[ Health Effects Institute – Health Effects of Air Pollution | Research Funding ]
Event details
| Date | 21.04.2020 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: The Health Effects Institute (HEI) is interested in receiving applications for research on novel and important aspects of the health effects of air pollutants, particularly those derived from motor vehicle emissions. HEI is particularly interested in applications that address the following topics: (a) accountability or effectiveness of air quality regulations, (b) strengthening causal interpretation of evidence from existing cohorts, or (c) contributions of wildland and agricultural burning to air quality and health. Additionally, applications will be considered not only on these three specific topics, but also on other issues related to improving our understanding and assessment of the health risks of exposure to motor vehicle emissions, secondary pollutants derived from them, and the whole air pollution mixture to which they contribute. HEI expects to fund three to five studies from this RFA.
Funding: $500’000 (small to medium sized studies)
$800’000 (medium to large sized studies)
Duration: 2 years (small to medium sized studies)
3 years (medium to large sized studies)
How to Apply: Applicants should first submit a brief Preliminary Application that provides the following information: title, scientific rationale, a brief description of the study aims, design and methods, statistical methods, and anticipated results. An estimated total budget and study duration should also be provided. In addition, brief biosketches (maximum 2 pages per person) of the principal investigator and key co-investigator(s) should be provided. Investigators should use the Preliminary Application Form provided on the HEI webiste. The preliminary application must be no more than 4 pages in length; longer applications will be rejected.
Preliminary applications will be reviewed by the Research Committee and based on relevance of the proposed research to HEI’s mission as well as scientific merit of the preliminary application, a limited number will be invited for a full application. Applicants will be informed whether or not to submit a full application by early July.
Deadline, preliminary application: 21-April-2020
Deadline, full app. (by invitation): 09-September-2020
