Specific Areas of Research Interest
NIEHS supports research that advances the NIEHS 2018-2023 Strategic Plan and is responsive to the mission of NIEHS, which is to promote healthier lives by discovering how the environment affects people. NIEHS encourages projects that are community engaged, if applicable, and include a variety of scientific disciplines, including basic, mechanistic, clinical, epidemiological, computational, engineering, social and behavioral sciences, implementation science and/or health risk communication approaches to advance our mission. Applicants should consult the strategic plan to ensure the research proposed addresses the goals and priority areas of the NIEHS. Applications submitted to this NOFO must have a research focus on exposure-health related responses from environmental agents within the mission interest of the NIEHS (e.g., industrial chemicals or manufacturing byproducts, metals, pesticides, herbicides, air pollutants and other inhaled toxicants, particulates or fibers, fungal, and bacterial or biologically derived toxins). Agents that are not considered within the primary mission responsibility of NIEHS include, but are not limited to: alcohol; chemotherapeutic agents; radiation that is not a result of an ambient environmental exposure; smoking, except when considered as a secondary smoke exposure that is a component in the indoor environment (particularly in children); drugs of abuse; pharmaceuticals; dietary nutrients; and infectious or parasitic agents. Applications that focus entirely, or primarily, on these exposure factors will be not be considered for support by NIEHS. All potential applicants are encouraged to contact NIEHS Scientific/Research Contact listed in this NOFO.
