The Department of Global Health is offering planning grants for paired consortium awards to develop Global Environmental and Occupational Health Hubs in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) and the U.S. These grants aim to support research, training, and curriculum development activities addressing priority environmental and occupational health policy issues. The goal is to establish multidisciplinary GEOHealth Hubs to lead collaborative efforts in epidemiology, biostatistics, genetics, and other core science areas to tackle environmental and occupational health challenges. Applicants will select focal areas based on existing strengths within the consortium and regional public health needs.

| Description:: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to support paired consortium exploratory awards led by one Low and Middle Income Country (LMIC) institution and one U.S. institution to plan research, research training, and curriculum development activities that address and inform priority national and regional environmental and occupational health policy issues. The ultimate goal of the FOA is to foster the planning for multidisciplinary Global Environmental and Occupational Health Hubs (GEOHealth Hubs), based in LMICs, that will lead collaborative research and training for focal environmental and occupational health issues in several core science areas, including fields such as epidemiology, biostatistics, genetics, environmental science, industrial hygiene, systems science, toxicology, behavioral science, and implementation science. Focal environmental and occupational health areas, as well as core science areas, for each consortium will be selected by the applicants, building upon preexisting strengths within the proposed consortium and addressing priority public health needs in the region. |
