Limited Competition: Superfund Hazardous Substance Research and Training Program (P42 Clinical Trial Optional)

Limited Submissions

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is announcing the continuation of the Superfund Hazardous Substance Research and Training Program, referred to as Superfund Research Program (SRP) Centers. SRP Center grants will support problem-based, solution-oriented research Centers that consist of multiple, integrated projects representing both the biomedical and environmental science and engineering disciplines; as well as cores tasked with administrative (which includes Center leadership, data management, and training); translational research and engagement; and research support functions.

The goal of this opportunity is to support innovative research and training through multi-project, interdisciplinary grants.  Areas of research may include: (1) advanced techniques for the detection, assessment, and evaluation of the effects of hazardous substances on human health; (2) methods to assess the risks to human health presented by hazardous substances; (3) methods and technologies to detect hazardous substances in the environment; and (4) basic biological, chemical, and physical methods to reduce the amount and toxicity of hazardous substances.
