The Role of Air Pollutants in Cardiovascular Disease: The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invite research applications to address the mechanisms by which air pollutants, especially particulate matter, contribute to the development, progression, or exacerbation of cardiovascular disease. The major purposes of this initiative are to: o support innovative, multidisciplinary in vitro and in vivo research, in laboratory animals and humans, on the specific cellular, molecular, and physiologic mechanisms by which air pollutants mediate adverse cardiovascular effects; o identify and investigate factors, such as age, pre-existing disease, and genetics, that make individuals more susceptible to the cardiovascular effects of air pollutants; and o encourage collaboration between cardiovascular researchers and environmental health researchers in the application of the state-of- the-art tools and models to the problem of environmentally related cardiovascular disease.
