The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering grants through its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program for research on adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) predicting developmental neurotoxicity (DNT). Projects should enhance understanding of AOPs, linking exposure to outcomes, and develop AOP-based models for chemical testing to predict DNT risks. Priority is given to research on endocrine signaling pathways affecting neurodevelopment, but other AOPs are also eligible. Closing date for applications: Dec 19, 2012.

| Description:: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing research that will identify and/or provide a better understanding of adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) that lead to developmental neurotoxicity (DNT). Such research should advance the state of knowledge by linking key events along the continuum from exposure to adverse outcomes, including windows of susceptibility, and ultimately resulting in AOP-based data and models for chemical testing that will allow risk assessors to predict DNT. EPA is particularly interested in funding research projects that focus on endocrine signaling pathways that alter neurodevelopment, but will accept research proposals that address other AOPs. |
