The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking applications for its Superfund Hazardous Substance Research and Training Program.
Scopes
- Advanced techniques for the detection, assessment, and evaluation of the effect of hazardous substances on human health: SRP seeks to support mechanistic and/or mode of action research that includes laboratory- and population-based studies for unraveling critical biological pathways that contribute to disease when perturbed by environmental contaminants.
- Methods to assess the risks to human health presented by hazardous substances: Within the interdisciplinary framework of its mandates, the SRP focuses on developing integrated human and ecologic risk models to assist in making cost-effective and protective decisions.
- Methods and technologies to detect hazardous substances in the environment: The SRP seeks to support the development and application of new and advanced technologies for detection and monitoring of hazardous substances.
- Basic biological, chemical, and physical methods to reduce the amount and toxicity of hazardous substances: The SRP supports the application of biomedical and environmental science and engineering research in the development of prevention and intervention strategies to improve human health by mitigating exposure and reducing toxicity of environmental contaminants.
Funding Information
Applications may request a budget for direct costs of up to $1.75 million dollars for each year.
