The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering this grant through its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, seeking applications for Early Career Awards. This grant is for integrated, transdisciplinary research focused on advancing scientific understanding of potential impacts of manufactured chemicals on ecosystem wellbeing. Proposals should emphasize systems-based research, developing innovative metrics and modeling approaches to improve evaluations of ecological resilience and impact analyses, ultimately supporting environmental sustainability. Successful projects will translate emerging methods, data, and computational tools to address complex systems, distilling drivers of adverse outcomes to ecological organisms and populations. The initiative aims to enhance the scientific basis for assessing and mitigating environmental risks associated with chemical use.

Description: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications focusing on integrated, transdisciplinary research that would advance scientific understanding of potential for impacts to ecosystem wellbeing associated with the use of manufactured chemicals. Specifically, the RFA would solicit proposals for systems-based research to develop and apply innovative metrics and modeling approaches to improve evaluation of ecological resilience and impact analyses, and to support environmental sustainability. Successful proposals will translate emerging and advanced methods, data, and computational tools to address complexity of these systems and distill drivers of adverse outcomes to ecological organisms and populations. |
