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...
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...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $558,380 to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to develop an integrated biomedical knowledgebase and geospatial data science ecosystem called GEOSPACE. The key products to be delivered include: A geospatial database of curated exposure datasets (GSEDB) that will index multiple data streams on high priority environmental...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $431,750 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program to the University of California, Irvine (UCI). The 2-year grant, awarded on January 9, 2025, will support research to investigate a new signaling mechanism that triggers an innate immune response specifically after DNA damage blocks transcription. The study aims to determine how environmental agents that suppress transcription through...
This Project Grant award of $749,901, funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, aims to elucidate the origins of the mutational landscape in cancer. The research project will integrate cellular DNA adductomics, nanopore sequencing, and single-molecule duplex sequencing to investigate how exposure to environmental mutagens, such as 1,2,3-trichloropropane, bromochloroacetic acid, and furan, contributes to the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research investigating the joint effects of early life lead exposure and psychosocial co-exposures on physiological stress and cardiometabolic health across the life course. The $107,493 award, effective March 20, 2025 through February 28, 2027, will enable the Regents of the University of Michigan to: 1) characterize the risk and...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $306,872 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) to Pico Portal, Inc. to develop and evaluate advanced AI-driven tools to automate, increase efficiency, and reduce the costs of conducting risk-of-bias (ROB) assessments in environmental health systematic reviews. Specifically, the project aims to utilize large language models to accurately identify and extract critical text passages related to per- and...
This Project Grant award, valued at $1,432,351.00 and awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, supports research to investigate the relationship between exposure to metal mixtures and the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) across diverse populations. The key objectives of the research are to: 1) evaluate the roles of metals and metal mixtures in CHD risk; 2) assess genetic susceptibility to the effects of...
