Grant Description

Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by NIEHS and EPA solicits P20 planning grant applications for Childrens Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research Centers: Formative Centers (CEHC Formative Centers). This program will support the development of an integrative research environment to sustain a multidisciplinary program of basic and applied research which examines the effects of environmental threats to childrens health and well-being. Research conducted as part of the CEHC Formative Centers should include new and emerging areas of science in childrens health while incorporating innovative technologies and approaches in the pursuit of developing a strong base of science. This opportunity will allow development of new research teams, connections with communities and other stakeholders, and will obtain preliminary data on childhood diseases and disorders where the evidence of an environmental contribution has yet to be fully established or appreciated.This new program will develop strong links between disciplines in the basic, applied, clinical and public health sciences where collaborations are currently in the formative stages to prevent disease and promote health in all children. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the P20 grant mechanism and the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPAs) Office ofResearch and Development, National Center for Environmental Research (NCER) STAR (Science to Achieve Results) program administered in accordance with 40 CFR Part 30 and 40.Responsibility for the planning, direction, and execution of the proposed project will be solely that of the applicant.Policies that govern grant award programs of each agency will prevail for respective sources of support. This FOA runs in parallel with RFA-ES-08-002 that solicits applications under the P01 mechanism.
