Description
This
funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is intended to support novel
environmental health research in which an unpredictable event or policy change
provides a limited window of opportunity to collect human biological samples or
environmental exposure data. The primary motivation of the FOA is to understand
the consequences of natural and human-made disasters, emerging environmental
public health threats, and policy changes in the U.S. and abroad. A
distinguishing feature of an appropriate study is the need for rapid review and
funding, substantially shorter than the typical NIH grant review/award cycle,
for the research question to be addressed and swiftly
implemented.
The
shortened timeframe will be achieved by more frequent application due dates and
expediting peer review, council concurrence and award issuance. The entire
cycle, from submission to award, is expected to be within 3-4 months. The final
Application Due Date for this opportunity is October 3,
2022.
