The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) offers the Superfund Research Program (SRP) Centers grant to support problem-based, solution-oriented research. This grant is for Centers that will conduct integrated projects across biomedical and non-biomedical disciplines, alongside crucial administrative, community engagement, research translation, research support, and training functions. The program’s scope, derived from the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, focuses on four key areas: developing advanced techniques for detecting, assessing, and evaluating hazardous substance effects on human health; assessing human health risks; detecting environmental hazardous substances; and creating biological, chemical, and physical methods to reduce substance amount and toxicity. This initiative aims to address complex environmental health challenges posed by hazardous substances.

| Description: | The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is announcing the continuation of the Superfund Hazardous Substance Research and Training Program, referred to as Superfund Research Program (SRP) Centers. SRP Center grants will support problem-based, solution-oriented research Centers that consist of multiple, integrated projects representing both the biomedical and non-biomedical disciplines; as well as cores tasked with administrative, community engagement, research translation, research support, and training functions. The scope of the SRP Centers is taken directly from the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, and include: (1) advanced techniques for the detection, assessment, and evaluation of the effect on human health of hazardous substances; (2) methods to assess the risks to human health presented by hazardous substances; (3) methods and technologies to detect hazardous substances in the environment; and (4) basic biological, chemical, and physical methods to reduce the amount and toxicity of hazardous substances. |
