National Institutes of Health: Exploring Environmental Impacts on Stem Cells in Development, Health, and Disease Grant (R21)

The National Institutes of Health is offering a grant for research focusing on the impact of environmental factors on the behavior of various types of stem cells. This grant aims to explore how environmental exposures can affect the function, growth, longevity, and specialization of stem cells, with a particular focus on embryonic and adult pluripotent and multipotent cells. Researchers are encouraged to propose innovative research directions that contribute to a better understanding of the interaction between environmental influences and stem cell biology. Closing date for applications is November 28, 2011.
