The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering a grant through its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program for research on the relationship between air pollution and cardiovascular disease development. This grant aims to explore the mechanisms linking air pollution to cardiovascular risk, including early subclinical damage and novel endpoints. Researchers are encouraged to investigate markers of cardio-metabolic responses and cerebrovascular disease. The EPA is particularly interested in innovative methods that promote broad access to data generated by the research. Applications are accepted until August 2, 2016.

| Description: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing to expand and inform the understanding of the mechanism(s) by which air pollution contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease. Specifically, research is needed to estimate the total cardiovascular risk associated with exposure to air pollution, including indicators of early subclinical damage and novel endpoints, in addition to established morbidity and mortality outcomes. Research is also needed to understand related endpoints such as markers of cardio-metabolic responses and cerebrovascular disease. In consideration of the implications of this research and of regulations promoting open access to federally funded data, the Agency is seeking applications that develop innovative methods for broad access to data generated in response to this solicitation. |
