FUNDING OPPORTUNITY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COMMUNICATION PARTNERSHIPS

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)recently
issued a request for proposals for an environmental justice research
program composed of community outreach, training, research, and education
efforts to reduce exposure to environmental pollutants in underserved
populations.  

The main objective of the program should be to establish linkages between
community members who are directly affected by adverse environmental
conditions and researchers and health care providers to develop research
strategies to address environmental health problems.  

Proposals must demonstrate collaboration between a research scientist, a
community primary health care provider, and a member of a community
organization.  There is close to $1.5 million available for this program.  

The application deadline is August 18, 2000.

For further information, go to:

or email Frederick Tyson at tyson2@niehs.nih.gov
