The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences recognizes the environmental and social impact of the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Oil Spill will continue. To that end, in partnership with other NIH Institutes, NIEHS announced the Deepwater Horizon Research Consortium: Healthy Impacts and Community Resiliency, RFA-ES-11-006. Therefore, effective immediately, NIEHS will no longer accept applications related to the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Oil Spill submitted under program announcements on the Mechanism for Time-Sensitive Research Opportunities in Environmental Health Sciences (PAR-10-083 and PAR-10-084).

NIEHS will continue to accept unsolicited R01, R03, and R21 applications related to the Gulf Oil Spill at all receipt dates.  These applications will be accepted and processed through the regular review/award cycle procedures.
