The Environmental Health Sciences Department is offering this grant to support novel environmental health research that capitalizes on time-sensitive opportunities. This includes studies where unpredictable events like natural or human-made disasters, emerging public health threats, or policy changes provide a limited window for collecting human biological samples or environmental exposure data. This grant is for the purpose of understanding the environmental and health consequences of such rapid-onset phenomena. A distinguishing feature is its expedited review and funding cycle, significantly shorter than typical NIH processes, allowing projects to be swiftly implemented. The entire cycle, from application submission to award issuance, is anticipated within 4-6 months, enabling timely investigation of critical environmental health issues.

| Description: | This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is intended to support novel environmental health research in which an unpredictable event or policy change provides a limited window of opportunity to collect human biological samples or environmental exposure data. The primary motivation of the NOFO is to understand the consequences of natural and human-made disasters, emerging environmental public health threats, and policy changes in the U.S. and abroad. A distinguishing feature of an appropriate study is the need for rapid review and funding, substantially shorter than the typical NIH grant review/award cycle, for the research question to be addressed and swiftly implemented. The shortened timeframe will be achieved by more frequent application due dates and expediting peer review, council concurrence and award issuance. The entire cycle, from submission to award, is expected to be within 4-6 months. |
