National Institutes of Health (NIH)
-
Galvanizing Health Equity through Novel and Diverse Educational Resources (GENDER) Initiative
This program will support educational activities that complement/enhance the training of a diverse workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs. Specifically, this FOA will support the development of short courses, training modules, curricula, and other educational activities to enhance knowledge of sex and gender influences on health and disease among scientists, clinicians, and health professionals, and other stakeholders to accelerate the translation of that knowledge into practice.
Assessing and Addressing Community Exposures to Environmental Contaminants
This solicitation encourages multidisciplinary projects to investigate the potential health risks of environmental exposures of concern to a community and to develop and implement an environmental public health action plan based on research findings. Projects supported under this program will employ community-engaged research methods to conduct research and to translate research findings into public health action.
