National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences & National Science Foundation Grants for Oceans, Great Lakes and Human Health Research (OGLHH)

This funding opportunity from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) aims to support interdisciplinary research on the impact of oceans and Great Lakes on human health. The grants focus on addressing marine or Great Lakes harmful algal bloom research, pollution assessment, climate change effects, and developing tools to link oceanographic models with human health models. The goal is to foster collaborations between biomedical scientists and ocean experts to enhance understanding of how marine processes affect public health outcomes. Applicants are encouraged to propose research projects that advance knowledge and mitigate health risks associated with ocean and Great Lakes environments.

Description::	This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), and the National Science Foundation (NSF) solicits grant applications that address research approaches to problems that are relevant to oceans and human health. The purpose of Oceans, Great Lakes and Human Health (OGLHH) is to provide linkages between members of the ocean sciences and biomedical communities in order to support interdisciplinary research in areas where improved understanding of marine processes and systems has potential to reduce public health risks. This FOA will solicit grant applications that address marine or Great Lakes harmful algal bloom (HAB) research, marine or Great Lakes pollution, (e.g., chemical toxicants assessment of long-term chronic exposures versus acute exposures; aspects of global climate change that influence ocean or Great Lakes related human health outcomes; and development of statistical and bioinformatic tools to link developed oceanographic or Great Lakes models with less well developed human health exposure and disease models.) OHH awards are expected to create an environment conducive to interdisciplinary and reciprocally beneficial collaborations among biomedical scientists (e.g., epidemiologists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, microbiologists, cell and molecular biologists) and ocean scientists (e.g., biological and physical oceanographers, geochemists, and ecologists) with the common goal of improving our knowledge of the impacts of the ocean and Great Lakes on human health.
