Happy Holidays!

 

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) have
released a new Request for Applications (RFA) to solicit applications
designed to collect information on community exposures to environmental
or occupational agents or exposure-related diseases and use this new
information to support environmental public health action.  

 

The RFA (RFA-ES-09-001) is now available online:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-ES-09-001.html.   

 

Details about the RFA

 

This RFA solicits research applications designed to bring together
community members and environmental and occupational health researchers
to investigate the potential health risks of environmental and
occupational exposures that are of concern to the community.  Research
will focus on environmental or occupational agents known or strongly
suspected to be a significant environmental public health issue by
community members but lacking basic information on exposure levels,
sources of exposure, or potential health effects.  An education,
outreach, prevention or intervention program(s) also must be developed
to translate and disseminate research findings to relevant audiences
(e.g., scientists, community members, healthcare professionals, and
policymakers) to inform them about the potential health burden(s)
associated with environmental or occupational agents in their community,
with the ultimate goal of supporting actions that will lead to the
prevention or reduction of harmful environmental/occupational exposures
and improve human health. Evaluation will be a central component of all
projects.

 

Applicants may request a project period of up to four years and a budget
for direct costs of up to $225,000 per year.

 

The NIEHS intends to commit $2 million in FY2009 to fund five to seven
new grants in response to this FOA. The NIOSH intends to commit $500,000
in FY2009 to fund one to two new grants in response to this FOA.

 

Applications are due April 1, 2009.  Prospective applicants are asked to
submit a letter of intent (LOI) due March 1, 2009.

Peer Review Date(s): June 2009

Council Review Date(s): August 2009

Earliest Anticipated Start Date(s): September 30, 2009
