Grantee Research Project Results

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency announces extramural funding for a cooperative agreement to address priority clinical research areas. It is anticipated that the awardee will engage in cooperative studies with investigators of the Environmental Public Health Division (NHEERL/ORD), located on the Medical School Campus of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Although it is expected that the majority of studies done under this cooperative agreement will address issues related to air pollution, opportunities may also arise in which it would be appropriate to conduct cooperative studies which address other environmental issues that can impact human health relevant to EPA’s mission, such as water quality or contaminants exposure and health effects related to man-made chemicals, or providing information and tools that could result in healthier communities . This document provides relevant background information, summarizes EPA’s interest in supporting this cooperative agreement, and describes eligibility requirements and application instructions for the program.
