Advanced Research Cooperation for Environmental Health: The mission of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is to reduce the burden of human illness and dysfunction from environmental exposures. The NIEHS achieves its mission through multidisciplinary biomedical research programs, prevention and intervention efforts, and communication strategies that encompass training, education, technology transfer, and community outreach. An important element of the NIEHS mission is to develop the research capacity of minority-serving institutions that have research scientists who are committed to understanding the impact of environmental exposures on human health. To address this need, the NIEHS has developed a Thematic Program Project Grant (S11) that focuses on establishing research partnerships between investigators at Research Intensive Universities (RIUs) with significant biomedical health sciences research and at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) with graduate and/or professional schools conferring doctoral degrees. MSIs for the purposes of this solicitation are academic institutions, either medical or non-medical, that have a minority enrollment greater than 50 percent. This includes Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities. The purpose of this grant is to establish a research infrastructure and a hypothesis-driven research program at a Minority Serving Institute that develops a cadre of investigators that will successfully compete for Research Project Grant (RPG) support.
