Purpose

As part of its effort to develop the new program, Partnerships for Environmental Public Health (PEPH), the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is announcing a one-time opportunity for active NIEHS-funded grantees (except T, K, and F grants) to apply for administrative supplements to support activities to:

  • Build new partnerships with community groups/stakeholders,
  • Develop and/or disseminate educational and outreach materials,
  • Enhance communication with partners (i.e., town meetings, forums on selected topics),
  • Evaluate (process and outcome evaluations) strategies to quantify public health impact, or
  • Engage community and researchers in Environmental Health Science research projects. 

The purpose of this supplement announcement is two-fold: first, to provide support for grantees already working in this area to enhance current grant activities within the scope of the peer reviewed application; second, to encourage scientists with a traditional research focus to communicate/translate their research into materials or messages that are useful to other groups, such as the lay public, health care professionals, decision makers, or educators.  Details of this supplement announcement can be found at http://www.niehs.nih.gov/funding/grants/announcements/peph.cfm.   

Applications must be received by February 22, 2008.
