The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is

active NIEHS U45 Worker Education and Training cooperative agreement 
awardees that can demonstrate capacity to enhance existing training 
activities in preparation of nationally significant disasters or 
terrorist attacks with Weapons of Mass Destruction. A list of the 
active awardees can be found at 
http://www.niehs.nih.gov/wetp/program/hazwaste3.htm. $1M dollars is available 
and no request can exceed $200,000 in total costs for one year.

Requests should be sent to NIEHS by July 15, 2004. Funds may be

response workers to respond to future terrorist attacks or to prepare 
emergency responders and workers in other high risk facilities for 
response to possible terrorist attacks.  

The purpose of these administrative supplements is to develop an 
integrated education and training approach that will address worker

September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.
