Measurement and Monitoring Methods for Air Toxics and Contaminants of Emerging Concern in the Atmosphere

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing research to advance air measurement and monitoring methods for air toxics and contaminants of emerging concern in the atmosphere.

Specifically, this RFA

seeks research that will provide:
1. advancements in measurement techniques for real time, continuous measurements of concentrations with minimum detection limits below background concentrations or health risk-based thresholds; and 2. advancements in stationary or mobile near source measurement methods for quantifying emission rates of fugitive emissions.This solicitation provides the opportunity for the submission of applications for projects that may involve human subjects research.

Human subjects research supported by the EPA is governed by EPA Regulation 40 CFR Part 26 (Protection of Human Subjects).

This includes the Common Rule at subpart A and prohibitions and additional protections for pregnant women and fetuses, nursing women, and children at subparts B, C, and D.

Research meeting the regulatory definition of intentional exposure research found in subpart B is prohibited by that subpart in pregnant women, nursing women, and children.

Research meeting the regulatory definition of observational research found in subparts C and D is subject to the additional protections found in those subparts for pregnant women and fetuses (subpart C) and children (subpart D).

All applications must include a Human Subjects Research Statement (HSRS, as described in Section IV.C.

6. c of this solicitation), and if the project involves human subjects research, it will be subject to an additional level of review prior to funding decisions being made as described in Sections V.D and V.F of this solicitation.Guidance and training for investigators conducting EPA-funded research involving human subjects may be obtained here:https://www.epa.gov/osa/basic-information-about-human-subjects-research-0https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title40/40cfr26_main_0 2. tplIn addition to regular awards, this solicitation includes the opportunity for early career awards.

The purpose of the early career award is to fund research projects smaller in scope and budget by early career PIs.

It is expected that the majority of the research will be performed by early career investigators.

Further, it is expected that significant resources will be allotted to early career investigators to perform the research.

Please see Section III of this Request for Applications (RFA) for details on the early career eligibility criteria.
