Key deliverables include: 1) Developing a consumable electronics fabrication process to meet design criteria for high-throughput EMEHT studies, and 2)...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), provides $155,000.00 to support Michael Sauria, PhD, as a Research Software Engineer in the Andersen Lab at Johns Hopkins University. The primary goals are to improve the underlying infrastructure and user experience of the Caenorhabditis Natural Diversity Resource (CaenDR), which leverages natural genetic variation across nematode...
- 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 $5,453,538 Project Grant was awarded on September 15, 2025 by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), which administers the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The grant was awarded to New York University School of Medicine to investigate the accumulation of micro- and nanoplastic particles in mammalian tissues, including human exposure pathways, tissue deposition, and potential health impacts. Key objectives include quantifying MNP...
- This $306,872 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) supports Bioprinting Laboratories Inc. in Dallas, TX to develop a high-throughput developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) testing platform using engineered brain organoids. The key products and services to be delivered include: Establishing genetically engineered, induced pluripotent stem cells with a promoter-reporter assay system on a high-throughput, pillar/perfusion...
- This $440,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research at Northwestern University to create an unbiased and global map of the cellular response to environmental proteotoxic stress. The project will integrate cutting-edge chemical-genetic screening with computational analysis to identify critical components, functions, and regulatory nodes in the proteostasis network that cells...
- 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), provides $303,165 to Amelia Technologies LLC, a woman-owned small business, to develop the SphereDNA platform. SphereDNA is a novel high-throughput screening approach that leverages microfluidic impedance cytometry to measure DNA damage, addressing the need for scalable and precise toxicity evaluation methods to assess the combinational effects of engineered nanomaterials, UV radiation, and chemical agents. The award period runs from August 2025 to July 2026. This innovative platform aims to enhance research capabilities in environmental health by providing a cost-effective solution for evaluating complex exposures under realistic conditions, supporting the NIEHS Nano Environmental Health and Safety Program's goals.
