- 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...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $390,337 Project Grant under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to develop the PFAS Exposure Burden Calculator. This novel tool will enable cross-study harmonization, biomonitoring, and report-back for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure levels. The project, which runs from Jul 2025 to May 2030, will expand the existing PFAS exposure...
- This $756,318 federal Project Grant was awarded on June 3, 2025 by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), a division of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health). The grant supports research at Wayne State University to investigate how polyethoxylated surfactants, a class of emerging environmental contaminants, impact metabolic health and the development of obesity. The research will use zebrafish models to comprehensively assess the role...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $484,122 Project Grant to Black Hills State University (BHSU) on August 20, 2025. The grant supports research to elucidate the mechanisms of beta-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) neurotoxin-induced toxicity and to develop and test novel aptamer inhibitors of BMAA's activity in human cell lines. The research aims to provide mechanistic insights into the...
- 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...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), through its Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), has awarded a $227,286 Project Grant to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health to support the research software engineering career of Michelle Audirac. The grant, awarded from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, will enable Audirac to advance her work in developing open science tools and data science capabilities to accelerate environmental health research...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $306,842 project grant to Anchorchem LLC on Jul 19, 2025. The grant aims to address the global health threat posed by harmful algal blooms (HABs) and the associated risks from cyanopeptides, specifically anabaenopeptins (ABPs). The project seeks to create a stable supply chain of these compounds to enable critical biological studies needed to assess their health impacts and exposure pathways. Key objectives include identifying prevalence of ABPs in the environment, understanding their toxicological effects, and developing analytical methods and research-grade materials to support further research in this area. The grant will be active through Jun 30, 2026.
