Mechanism for Time-Sensitive Opportunity in Environmental Health Sciences (R21)

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is intended to support environmental health research in which an unpredictable event provides a limited window of opportunity to collect human biological samples or environmental exposure data.

consequences of natural and man-made disasters or emerging environmental public health threats in the U. S. and abroad.

A distinguishing feature of an appropriate study is the need for rapid review and funding (substantially shorter than the typical NIH grant review/award cycle) in order for the research question to be addressed and swiftly implemented.

The shortened timeframe will be achieved by more frequent application due dates and expediting peer review, council concurrence and award issuance.

The entire cycle, from submission to award, is expected to be within 3-4 months.
