The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers grants through the STAR program for research focusing on the total environment framework to evaluate lifelong health impacts of chemical exposures. This grant aims to support innovative research in developing models to analyze the relationships between chemical pollutants and health effects within the built, natural, and social environments. Projects integrating various disciplines are encouraged to address the complexity of this research problem. Applications promoting cross-disciplinary collaborations among social science, economics, epidemiology, engineering, and other fields are highly favored. Deadline for submissions is March 2, 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. |
