Applicants may propose biomonitoring activities under one of the following components to be completed during a 3-year funding period: Community biomonitoring investigations in a targeted area for metals, pesticides, or PFAS. State- or regional-level biomonitoring studies. Measurement of chemicals of emerging concern that are not included in the National Exposure Report (examples include, but are not limited to, radiobioassay, nontargeted analysis, microplastics, nutritional biomarkers, ethylene oxide or assessment of secondhand smoke exposure to cannabis).
