New NCER RFA IS OPEN : Measurements and Modeling for Quantifying Air Quality and Climatic Impacts of Residential Biomass or Coal Combustion for Cooking, Heating, and Lighting
Hello, All. Monica Rodia suggested I share this announcement with you. Hello, All. My name is Cynthia McOliver, and I coordinate the Tribal Environmental Health Research Program at EPA's National Center for Environmental Research (NCER).

Please note and share with colleagues that EPA's National Center for Environmental Research (NCER) has an OPEN RFA addressing cookstove emissions and associated air quality and climactic impacts in residential settings. This research should focus on communities in the developing world and on Indian tribes and Alaska Native groups. Interested applicants have from March 19 2012- June 19, 2012 11:59:59 pm Eastern Time to apply for the solicitation.

For information on the scope of the RFA and application instructions, please visit the website: http://www.epa.gov/ncer/rfa/2012/2012_s ... light.html

A brief synopsis of the RFA is attached:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing research on quantifying, via field measurements and modeling, the improvements in climate and ambient and indoor air quality, and the subsequent impacts on health and welfare, resulting from ongoing, planned, or potential interventions in cooking, heating, or lighting practices. This research should focus on communities in the developing world and on Indian tribes and Alaska Native groups.
This solicitation provides the opportunity for the submission of applications for projects that involve human subjects research. All applications must include a Human Subjects Research Statement (HSRS, as described in Section IV.B.5.c), and if the project involves human subjects research, it will be subject to an additional level of review prior to funding decisions being made as described in Sections V.C and V.D of this solicitation.
In addition to regular awards, this solicitation includes the opportunity for early career projects. The purpose of the early career award is to fund research projects smaller in scope and budget by early career PIs. Please see Section III of this Request for Applications (RFA) for details on the early career eligibility criteria.
