What the grant funds
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit grant applications that propose to: (1) support the maintenance and resource infrastructure enrichment for existing Environmental Epidemiology Cohorts (EECs) and to (2) enrich data management and data sharing activities to promote widespread data sharing and scientific collaborations to be inclusive of under-resourced minority-serving institutions and under-represented minority researchers. The ultimate goal is to maintain and maximize NIEHS cohort investments within the environmental epidemiology community by improving data collection on under-represented populations in environmental health studies, strengthening workforce diversity and promoting greater scientific collaboration.
