The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is offering this R21 grant opportunity to support novel research in environmental health. This grant is specifically designed for time-sensitive situations where unpredictable events or policy changes create a limited window to collect crucial human biological samples or environmental exposure data. The primary purpose is to enable rapid scientific inquiry into the consequences of natural and human-made disasters, emerging environmental public health threats, and significant policy shifts, both domestically and internationally. A distinguishing feature of this funding mechanism is its expedited review and award process, significantly faster than typical grant cycles, ensuring research can be swiftly implemented to capture fleeting opportunities and address urgent environmental health challenges.

| Description: |
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is intended to support novel environmental health research in which an unpredictable event or policy change provides a limited window of opportunity to collect human biological samples or environmental exposure data. The primary motivation of the FOA is to understand the consequences of natural and human-made disasters, emerging environmental public health threats, and policy changes in the U.S. and abroad. A distinguishing feature of an appropriate study is the need for rapid review and funding, substantially shorter than the typical NIH grant review/award cycle, for the research question to be addressed and swiftly implemented. |
