Description
- Purpose. The National Institute of Environmental Health
Sciences invites applications that will (1) determine which physical or
chemical characteristic of an engineered nanomaterial (ENM), or cluster
of characteristics, is integral to ENM-molecular interactions in a
cellular process or organ system and (2) relate these findings to
potential health effects. NIEHS recognizes that three types of
activities need to converge to accomplish this research agenda. The
first activity should focus on a detailed understanding of how physical
and chemical characteristics of ENMs influence their molecular
interactions at the cellular level, while the second activity should
determine how the physical and chemical characteristics critical to
that interaction are associated with any observed physiological or
pathobiological events. The third activity will capitalize on these
multidisciplinary efforts through integration of biochemical,
molecular, and physiological mechanisms to expand traditional hazard
identification and health risk assessment. An extraordinary level of
synergy, integration, and potential for advancement of ENM hazard
identification and risk assessment is expected. Proposals responsive to
this FOA should employ three projects that will examine an overarching
research theme through mechanistic studies and in vitro, ex vivo, and
in vivo model systems. Grants awarded under this FOA will become part
of a consortium that will collaboratively manage the research conducted
through the individual grants. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will
utilize the U19 grant mechanism Funds Available and Anticipated Number
of Awards. The total amount of funding to be committed to this program
is $5 million (total costs) per year for 5 years.
