The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking grant applications to develop new or improved environmental public health indicators (EPHIs). The primary goal is to establish stronger linkages between environmental hazards, human exposures, and public health outcomes. This research aims to create indicators useful for long-term tracking and surveillance of environmental public health, facilitating better-informed decision-making, and evaluating the real-world impacts of environmental risk management strategies. Proposed projects should leverage existing knowledge bases, data sources, or cohorts to develop EPHIs that enhance understanding of the complex relationships among environmental conditions, human exposure, and public health. Novel statistical methods or models are encouraged to establish probable relationships between existing datasets or investigate policy consequences.

| Description: | Geospatial information may be involved. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications to develop new or improved environmental public health indicators (EPHIs) to build linkages between environmental hazards, human exposures, and public health outcomes. The aim of the research is to develop indicators that can be used for long-term tracking and surveillance of environmental public health, making better informed decisions, and assessing the actual impacts of environmental risk management decisions. Proposed projects should capitalize on existing knowledge bases, data sources, or cohorts to develop EPHIs that reflect a better understanding of the relationships between environmental conditions, human exposure, and/or public health outcomes. Novel application of statistical methods or models may be needed to establish probable relationships between existing datasets or investigate the consequences of environmental actions and policy changes. |
