The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) STAR program is offering a grant for researching how pollution impacts human health within the total environment framework. Researchers are encouraged to develop innovative models to examine causal relationships between chemical pollutants and health effects considering interactions among built, natural, and social environments. Interdisciplinary proposals integrating various fields like social science, economics, biology, and more are recommended. Applications should address the complexity of the total environment research problem. Closing date: Mar 02, 2017.

| Description: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, seeks applications for research on how pollution affects human health in the context of the total environment – built, natural, and social environments interacting together with inherent characteristics and interactions. Proposed research should develop and test innovative models or impact assessment approaches to examine causal relationships of chemical pollutants and health effects with modifying interactions among the variables representing all of the major stressors and factors involved in a person’s life. Proposals that integrate a diverse field of disciplines (social science, economics, epidemiology, engineering, environmental science, biology, statistics, toxicology, chemistry, etc.) to address the complexity of the total environment research problem are highly recommended. |
