About this opportunity
This federal grant opportunity, titled "Time-Sensitive Research Opportunities in Environmental Health Sciences (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)", is seeking proposals for novel environmental health research projects that can take advantage of a limited window of opportunity to collect human biological samples or environmental exposure data. The primary objective is to understand the consequences of natural and human-made disasters, emerging environmental public health threats, and policy changes in the U.S. and abroad. The Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the administering agency, and the opportunity is assigned to the Environmental Health and NIEHS Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Education grant programs. Applicants must focus their proposals on time-sensitive research questions that fall within the scope of these two programs. Applications are due by December 1, 2024.
The funding instrument is a grant, and eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations such as public or Indian housing authorities, universities, non-profits, small businesses, and tribal governments. Award values are not specified, but typical funding for the Environmental Health program ranges from $200,000 to $4 million per project, while the Superfund program has supported a broader range of project sizes up to $44 million. Research activities are expected to be conducted at the recipients' facilities throughout the United States.
Synopsis
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is intended to support novel environmental health research in which an unpredictable event or policy change provides a limited window of opportunity to collect human biological samples or environmental exposure data. The primary motivation of the FOA is to understand the consequences of natural and human-made disasters, emerging environmental public health threats, and policy changes in the U.S. and abroad. A distinguishing feature of an appropriate study is the need for rapid review and funding, substantially shorter than the typical NIH grant review/award cycle, for the research question to be addressed and swiftly implemented.
