Funding-NIH - Biogeochemical Interactions Affecting Bioavailability for in situ Remediation of Hazardous Substances (R01); October 1, 2013

Agency

National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences

Description

Contaminants in the environment are affected by complex biological, geological and chemical processes that have implications for both remediation effectiveness as well as exposure risk to humans.  By understanding the mechanisms of these complex interactions, we are better equipped to optimize remediation strategies and, therefore, improve science-based decision making for site management, priority-setting, and remedy selection.  This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will support problem-solving research on the mechanisms of biogeochemical interactions affecting bioavailability in the context of in situ remediation of contaminated soil, sediment, surface water, or groundwater.
