Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA ES 23 001
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is soliciting applications for the continuation of its Superfund Hazardous Substance Research and Training Program, commonly called the Superfund Research Program (SRP) Centers. This is a limited-competition funding opportunity (RFA-ES-23-001) using the P42 center grant mechanism, with clinical trials listed as optional. The program is designed to fund large, integrated research centers that tackle real-world hazardous substance problems in a practical, solution-oriented way rather than isolated, single-project studies.
Funded SRP Centers are expected to bring together multiple, connected research projects that span both biomedical sciences and environmental science and engineering. The intent is to support teams that can connect environmental contamination and exposure with human health outcomes, while also developing and testing tools and technologies that detect contaminants, assess risk, and reduce harm. The required center structure includes several supporting "cores" that provide shared functions across projects. These cores cover administration (and explicitly include research translation), data management and analysis, community engagement, research experience and training coordination, and other research support functions that help the center operate as an integrated program rather than a collection of independent labs.
The scientific scope is grounded directly in the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, and it emphasizes four broad areas: developing advanced techniques to detect, assess, and evaluate how hazardous substances affect human health; improving methods to assess the risks hazardous substances pose to people; creating methods and technologies to detect hazardous substances in the environment; and advancing fundamental biological, chemical, and physical approaches to reduce both the amount and the toxicity of hazardous substances. In practice, this framing encourages proposals that connect the full chain from environmental detection and characterization, to exposure and health effects, to mitigation or remediation strategies, while also ensuring that findings are translated to stakeholders who can use them.
Eligibility is focused on higher education institutions and similar organizations. Public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education are eligible, along with other eligible applicant types specified in the notice. The opportunity explicitly highlights that certain institution types are included among eligible applicants, such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). Foreign institutions (non-U.S. entities) are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible. However, foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed, meaning U.S.-led centers may include certain international collaborations when they meet NIH requirements.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is a discretionary grant in the environment, health, and education-related categories, listed under CFDA 93.143. The original closing date shown is 2023-10-02, and the listed award ceiling is $2,000,000. The notice also indicates expected awards, though the specific number is not provided in the excerpt. Overall, the grant is intended to build and sustain multidisciplinary centers that can generate actionable science, support training and research experiences, manage and analyze complex data streams, and engage communities impacted by hazardous substances, all while advancing the Superfund mission of understanding and reducing risks from environmental contamination.Apply for RFA ES 23 001
