This National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant is for facilitating the translation of prototype devices designed for personal environmental exposure assessment into practical field use. It supports a phased validation effort, fostering collaboration between tool developers and environmental epidemiologists. The initial R21 phase focuses on iteratively refining the prototype through pilot studies. This stage aims to demonstrate the device’s data quality, reliability, and usability within real-world environments. Subsequently, the R33 phase involves larger-scale application within extensive epidemiological studies. The goal here is to clearly demonstrate the tool’s added scientific value by enhancing exposure assessment and improving the estimation of complex exposure-health outcome relationships. This initiative seeks to bridge the gap between innovative device development and widespread application in environmental health research.

| Description: | This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is intended to facilitate the translation of prototype devices for characterization of personal exposures into field use by supporting a phased validation effort involving a partnership between tool developers and environmental epidemiologists. In the initial (R21) phase, the focus is on iterative refinement of the prototype based on evaluation in a pilot scale study. The goal of this phase is to demonstrate data quality, tool reliability, and usability in a real world and relevant setting. The second (R33) phase will involve larger scale application in a larger epidemiological study to demonstrate the added scientific value of the tool in terms of both improved exposure assessment and estimation of exposure-health outcome relationships. |
