CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT
EPA and the National Institute of Environmental Health
Sciences (NIEHS)
are calling for applications from nonprofit institutions to establish up to six centers for research on the causes and of health concerns in children that could be related to environmental
exposures.
Health impacts from environmental contaminants can be
particularly
detrimental for children as their nervous systems are
still developing.
Specific areas identified for research include respiratory
diseases,
neurodevelopment and neurobehavior, childhood cancers,
birth defects and
other conditions. These research centers will develop
innovative
strategies to measure environmental exposures in children
and will
conduct research to reduce hazardous exposures and their
adverse health
effects. An important goal of this project is to translate
research
findings into input for public policy, community needs
and information
for the health care community and general public. This
Request for
Applications (RFA) builds upon the work completed by
12 EPA/NIEHS
Centers for Children's Environmental Health and Disease
Prevention
Research established in 1998 and 2002. The RFA is also
a part of EPA's
Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program. Applications
are due by May
16, 2003. For more information, see:

Community Toolbox for Children's Environmental
Health.
Applications for capacity building grants for community
groups working on childhood lead poisoning and children's
environmental health are now available. Applications
for the first round of funding are due February 28,
2003. Information and full application available at
www.communitytoolbox.org,
or by calling (415-614-9533).
