Purpose

The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities in partnership with the National Institute on Environmental Health Sciences and the National Cancer Institute intends to promote the continuation of The Environmental Health Disparities Centers program (referred to as the EHD Centers) by publishing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications. The EHD Centers will conduct environmental health disparities and environmental justice research, engage in research capacity building, and provide training across diverse disciplines and backgrounds with a disease agnostic focus. The Centers program will be updated to align with recent executive order (EO 14096) focused on environmental justice. For this renewal the program will focus on the prevention and mitigation of adverse environmental exposures that disproportionately impact racial, ethnic, under resourced and underserved populations. Projects must focus on one or more NIH-designated health disparities populations (defined here) within the US and its territories, specifically racial and ethnic minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations and with the intersection of persons with disabilities, sexual and gender minorities, and persons from rural and/or under resourced areas.

This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to begin planning to develop responsive applications.

The NOFO is expected to be published in Summer 2024 with an expected application due date in Fall 2024.

This NOFO will utilize the P50 Specialized Centers activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are below.

Research Initiative Details

The EHD Centers Program will support multidisciplinary and community-engaged research, to build research capacity building and generate innovative approaches to mitigate detrimental environmental exposures and improve access to healthy and sustainable environments.

The initiative will prioritize local intervention research which engages communities and low resource institutions through equitable partnerships to identify strategies and determine appropriate methods to address environmental health disparities and environmental justice research for participating communities and populations within the US and its territories.
