Health and Extreme Weather Solutions-Focused Research Hubs (U54 - Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for translational research hubs focused on the health impacts of extreme weather and cumulative exposures. The hubs will conduct research, capacity building, and community/public health translation, and will be led by a multidisciplinary team of investigators with non-academic partners. The research can be situated at different nodes on the translational research continuum, spanning from fundamental to implementation research, and should clearly inform pathways to support implementation, scalability, and measurable public health impact. • The hubs will focus on regionally relevant topics related to the health impacts of extreme weather and cumulative exposures. • The hubs will be led by a multidisciplinary team of investigators with non-academic partners. • The research will be situated at different nodes on the translational research continuum. • The hubs will be expected to collaborate with the HEW Research Coordination and Data Center(s) and other members of the HEW Community of Practice. • The NOFO will utilize the U54 activity code, which supports specialized centers that function as regional resources for targeted research initiatives.
