Research Program on Statistical Survey Design and Analysis for Aquatic
Resources
http://es.epa.gov/ncerqa/rfa/aquastat01.html
OPEN: 10/30/2000 - CLOSE: 03/01/2001
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting proposals
to establish two National Research Programs on Statistical Survey Design
and Analysis by means of four-year cooperative agreements. EPA's purpose
in establishing the Programs is to provide a national capability to
identify and perform cutting-edge research in environmental statistics
that will further the application of statistics to the environmental
sciences and facilitate the professional development of future
environmental statisticians. Each Program is expected to interact
actively with ORD research programs and scientists and to identify and
explore other promising areas of research in collaboration with other
partners. Since EPA/ORD scientists are located at multiple sites
nationally, this announcement envisions that each of the two Programs
established will involve collaborative research activity at multiple,
geographically diverse sites.
Aggregate Exposure Assessment for Pesticides: Longitudinal Case Studies
http://es.epa.gov/ncerqa/rfa/aggexpos01.html
OPEN: 10/30/2000 - CLOSE: 03/07/2001
The EPA will support longitudinal case studies designed to assess
aggregate, non-occupational exposures to pesticides in defined
populations aimed at addressing important public health issues. These
issues may concern the toxicity of a particular chemical or class of
chemicals and/or relate to a health endpoint and its potential link to
pesticide exposures. Specifically, there is a need for information on
aggregate human exposures to commercial pesticide chemicals such as, but
not limited to, pyrethroid insecticides, triazine herbicides, and
residential-use pesticides. The EPA is seeking grant proposals that
describe studies for assessing pesticide exposure that incorporate
estimates of temporal and inter-individual variability.
Environmental Statistics Center
http://es.epa.gov/ncerqa/rfa/envistat01.html
OPEN: 10/30/2000 - CLOSE: 03/21/2001
Research on the environment is important for understanding and
responding to threats to human and ecosystem health posed by various
types of pollution. While we have a good understanding of many of the
components that make up the environment, we have much less knowledge
about the interactions between components. Such an understanding is
imperative for finding acceptable responses to threats to the
environment. Research to aid in recognizing and responding to these
threats requires the use of statistics, from sampling and data
collection to analysis and modeling. This announcement invites proposals
for statistical research that improves the methodology or theory of
statistics relevant to environmental research.
Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms (NOAA, NSF, ONR, NASA)
http://es.epa.gov/ncerqa/rfa/ecohab01.html
OPEN: 10/30/2000 - CLOSE: 01/31/2001
The purpose of this notice is to advise the public that the
participating agencies are soliciting research proposals of up to 3
years duration, and depending on appropriations, up to 5 years for
multidisciplinary regional studies, for the Ecology and Oceanography of
Harmful Algal Blooms (ECOHAB) program. This program provides support for
research on algal species whose populations may cause or result in
deleterious effects on ecosystems and human health. Studies of the
causes of such blooms, their detection, effects, mitigation, and control
in U.S. coastal waters, are solicited. This document details the
requirements for applications for research support that will be
considered by the Federal research partnership.
