This research aims to address gaps...
- 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....
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) has awarded a $306,872 Project Grant under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113) to Pico Portal, Inc. to develop and evaluate advanced AI-driven tools that can automate and increase the efficiency of conducting Risk-of-Bias (ROB) assessments in environmental health systematic reviews. The project aims to utilize large language models (LLMs) such as LLAMA, GPT, and CLAUDE to accurately identify and extract...
This federal Project Grant award of $306,341 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), is supporting the development of a high-throughput, automated air sample analysis platform (ASAP) by Access Sensor Technologies LLC, a small business located in Fort Collins, Colorado. The ASAP system is designed to enable large-scale characterization of the "air exposome" by automating the analysis of hundreds of air pollution samples per day for total mass and multiple sub-constituents, including particle mass, black carbon, organic carbon, metals, and microplastics. This advanced platform will consist of a robotic arm, microbalance, optical transmissometer, and beta attenuation measurement subsystem, all housed in a climate-controlled enclosure. The goal is to provide a commercial solution that can significantly enhance the scale and efficiency of air pollution exposure research, supporting efforts to understand the environmental factors that impact human health.
