Description

The mission of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
is to reduce the burden of human illness and dysfunction from environmental
exposures.  The NIEHS achieves its mission through multidisciplinary
biomedical research programs, prevention and intervention efforts, and
communication strategies that encompass training, education, technology
transfer, and community outreach.  An important element of the NIEHS mission
is to develop the research capacity of minority-serving institutions that have
research scientists who are committed to understanding the impact of
environmental exposures on human health.  To address this need, the NIEHS has
developed a Thematic Program Project Grant (S11) that focuses on establishing
research partnerships between investigators at Research Intensive Universities
(RIUs) with significant biomedical health sciences research and at Minority
Serving Institutions (MSIs) with graduate and/or professional schools
conferring doctoral degrees.  MSIs for the purposes of this solicitation are
academic institutions, either medical or non-medical, that have a minority
enrollment greater than 50 percent.  This includes Historically Black Colleges
and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribal
Colleges and Universities.  The purpose of this grant is to establish a
research infrastructure and a hypothesis-driven research program at a Minority
Serving Institute that develops a cadre of investigators that will
successfully compete for Research Project Grant (RPG) support.
