- 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), under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $305,754 Project Grant to Innovaprep LLC, a for-profit company based in Drexel, Missouri. The grant, running from September 2025 to August 2026, aims to develop an innovative and cost-effective per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) sample preparation system that can significantly lower method detection limits and enhance high-throughput capabilities....
- This $188,466 federal Project Grant was awarded on July 18, 2025 by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the NIEHS Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Education program (CFDA 93.143). The grant supports the development of a product formulation that optimizes the viability of two soil microbes identified by the awardee, Bluumbio Inc., which are capable of rapidly degrading diverse per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in soil environments....
- 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 $546,350 to fund a study to "Define the Neurotoxic and Neurodevelopmental Health Risks of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)". The key objectives of this 4.5-year research project are to: 1) Characterize the mechanisms by which PFAS facilitate neuronal uptake and accumulation; 2) Elucidate the...
- This $298,143 National Science Foundation project grant will support the development of a portable instrument for measuring poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by the University of Texas at Arlington from September 2022 through August 2025. PFAS are man-made chemicals used in firefighting foams and cleaning products that accumulate in the environment and pose health risks. Typically analyzed using expensive laboratory equipment, this new portable instrument aims to reliably measure...
- 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 research at Brown University to investigate the impact of prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on adult cardiometabolic disease. The $656,250 award, with a performance period from August 6, 2025 to May 31, 2029, will enable researchers to conduct an unprecedented assessment of 44 individual PFAS,...
- The University of Massachusetts Lowell received a $157,437 Project Grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), to study the urinary, biliary, and fecal excretion of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and the impact of dietary fiber. The project aims to investigate the extent of enterohepatic recirculation of PFAS, which contributes to their long half-lives and increased risk of adverse...
- 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 SBIR Phase I project, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, is developing a portable contaminant field screening device for the rapid measurement of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The $305,000 award, granted on May 15, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2026, aims to address the urgent need for affordable, real-time detection of PFAS in environmental, industrial, and...
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 to the parts-per-trillion level. The project has three key objectives: 1) develop and optimize an LFA utilizing thyroxine (T4) and transthyretin (TTR) protein to quantify PFAS concentrations based on thyroid hormone disruption, 2) create functionalized silica nanoparticles capable of 1000-fold PFAS concentration, and 3) refine a nanoparticle elution buffer compatible with the TTR-T4 assay. The combined nanoparticle pre-concentration and LFA system will be validated using spiked water samples. The award was made to Biota Inc. (UEI: MAPWDAVC9JL7) located in Boulder, CO, with a project period from August 1, 2025 to January 31, 2026.
