Health
Effects Institute
Description
The
Health Effects Institute was chartered in 1980 as an independent research
organization to provide high-quality, impartial, and relevant science on the
health effects of air pollution.
To
help advance that mission, HEI welcomes applications for the Walter A. Rosenblith New Investigator Award. Through the program,
grants of up to $500,000 over as many as three years will be awarded in support
of research being conducted by early investigators on the health effects of air
pollution. Research projects are often interdisciplinary in nature and span a
range of scientific fields, including atmospheric science, epidemiology,
exposure science, statistics, and toxicology. In considering potential research
topics, applicants should be aware of HEI’s current priorities (as described in
the draft HEI Strategic Plan for the Health Effects of Air Pollution
2020-2025), which this year are focused on four key areas: multipollutant
science; accountability and transparency; emerging technologies and fuels; and
global health science.
HEI
strongly encourages individuals who are underrepresented in environmental
exposure and health research to apply and encourages all applicants to
diversify their research teams by including underrepresented individuals,
including those attuned to and knowledgeable about the communities in which the
studies are taking place to the extent appropriate given the study
location(s).
Please
Note: All prospective applicants are required to contact Dr. Dan Crouse (dcrouse@healtheffects.org)
to verify their eligibility before applying.
