This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research to define the neurotoxic and neurodevelopmental health risks of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The $546,350 award, effective January 13, 2025 through October 31, 2029, aims to characterize the mechanisms by which PFAS affect brain development and function. Key objectives include defining PFAS uptake...
This Project Grant award of $400,847.00 was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The award aims to investigate the role of noradrenergic signaling and its regulation by the locus coeruleus neurons in mediating the impact of developmental lead exposure on stress responses and associated behavioral disorders like anxiety and depression. The project, conducted by Louisiana State University,...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $292,368 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The grant, effective September 1, 2024 through March 31, 2026, will support research to "disentangle the drivers and dangers of toxic cyanobacteria biosynthetic heterogeneity in cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs)." The goal is to identify the effects of...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $441,529 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) on November 15, 2024. The grant supports research to elucidate the role of epitranscriptomic mechanisms, specifically N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification, in regulating astrocyte activation and neuroimmune dysfunction induced by chronic exposure...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, provides $159,200.00 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on the role of oxidation-reduction (redox) signaling in normal neurodevelopment and the sensitivity of developing neurons to environmental exposures that can induce oxidative stress. The research aims to characterize redox signaling during...
This $776,150.33 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research to examine the relationships between exposure to the antimicrobial and endocrine disrupting compound triclosan, pubertal hormones, the adolescent gut microbiome, and neurobehavior. The primary awardee, the University of Massachusetts, will leverage a longitudinal birth cohort study to profile the adolescent gut...
This $688,904 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program supports research to investigate the mechanisms linking developmental manganese (Mn) exposure, dopamine dysregulation, and the increased frequency of ADHD diagnoses. The research, conducted by Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) and sub-awardees Purdue University and Vanderbilt University, aims to deepen the understanding of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $5,700,915 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop a new class of anti-caries therapy. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing fluoride efflux inhibitors that potentiate the antimicrobial effects of fluoride and inhibit the growth of oral pathogens like Streptococcus mutans and...
The University of California, Davis has been awarded a $423,657 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) to study the impact of neonatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The research aims to determine if neonatal PFOA exposure leads to long-term deficits in the microbiota-gut-brain axis, including impacts on gut physiology and behavior, as well as whether...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports the South African Manganese Environmental Neurotoxic Effects Research (SMELTER) study. The $585,531 award, with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029, aims to examine the neurological health effects associated with manganese exposure in a cohort of over 800 South African residents. The study involves...
