NIH
The Transition to Independent Environmental Health (TIEHR) Career Award is a 3-year bridge scholar development program for newly independent faculty who intend to pursue research careers in environmental health sciences. At the conclusion of the career development period the candidates are expected to demonstrate they can successfully compete for research funding in the environmental health sciences. All applications submitted to this Funding Opportunity Announcement must propose basic science experimental studies involving humans, otherwise referred to in NOT-OD-18-212 as prospective basic science studies involving human participants, that fall within the NIH definition of a clinical trial and meet the definition of basic research.

PAR-21-172 – Transition to Independent Environmental Health Research (TIEHR) Career Award (K01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NIH
The Transition to Independent Environmental Health (TIEHR) Career Award is a 3-year bridge scholar development program for newly independent faculty who intend to pursue research careers in environmental health sciences. At the conclusion of the career development period the candidates are expected to demonstrate they can successfully compete for research funding in the environmental health sciences. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for applicants proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary study to a clinical trial. Applicants to this FOA are permitted to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.

RFA-ES-23-011 – Time-Sensitive Research Opportunities in Environmental Health Sciences (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NIH
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is intended to support novel environmental health research in which an unpredictable event or policy change provides a limited window of opportunity to collect human biological samples or environmental exposure data. The primary motivation of the FOA is to understand the consequences of natural and human-made disasters, emerging environmental public health threats, and policy changes in the U.S. and abroad. A distinguishing feature of an appropriate study is the need for rapid review and funding, substantially shorter than the typical NIH grant review/award cycle, for the research question to be addressed and swiftly implemented.

RFA-ES-21-007 – Virtual Consortium for Translational/Transdisciplinary Environmental Research (ViCTER) (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
NIH
In 2010, NIEHS developed the Virtual Consortium for Translational/Transdisciplinary Environmental Research (ViCTER) program to address key obstacles in conducting integrative research in the context of a single research project. This funding opportunity announcement continues the ViCTER program and invites investigators with interest and expertise in areas relevant to the field of environmental health sciences to develop and implement a translational/transdisciplinary research project. ViCTER projects are expected to foster a better understanding of the mechanism of disease/dysfunction in those areas where environmental factors are known or are suspected to influence the development or progression of disease. The initiative will allow investigators to extend existing areas of research in new directions and/or develop novel lines of inquiry through the creation of a virtual consortium that includes new perspectives, such as basic mechanistic, clinical, epidemiological, computational, engineering, behavioral/social science, health risk communication, and/or initiating approaches for intervention, prevention, and implementation. By employing translational/transdisciplinary approaches, investigators will be able to improve the potential impact of their work on public health. Furthermore, these transdisciplinary/translational research approaches also have the capacity to bring innovation to environmental health sciences. NIEHS recognizes that there is novelty in bringing together approaches from one discipline/line of inquiry and applying them to another line of inquiry. While the approaches may not always appear to be innovative independently, it is the combination of approaches together that create the innovation.

HT9425-23-TERP-TRA – DOD Toxic Exposures, Translational Research Award
Department of Defense
The FY23 TERP TRA is intended to support translational research that will accelerate the movement of promising ideas in military-related toxic exposure research into clinical applications, including health care products, interventions, technologies, and/or clinical practice guidelines. Translational research may be defined as an integration of basic science and clinical observations. New Approach Methodologies may also be used. The ultimate goal of translational research is to move a concept or observation forward into clinical application that is relevant to active-duty Service Members, Veterans, other military beneficiaries, and/or the American public. Applications should provide evidence for the reciprocal transfer of information between basic and clinical science or vice versa in developing and implementing the research plan.

HT9425-23-TERP-IIRA – DOD Toxic Exposures, Investigator-Initiated Research Award
Department of Defense
The FY23 TERP IIRA is intended to support studies that will make an important contribution toward research and/or patient care for a disease or condition associated with military-related toxic exposures. Research projects may focus on any phase of research from basic laboratory research through translational research, including preclinical studies in animal models and human subjects, as well as correlative studies associated with an existing clinical trial. New Approach Methodologies may also be used.

BLRD Merit Review Award for Military Exposure Research Program (MERP) (I01)
Veterans Health Administration
BLRD funds preclinical biomedical and behavioral studies of disorders and diseases of importance to the health of Veterans. The BLRD purview includes in vitro and in vivo studies using tissue cultures, animal models, or human biological samples collected using minimally invasive procedures (blood, urine, buccal swabs) or from tissues acquired without direct contact with subjects (e.g., from tissue banks or pathology material). Applications under this RFA involving human subject’s biological materials must include Veterans who have experienced the impact of toxic military exposures (ME).

COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH FOR EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS, POLICIES, AND DECISIONS TO MITIGATE CUMULATIVE HEALTH IMPACTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DISPARITIES IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES
Environmental Protection Agency
This Request for Applications (RFA) aims to further advance the scientific knowledge essential for obtaining an accurate and realistic assessment of the cumulative impacts from multiple chemical and non-chemical stressors, exacerbated by environmental factors, including racial and social injustices in underserved communities. It seeks applications for community-based scientific research to assess cumulative impacts from multiple combined and interacting environmental (chemical [pollutants/contaminants] and non-chemical) stressors upon human health in underserved communities. The RFA will seek research proposals to (1) improve health, well-being, and quality of life outcomes by assessing and addressing cumulative impacts resulting from combinations of chemical and non-chemical stressors in underserved communities and investigate how the scientific information can be used to develop effective cumulative impact assessment approaches and/or methods; and (2) investigate how cumulative impact assessment approaches and/or methods can be used to shape better informed practical programs, policies, and decisions to eliminate environmental health disparities. The applicants are asked to identify and work with specific communities, state, tribal, and/or local programs and policies that cumulative impact assessment can improve and inform explicitly where in the decision-making process the cumulative impact assessment can be applied.

PAR-22-210 – Research to Action: Assessing and Addressing Community Exposures to Environmental Contaminants (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement encourages applications using community-engaged research methods to investigate the potential health risks of environmental exposures of concern to the community and to implement an environmental public health action plan based on research findings. The overall goal is to inform and support efforts to prevent or reduce exposure to harmful environmental exposures and improve the health of a community.
