From the Health Effects Institute
(
healtheffects.org)... a new research funding opportunity has been issued on the health
effects of exposure to traffic-related air pollution, noise, and their interactions with
socio-economic status... I received the following email text from HEI...
We are very happy to announce that the RFA is now issued
https://www.healtheffects.org/system/files/RFA17-1-Traffic-and-Health.pdf
HEI is seeking to fund health studies to assess adverse health effects of short and/or
long term exposure to traffic-related air pollution. The studies should consider spatially
correlated factors that may either confound or modify the health effects of
traffic-related air pollution, most notably, traffic noise, socioeconomic status, and
factors related to the built environment, such as presence of green space. The RFA
provides up to 4 years of funding for up to 5 studies with a funding cap of $1,000,000
each.
Interested applicants should submit a Preliminary Application by March 1, 2017. Full
applications (by invitation only) should be submitted no later than July 15, 2017.
