About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health Fogarty International Center is forecasting support for Hubs of Interdisciplinary Research and Training in Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth), a grant program funding robust international research collaborations addressing environmental and occupational health science with no stated application due date in this forecast notice.
Eligible applicants include public and private higher education institutions and 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits. No cost share or matching requirement is stated.
GEOHealth awards will catalyze collaborative environmental and occupational health research and complementary research training that leverages the unique scientific contexts of low- and middle-income countries or augments existing U.S. research resources. Awards must include collaboration between U.S. and LMIC scientists; closely aligned components for research and research training; address environmental and chemical exposures, including possible interacting exposures and contextual factors; address impacts of these exposures on health status or disease areas; and inform detection, prevention, and intervention approaches. The environmental and occupational health focus must have potential benefit to LMIC health priorities and to U.S. population health needs and must be relevant to the mission of at least one participating NIH Institute, Center, or Office. Applications should include activities facilitating widespread sharing of data, methods, and resources to accelerate research and provide opportunities for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career investigators to participate in interdisciplinary environmental and occupational health research.
Awards are made under CFDA 93.989, International Research and Research Training, which has distributed more than $1.94 billion across 2,363 awards since 1993. Scientific merit, technical adequacy of experimental design, investigator competency, facility adequacy, budget necessity, and relevance to program objectives are evaluation criteria. Applications undergo initial review for scientific and technical merit by a Center for Scientific Review review group, followed by review by the Fogarty International Center Advisory Board, with funding decisions made by FIC program officers and executive leadership.
Forecast synopsis
Robust international research collaborations are critical for advancing the environmental and occupational health science that informs the health, safety, and well-being of Americans. Environmental health problems cross national boundaries and research in international settings benefits all people who suffer from the same or related environmental health problems. The Fogarty International Center (FIC) intends to continue support of environmental and occupational health research and research training through the Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth) program. GEOHealth awards will catalyze and strengthen collaborative environmental and occupational health research and complementary research training that leverages the unique scientific contexts of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) or that augments existing U.S. research resources. GEOHealth awards will 1) include collaboration between U.S. and LMIC scientists, 2) include closely aligned components for research and research training, 3) address environmental and chemical exposures, including possible interacting exposures and contextual factors, 4) address the impacts of these environmental and occupational exposures on health status or disease areas, and 5) inform detection, prevention and intervention approaches. The environmental and occupational health focus of each program must have potential benefit to LMIC health priorities as well as to the health needs of U.S. populations and must be relevant to the mission of at least one of the participating NIH Institutes, Centers, or Offices. Applications are expected to include activities that facilitate the widespread sharing of data, methods, and resources to accelerate research and to provide opportunities for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career investigators to participate in interdisciplinary environmental and occupational health research. Ultimately, GEOHealth projects are expected to advance research on the prevention and control of diseases and disabilities related to environmental and occupational exposures, strengthen international collaborative research that drives scientific advancement, and to inform evidence-based prevention and intervention approaches to protect health and strengthen resilience in the U.S. and globally.
