project aims to deliver a user-friendly device integrated with water sampling and a mobile app interface to bolster societal resilience against environmental health threats. The award has a project period from September 2025 to August 2026.
