Superfund Basic Research and Training Program (P42): -The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is announcing the continuation of the Superfund Basic Research and Training Program [referred to as the Superfund Basic Research Program (SBRP)]. -SBRP grants will support coordinated, multi-project, multi- and interdisciplinary research programs to address the mandates legislated under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986. These mandates include the development of 1) methods and technologies to detect hazardous substances in the environment; (2) advanced techniques for the detection, assessment, and evaluation of the effect on human health of hazardous substances; (3) methods to assess the risks to human health presented by hazardous substances; and (4) basic biological, chemical, and physical methods to reduce the amount and toxicity of hazardous substances. -The objective for the SBRP is to develop a holistic research agenda for the protection of human health. This is accomplished by the establishment of interdisciplinary programs that link and integrate biomedical research with related engineering, hydrogeologic, and ecologic components within the context of unique scientific themes developed by the applicant.

Additional Information on Eligibility
Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. Applicants must propose a multi-project, inter- and multi-disciplinary research program that addresses a central theme and that is related to the goals of the SBRP. This interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary effort should bring together investigators from different scientific disciplines to direct discrete Research Projects, each of which is to be related to the central theme developed for the applicant s program. It is expected that the research team will include the expertise required to perform the research proposed and be comprised of scientists that represent the biomedical and non-biomedical (i.e., engineering, geology, microbiology, ecology, etc.) fields of study. The applicant must name a Principal Investigator as the designated leader of the SBRP multi-project grant to provide scientific and administrative leadership to the program. The Principal Investigator must commit a minimum of 1.8 person months to the administration of the program. See announcement, for full details.
