Revolutionizing Innovative, Visionary Environmental health Research (RIVER) (R35 Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required)

archived

The NIEHS Revolutionizing Innovative, Visionary Environmental health Research (RIVER) program seeks to provide support for the majority of the independent research program for outstanding investigators in the Environmental Health Sciences, giving them intellectual and administrative freedom, as well as sustained support to pursue their research in novel directions in order to achieve greater impacts. The program seeks to identify individuals, regardless of career stage, with a potential for continued innovative and impactful research and combine their existing investigator-initiated research into a single award with a duration of up to 8 years and direct costs of $600,000 and potentially up to $750,000 based on current NIEHS funding to be consolidated into the award. This funding opportunity is intended for basic experimental studies with humans that aim to understand fundamental aspects of phenomena or observable facts without specific applications towards processes or products in mind. Types of studies that fit within this funding opportunity include those using human subjects to support a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying the effects of environmental exposures on human health, including molecular epidemiological studies.
