Biological Response Indicators of Environmental Stress (U01): This Funding Opportunity Announcement represents one part of a comprehensive program to develop and refine panels of biomarkers of biological response to environmental stressors. By measuring the cellular, molecular and physiologic responses to environmental stressors in key physiologic and pathophysiologic pathways, the relationships between genetic and non-genetic factors that contribute to disease will be better defined. This program will focus on a product-development approach for the discovery, confirmation, and application of innovative biomarkers, especially those with potential for scale-up for use in large population studies. The total amount of funding to be committed to this program is $16 million (total costs) over 4 years. Each year $4 million will be awarded. Anticipated number of awards: 6-8.

Applicants Eligible for this Grant: County governments Public and State controlled institutions of higher education Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities Special district governments Small businesses Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification) City or township governments State governments For profit organizations other than small businesses Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments) Private institutions of higher education Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized) Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education Independent school districts
Additional Information on Eligibility: Foreign institutions are eligible to apply. Eligible agencies of the Federal Government can apply. Faith-based or community-based organizations can apply. Milestones All applications must include a specific section labeled Milestones for each year. Milestones should be annual, well-described, quantitative, and scientifically justified and not simply a restatement of the specific aims. Rather, the milestones should offer a timeline and a pathway for the development of the proposed technology. These milestones will be used to judge the success of the proposed research on an individual-project basis. It is expected that the milestones will be adjusted annually at the award anniversary dates to incorporate the group's scientific accomplishments and progress and to reflect any recommendations of the Steering and Advisory Committees. Meetings Because the Exposure Biology Program uses the cooperative funding mechanism, investigators will be expected to attend Steering Committee meetings two times per year and participate in monthly conference calls to discuss their research progress. Funds to support travel of the key investigators to attend these meetings should be included in the application budget.
