The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, (NIEHS) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), intend to promote a new initiative by publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to invite new and renewal applications for Centers for Oceans and Human Health.
These multi-component projects will characterize and evaluate the impact of climate change on emerging public health threats associated with marine and Great Lakes Basin environments. Each center will include distinct but integrated research projects on marine or Great Lakes exposures, mechanisms of toxicity or human exposure, and the influence of climate change, using multidisciplinary ocean science, analytical, toxicological and biomedical approaches. Centers will foster strong community partnerships through a Community Engagement Core (CEC) for impactful communication and translation of research.
This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.
The FOA is expected to be published in summer 2022 with an expected application due date in fall 2022.
This FOA will utilize the P01 activity code. Details of the planned FOA are provided below.
NIEHS and NSF will collaboratively support Centers that include a minimum of three research projects, a CEC, and an Administrative Core. COHH4 awards will be expected to create an environment conducive to interdisciplinary and reciprocally beneficial collaborations among biomedical scientists (e.g., epidemiologists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, microbiologists, cell and molecular biologists) and ocean scientists or limnologists (e.g., biological and physical oceanographers, geochemists, and ecologists) with the common goal of improving our knowledge of the impacts of the ocean and Great Lakes on human health. The Center should include at least one project on human health and toxicity, and at least one project that uses oceanographic and marine science approaches to characterize oceans or Great Lakes exposures. Each project should describe distinct goals that are integrated into the overall theme of the Center. At least one of the three required projects should explore the influence of climate change on existing or emerging public health risks.
