This NIH/NIEHS grant supports Competing Revision Awards to establish Virtual Consortia for Translational/Transdisciplinary Environmental Research (ViCTER). The program aims to foster collaborations among basic, clinical, and population-based researchers focusing on environmental stressors to improve human health. It promotes the exchange of knowledge and resources for small, high-risk, high-reward projects with potential for sustained collaborative efforts. Translational research involves the bidirectional flow of information from lab to human populations for disease prevention, while transdisciplinary research uses cross-disciplinary methods. Each virtual consortium will be led by an existing NIEHS-funded researcher collaborating with two new individuals, expanding their current project with new aims to enhance its transdisciplinary or translational scope. This initiative seeks to address key environmental health issues influencing disease development.

| Description: | The purpose of the ViCTER program is to foster and promote transdisciplinary collaborations and/or translational research efforts among basic (technology and mechanism oriented), clinical (patient-oriented) and population-based researchers and other individuals with expertise relevant to environmental health who have come together in common interest around a particular environmental stressor(s) of interest. For the purposes of this FOA, transdisciplinary research is defined as the use of cross-disciplinary methods, insights, and research approaches that would not have occurred with a traditional uni-disciplinary investigation and translational research is defined as research that stimulates the bidirectional flow of information across the spectrum of in vitro, lower animal models, higher animal models, human population or clinical-based research in order to provide data useful for the prevention and intervention of human disease.
The goal of the Consortia Program is to support the exchange of knowledge and resources among collaborators to carry out small high-risk, high-reward transdisciplinary and/or translational research projects with the potential to lead to sustained collaborative efforts addressing key issues to improve human health in those areas where environmental factors are known or expected to influence the development or progression of disease. Each virtual consortium will consist of an NIEHS-funded researcher (lead applicant), who will serve as the Principal Investigator (PI) and overall coordinator of the consortia, and two new collaborators. The Competing Revision application should include one to two new specific aims for the current NIEHS-funded research project and one to two specific aims from each of the new collaborators that will expand the scope of the current project with the goal of making the research more transdisciplinary and/or translational. |
