SWEHSC Pilot Projects – Revised Application Date
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SCIENCE PILOT GRANTS PROGRAM
The mission of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), a unit of the National Institutes of Health, is to discover how the environment affects people in order to promote healthier lives. To fulfill this mission the NIEHS wants to recruit the best and brightest investigators to perform environmental health science research.
The Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center (SWEHSC), an NIEHS-funded center at the University of Arizona, is promoting the mission of NIEHS through the availability of Pilot Project awards up to $40,000.
To learn more about how these projects fit in the NIEHS 2018-2023 Strategic Plan, visit this link: https://www.niehs.nih.gov/about/strategicplan/index.cfm
Pilot projects are designed to provide support for obtaining preliminary data that can be used in developing major proposals for submission to extramural funding agencies.
All State of Arizona faculty are eligible and encouraged to apply. Junior and clinical faculty who have not previously performed research in environmental health science, but who would be interested in broadening their research to include environmentally related research, are especially invited by the center to apply.
Since a goal of the Pilot Projects is to promote collaborations, projects that provide for interaction with existing SWEHSC investigators are encouraged. Use of UA Research, Discovery and Innovation Facility Cores is encouraged, since fees associated with use of these facilities can be requested in addition to the $40,000 maximum budget.
Deadline
Submit your application to Clark Lantz, PhD (lantz@email.arizona.edu) by 5:00 p.m., Friday, Sept. 6, 2019. (NOTE: This is a revised date from previous announcements.)
