The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is offering this grant to fund research focused on identifying and enhancing the understanding of adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) that contribute to developmental neurotoxicity (DNT). This grant is for advancing the state of knowledge by establishing clear links between key biological events from chemical exposure to adverse outcomes, including critical windows of susceptibility. The ultimate goal is to develop AOP-based data and predictive models for chemical testing, enabling more accurate DNT risk assessment. EPA is particularly interested in proposals addressing endocrine signaling pathways affecting neurodevelopment, though other relevant AOPs will also be considered.

| Description: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing research that will identify and/or provide a better understanding of adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) that lead to developmental neurotoxicity (DNT). Such research should advance the state of knowledge by linking key events along the continuum from exposure to adverse outcomes, including windows of susceptibility, and ultimately resulting in AOP-based data and models for chemical testing that will allow risk assessors to predict DNT. EPA is particularly interested in funding research projects that focus on endocrine signaling pathways that alter neurodevelopment, but will accept research proposals that address other AOPs. |
