The mission of the NIEHS is to discover how the environment affects people in order to promote healthier lives. The NIEHS 2018-2023 Strategic plan,   Advancing Environmental Health Science: Improving Health, lays out a set of strategic themes and goals that have been identified as priority areas. A variety of scientific disciplines, including basic, mechanistic, epidemiological, computational, and/or health risk communication approaches, can be used to advance the NIEHS Strategic Plan. NIEHS is interested in projects that have a research focus on exposure-health related responses from environmental agents within our mission. These include industrial chemicals or manufacturing byproducts, metals, pesticides, herbicides, air pollutants and other inhaled toxicants, particulates or fibers, fungal, and bacterial or biologically derived toxins. Secondary smoke exposure as a component of the indoor environment is also within the NIEHS mission. Exposures that are considered outside of the NIEHS mission (e.g., nutrition, psychosocial factors, primary smoking, infectious agents, pharmaceuticals) can be included as secondary factors and possible modifiers of the effects of an NIEHS mission-relevant primary exposure(s).  Applicants are encouraged to contact NIEHS program staff prior to submission to determine if their project is within our mission area and interests.

NLM IC Specific Information:

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) supports innovative research and development in biomedical informatics and data science. The scope of NLM's interest in these research domains is broad, with emphasis on new methods and approaches to foster data driven discovery in the biomedical and clinical health sciences as well as domain-independent, reusable approaches to discovery, curation, analysis, organization and management of health-related digital objects. Biomedical informatics and data science draw upon many fields, including mathematics, statistics, information science, computer science and engineering, and social/behavioral sciences. Application domains include health care delivery, basic biomedical research, clinical and translational research, precision medicine, public health, bio surveillance, intelligent systems for decision support, assuring integrity and security of personal health data, and similar areas. NLM defines biomedical informatics as the science of optimal representation, organization, management, integration and presentation of information relevant to human health and biology. NIH defines data science as the interdisciplinary field of inquiry in which quantitative and analytical approaches, processes, and systems are developed and used to extract knowledge and insights from increasingly large and/or complex sets of data.

ORWH Specific Information:

Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH) is part of the Office of the Director of NIH and works in partnership with the 27 NIH Institutes and Centers to ensure that women's health research is part of the scientific framework at the NIH and throughout the scientific community. The ORWH encourages Early Stage Investigators to integrate the purposeful accounting for sex as a biological variable (SABV) in biomedical research throughout the life span in order to fill gaps in our knowledge and inform more effective, personalized approaches to improve heath for women and men.  For additional guidance, the 2019-2023 Trans-NIH Strategic Plan for the Health of Women is available on the ORWH website (https://www.nih.gov/women/strategicplan).
