The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) STAR program offers this grant for developing high-throughput assays. This grant is for researchers to analyze chemicals and mixtures, explaining how exposure relates to adverse reproductive and developmental outcomes. Projects should investigate toxicity via the endocrine system or other pathways. Assays must be relevant to humans and species crucial for human health or ecological risk assessment. This solicitation includes specific opportunities for early career projects, alongside regular awards, to advance predictive modeling in this vital scientific field.

Description: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications for research in development of high-throughput assays for use in analyzing chemicals or mixtures of chemicals to explain how exposure can be causally related to adverse, apical outcomes related to development and reproduction. These applications can address toxicity modulated by chemical effects on the endocrine system or via a variety of other pathways. Assay systems of interest are those relevant to humans and other species relevant to human health and/or ecological risk assessment.
In addition to regular awards, this solicitation includes the opportunity for early career projects. Please see Section III of this Request for Applications (RFA) for details on the early career eligibility criteria. |
