- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded AI Solutions 87 LLC $259,415 on July 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to develop a comprehensive radon intelligence platform integrating real-time IoT sensor data, geological and meteorological information, and AI models into an interactive, high-resolution map for radon risk prediction and mitigation. The platform addresses the public health burden of radon-induced lung cancer, estimated at 21,000...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the Trustees of Boston University $245,250 on August 13, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to develop and pilot an integrated air pollution exposure assessment framework for reproductive health research. The project combines real-time residential indoor monitoring with residence-level outdoor pollution models and weekly time-activity data collected across preconception and gestational periods. Aim 1...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded The Washington University $427,625 on June 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate how reactive indoor air pollutants chemically alter house dust mite allergens and enhance their capacity to trigger allergic airway inflammation. The award funds a two-aim research project examining the transformation of Der P 1 (the major house dust mite allergen), house dust mites themselves, and genuine house...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $354,375 on April 3, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to assess indoor and outdoor exposure to fine and ultrafine particles and volatile organic compounds in Los Angeles-area homes affected by the January 2025 Palisades and Eaton wildfires. The recipient is monitoring air quality across 50 households (25 near each fire) to characterize post-fire exposure pathways,...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Biota Inc. $306,585 under the Environmental Health grant program (CFDA 93.113) on July 1, 2026, to develop an automated nanoparticle-based sample preparation platform for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) analysis. The Phase I project establishes feasibility of a fully automated workflow that replaces labor-intensive solid-phase extraction methods in PFAS monitoring. The platform integrates advanced nanoparticle chemistry...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $465,667 to the University of California, Los Angeles on July 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health grant program (CFDA 93.113). The award funds epidemiological research examining how pregnant women and those at conception exposed to the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires (Pacific Palisades and Altadena fires) adopted and responded to risk mitigation strategies. The research...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, a component of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded the University of Texas at Austin $415,906 on June 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to investigate how air pollution induces shifts in the RNA modification landscape and how pseudouridine-incorporating enzymes relocalize in response to airborne toxins. The research examines whether exposure to ambient air pollution...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded Uv01 Technologies, Inc. $306,548 under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) on August 1, 2026, to develop CLYR-VUE, an artificial intelligence and machine learning-powered just-in-time adaptive intervention that addresses indoor air pollution exposure in residential homes. The recipient will develop hardware and software infrastructure incorporating industry-standard environmental sensors to detect particle counts by size, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, temperature, humidity, light, and noise. The system will integrate voice and cloud platforms to deliver context-aware, real-time guidance to residents at the moment hazards occur, with adaptive refinements based on user feedback to verify and maximize intervention effectiveness. Uv01 Technologies will engineer and build 25 units, add voice interface capability, and conduct laboratory evaluation and performance testing. The work includes an intensive field pilot test in four real homes with adults and children to assess usability, acceptability, technical performance, and potential health impact. The intervention targets populations susceptible to respiratory health conditions including asthma, COPD, and allergies, addressing pollution sources such as smoking, fires, cooking, cleaning, dust, household products, and ambient pollution to reduce both acute exposures and long-term health risks including cancer and cardiovascular disease. Performance occurs in San Diego, California. The period of performance runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027. This is a Phase I SBIR award.
