This grant, offered by a Health Sciences Department, focuses on encouraging research into how environmental exposures impact the microbiome’s composition and function. It invites proposals using wild-type or humanized gnotobiotic models or existing human cohorts to investigate short-term and long-term effects of environmental chemicals. A key interest lies in early life exposures, as these occur during initial microbiota colonization and can permanently affect its potential. The grant aims to deepen understanding of these critical environmental-microbiome interactions.

| Description: | This funding opportunity announcement is intended to encourage research aimed at investigating how environmental exposures impact the composition and/or function of the microbiome. Applicants may propose to use wild-type or humanized gnotobiotic model organisms or existing human cohorts to investigate how exposure to environmental chemicals affects the microbiome in both the short and the long term. Early life exposures are of particular interest, as these occur during the initial colonization of the microbiota and may permanently affect its potential. |
