Funding Opportunity Purpose |
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), encourages grant applications to understand the role of environmental chemical exposures in the development of obesity, type 2 diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome. Applications must link an environmental exposure to the increased incidence of weight gain, type 2 diabetes and aspects of metabolic syndrome in animal models or human studies. While any exposure window is acceptable it is anticipated that the most sensitive time for exposures to affect the disease outcomes will be during development e.g., in utero and/or neonatal or early childhood. For human studies developmental exposures (in utero and early childhood) should be linked to early biomarkers of disease onset. Animal studies should focus on identifying new environmental chemicals that alter weight gain, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance and altered lipid metabolism indicative of obesity, type 2 diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome. |

Obesity like other complex diseases is caused by a complex interaction between genetic, behavioral and environmental factors. While there is certainly an important genetic component to obesity, the recent epidemic of obesity cannot be due to genetic changes in the population and therefore must be due to changes in environmental influences. There is no doubt that over-nutrition and lack of exercise are important factors in obesity. However, the view that these two factors alone are the primary variables that explain the obesity epidemic is being challenged as far too simplistic, and other factors are now being considered as contributing to the obesity epidemic.
There is an emerging hypothesis, based on data from several chemicals in animal studies that the obesity epidemic could be due to chemical exposures during vulnerable windows of development, mainly in utero and the first few years of life. Indeed in animal models there are data showing that developmental exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals such as tributyl tin, bisphenol A, organochlorine pesticides, air pollution, lead, Diethylstilbestrol, perfuorooctanoic acid, monosodium glutamate and nicotine can lead to increased weight gain later in life.
This emerging hypothesis states that exposure to environmental agents during development can:
The result is an alteration or deregulation of the endocrine set point or sensitivity for developing obesity later in life. The chemicals that cause increased weight gain in animal models are called obesogens. Chemicals that cause not just weight gain but also affect lipid metabolism and glucose sensitivity are called metabolic disruptors.
This hypothesis changes the focus from classical genetics to epigenetics and to nutrition and environmental chemical exposures during critical developmental milestones; most importantly, it changes the focus from intervention to prevention. The prediction from the hypothesis is that the focus should be on pregnancy and infancy, and possibly also early childhood through puberty, as sensitive periods for the development of obesity. Thus, this hypothesis focuses on improving nutrition and prevention of exposure to environmental chemicals during vulnerable windows of development. Obesity is notoriously difficult to treat; thus, a better understanding of the etiology of obesity is critical to developing primary prevention strategies. The optimistic view is that if the chemicals that are related to the obesity epidemic are removed from products that are the primary contributors to human exposures, there would be reason to hope that the current trend of increasing obesity can be ameliorated.
Like obesity, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has also risen dramatically in the United States over the past few decades. Diabetes poses a tremendous and increasing clinical and public health burden for Americans; 19.3 million Americans over the age of 20 years are affected, one third of whom are undiagnosed. Seventy percent of type 2 diabetes risk is attributed to overweight/obesity suggesting a metabolic link between weight gain and type 2 diabetes. Indeed obesity is the leading cause of type 2 diabetes. Of particular concern is the fact that the incidence of type 2 diabetes is increasing in children and adolescents along with the rise in obesity. One in four overweight children has impaired glucose tolerance. Type 2 diabetes is more common in girls than boys and girls are less insulin sensitive as early as 5 years of age.
Blood glucose homeostasis, like control of weight gain, involves a complex gene-environment communication between different tissues, including the liver, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, brain and pancreas. Altered glucose homeostasis leads to type 2 diabetes which consists of defects in both insulin secretion and insulin action (insulin resistance). There is currently no experimental link between environmental chemical exposures and the development of type 2 diabetes. However, epidemiology studies report an increased risk of obesity and/or type 2 diabetes in women who smoke or who were exposed to persistent organic pollutants (including PCBs, DDE or dioxin) during pregnancy and there are animal data linking bisphenol A and atrazine exposures to altered glucose tolerance and insulin resistance.
Metabolic syndrome is also associated with the rise in obesity and may progress to type 2 diabetes. It is defined clinically as a combination of at least three of the following five dysfunctions: hypertension, central adiposity, increased serum triglycerides and low serum HDL and fasting high blood sugar. There is significant data supporting the idea that metabolic syndrome is programmed during development and that there is a role for maternal diet in its etiology. While there are no data linking developmental exposures to environmental chemicals to actual metabolic syndrome there are data showing effects of exposures on the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Thus what is needed are data on the effects of environmental exposures on lipid profiles and blood pressure in addition to weight gain and altered glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in order to link the exposures to actual metabolic syndrome.
There is a strong interrelationship between obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In addition, preliminary data in animal models suggest that environmental exposures that cause one of these diseases also, in many cases, cause the others also. Thus it is important to understand the role of environmental exposures not just in one of these diseases but to all of them in the same study to really understand the impact of the environmental exposures on metabolism. It may be that certain environmental exposures lead to the development of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome and others are specific for one disease or the other. This is an important question to answer.
The following topics, while not comprehensive, provide research ideas that fit this funding opportunity announcement.
When possible dose responses should be assessed, internal levels of the environmental chemical should be measured and sex differences should be examined. Note also that just measuring weight gain is not sufficient to indicate obesity; actual size and composition of adipose tissue depots, including both brown and white adipose tissue should be assessed.
The focus of this funding opportunity announcement is to understand the role of chemical exposures in the development of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. It is not focused on the comorbidities that result from these diseases/dysfunctions.
Applications should not be submitted to this FOA that focus on bisphenol A (BPA) as the environmental exposure.

For this particular announcement, note the following:
The R21 exploratory/developmental grant supports investigation of novel scientific ideas or new model systems, tools, or technologies that have the potential for significant impact on biomedical or biobehavioral research. An R21 grant application need not have extensive background material or preliminary information. Accordingly, reviewers will focus their evaluation on the conceptual framework, the level of innovation, and the potential to significantly advance our knowledge or understanding. Appropriate justification for the proposed work can be provided through literature citations, data from other sources, or, when available, from investigator-generated data. Preliminary data are not required for R21 applications; however, they may be included if available.
Reviewers will provide an overall impact/priority score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved, in consideration of the following review criteria and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed).
Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.
Significance
Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field?
Investigator(s)
Are the PD(s)/PI(s), collaborators, and other researchers well suited to the project? If Early Stage Investigators or New Investigators, or in the early stages of independent careers, do they have appropriate experience and training? If established, have they demonstrated an ongoing record of accomplishments that have advanced their field(s)? If the project is collaborative or multi-PD/PI, do the investigators have complementary and integrated expertise; are their leadership approach, governance and organizational structure appropriate for the project?
Innovation
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed?
Approach
Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses
well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the specific aims of the project?
Are potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success
presented? If the project is in the early stages of development, will the
strategy establish feasibility and will particularly risky aspects be
managed?
If the project involves clinical research, are the plans for 1) protection of
human subjects from research risks, and 2) inclusion of minorities and members
of both sexes/genders, as well as the inclusion of children, justified in terms
of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed?
Environment
Will the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Are the institutional support, equipment and other physical resources available to the investigators adequate for the project proposed? Will the project benefit from unique features of the scientific environment, subject populations, or collaborative arrangements?
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will evaluate the following additional items while determining scientific and technical merit, and in providing an overall impact/priority score, but will not give separate scores for these items.
Protections for Human Subjects
For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, the committee will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their
participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data
and safety monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or
more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46,
the committee will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human
subjects involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For
additional information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to
the Human
Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children
When the proposed project involves clinical research, the committee will evaluate the proposed plans for inclusion of minorities and members of both genders, as well as the inclusion of children. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Human Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Vertebrate Animals
The committee will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains, ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
Biohazards
Reviewers will assess whether materials or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.
Resubmissions
For Resubmissions, the committee will evaluate the application as now presented, taking into consideration the responses to comments from the previous scientific review group and changes made to the project.
Renewals
Not Applicable
Revisions
For Revisions, the committee will consider the appropriateness of the proposed expansion of the scope of the project. If the Revision application relates to a specific line of investigation presented in the original application that was not recommended for approval by the committee, then the committee will consider whether the responses to comments from the previous scientific review group are adequate and whether substantial changes are clearly evident.
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will consider each of the following items, but will not give scores for these items, and should not consider them in providing an overall impact/priority score.
Applications from Foreign Organizations
Reviewers will assess whether the project presents special opportunities for furthering research programs through the use of unusual talent, resources, populations, or environmental conditions that exist in other countries and either are not readily available in the United States or augment existing U.S. resources.
Select Agent Research
Reviewers will assess the information provided in this section of the application, including 1) the Select Agent(s) to be used in the proposed research, 2) the registration status of all entities where Select Agent(s) will be used, 3) the procedures that will be used to monitor possession use and transfer of Select Agent(s), and 4) plans for appropriate biosafety, biocontainment, and security of the Select Agent(s).
Resource Sharing Plans
Not Applicable.
Budget and Period of Support
Reviewers will consider whether the budget and the requested period of support are fully justified and reasonable in relation to the proposed research.
Applications will be evaluated for scientific and technical merit by (an) appropriate Scientific Review Group(s), in accordance with NIH peer review policy and procedures, using the stated review criteria. Review assignments will be shown in the eRA Commons.
As part of the scientific peer review, all applications:
Applications will be assigned on the basis of established PHS referral guidelines to the appropriate NIH Institute or Center.
