The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is offering this grant to fund research applications. This grant is for the purpose of developing high-throughput assays. These assays will be used to analyze chemicals and chemical mixtures, aiming to establish causal links between exposure and adverse, apical outcomes related to development and reproduction. Projects should investigate toxicity modulated through the endocrine system or various pertinent pathways. The assay systems developed must be relevant to both human health and ecological risk assessment, encompassing human populations and other relevant species. Additionally, this solicitation actively encourages and includes specific opportunities for early career projects.

| Description: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications for research in development of high-throughput assays for use in analyzing chemicals or mixtures of chemicals to explain how exposure can be causally related to adverse, apical outcomes related to development and reproduction. These applications can address toxicity modulated by chemical effects on the endocrine system or via a variety of other pathways. Assay systems of interest are those relevant to humans and other species relevant to human health and/or ecological risk assessment.
In addition to regular awards, this solicitation includes the opportunity for early career projects. Please see Section III of this Request for Applications (RFA) for details on the early career eligibility criteria |
