The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is offering this grant to fund research on quantifying the improvements in climate, ambient, and indoor air quality resulting from interventions in cooking, heating, or lighting practices. This grant is for the purpose of assessing the subsequent impacts on health and welfare in communities in the developing world and among Indian tribes and Alaska Native groups. The research should utilize field measurements and modeling to achieve these quantifications. This solicitation also provides opportunities for projects involving human subjects research, requiring a Human Subjects Research Statement. Additionally, early career projects are encouraged, offering a smaller scope and budget for eligible principal investigators.

| Description: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing research on quantifying, via field measurements and modeling, the improvements in climate and ambient and indoor air quality, and the subsequent impacts on health and welfare, resulting from ongoing, planned, or potential interventions in cooking, heating, or lighting practices. This research should focus on communities in the developing world and on Indian tribes and Alaska Native groups.
This solicitation provides the opportunity for the submission of applications for projects that involve human subjects research. All applications must include a Human Subjects Research Statement (HSRS, as described in Section IV.B.5.c), and if the project involves human subjects research, it will be subject to an additional level of review prior to funding decisions being made as described in Sections V.C and V.D of this solicitation. In addition to regular awards, this solicitation includes the opportunity for early career projects. The purpose of the early career award is to fund research projects smaller in scope and budget by early career PIs. Please see Section III of this Request for Applications (RFA) for details on the early career eligibility criteria. |
