This department is offering grants to establish Centers for Oceans and Human Health, fostering collaborations between ocean and biomedical communities. The grants aim to address issues such as harmful algal blooms, marine pollution, and climate change’s impact on human health. Researchers, including epidemiologists, toxicologists, oceanographers, and ecologists, are encouraged to apply to create a supportive interdisciplinary environment for advancing understanding of the ocean’s influence on public health. Applications for this grant opportunity must be submitted by November 22, 2011.

| Description:: | This funding opportunity announcment (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 Centers for Oceans and Human Health (COHH) 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 harmful algal bloom (HAB) research, marine pollution (e.g., chemical toxicants assessment of long-term chronic exposures versus acute exposures; aspects of global climate change that influence ocean related human health outcomes; and development of statistical and bioinformatic tools to link developed oceanographic models with less well developed human health exposure and disease models). COHH 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 on human health. |
