The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is offering this grant to fund research focused on sustainable solutions for environmental problems impacting tribal communities. This grant is for the purpose of enhancing the understanding of two critical areas: the health consequences of climate change on tribal populations, and the health impacts stemming from indoor air pollution exposures tied to traditional tribal life-ways and cultural practices. Projects must specifically target vulnerable sub-populations within these communities. Furthermore, proposals should integrate sustainable, culturally appropriate, and acceptable strategies for pollution prevention, adaptation, and mitigation. This initiative seeks to improve tribal health and well-being.

| Description: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing research on science for sustainable and healthy tribes. This solicitation is focused on research to develop sustainable solutions to environmental problems that affect tribes. The objectives of the awards to be made under this solicitation are to improve understanding of: 1) the health impacts of climate change on tribal populations; and 2) the health impacts of indoor air pollution exposures that derive from or are directly affecting traditional tribal life-ways and cultural practices. In both cases, projects should focus on impacts to vulnerable sub-populations of the Tribal communities. Proposals should also consider sustainable, culturally appropriate and acceptable pollution prevention, and adaptation/mitigation strategies. |
