This grant, offered by the Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth) initiative, supports paired consortium exploratory awards between Low and Middle Income Country (LMIC) and U.S. institutions. Its purpose is to plan crucial research, training, and curriculum development activities addressing national and regional environmental and occupational health policy issues. The ultimate goal is to foster the establishment of multidisciplinary GEOHealth Hubs, based in LMICs, which will lead collaborative research and training. These hubs will focus on specific environmental and occupational health challenges, incorporating diverse scientific fields such as epidemiology, toxicology, and implementation science. Applicants will select focal areas based on existing strengths and priority 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. |
