## What the grant funds

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research coordination and data support for the Health and Extreme Weather (HEW) initiative. This solicitation will include two closely aligned components: research coordination and data support. The coordinating component will be responsible for facilitating engagement across the initiative’s NIH grantees and the larger HEW community of practice (CoP). This component will share best practices across the CoP, create training and educational resources, organize working groups and larger meetings, and otherwise disseminate information to the HEW CoP. The data component will develop resources and infrastructure to facilitate access to and use of health and environmental data by the HEW CoP. The data component will identify data-related needs in the CoP, provide training to address these needs, support sharing and linking of health, environmental, and geospatial data, and collaborate with other NIH data initiatives to reduce duplication, advance data science, and promote the use of data standards and harmonization. The coordinating and data components will be required to work in close partnership with each other to coordinate training, education, dissemination, and other research support activities. This NOFO will utilize the U2C activity code, which the National Institutes of Health (NIH) uses to support high impact research and research infrastructure activities. The U2C is a cooperative agreement that requires substantial federal programmatic staff involvement. Grant authorities that allow NIEHS to forecast this opportunity are as follows: 42 USC 285l (NIEHS specific); 42 USC section 241 (NIH grant authorities).
