| Smart Growth Implementation Assistance 2009 Request for Applications EPA is seeking applications for technical assistance from communities that want to incorporate smart growth in their future development to meet environmental and other community goals. Eligible entities are tribal, local, regional, and state governments, and nonprofit organizations that have a demonstrated partnership with a governmental entity.

| Novel Approaches to Improving Air Pollution Emissions Information The EPA's Office of Research and Development, National Center for Environmental Research, in cooperation with the EPA Clean Air Research Program, announces an extramural funding competition supporting research into the development and improvement of air pollution emission inventories. EPA is interested in supporting research that will advance scientific understanding leading to improvements in air pollution emissions information since emission inventories are relied on both to develop effective control strategies and reliable information about air quality trends for accountability, and to help produce accurate air quality forecasts. This solicitation seeks to support research that will build on past improvements and strengthen the understanding of air pollution sources and how they affect current and near-term future air quality. Development of better emissions inventories is an iterative process requiring work with atmospheric measurements, source characterizations, and numerical modeling analyses; hence, all these techniques have been used to improve emission inventories.

| NIH and CDC Research to Action: Assessing and Addressing Community Exposures to Environmental Contaminants (R21) This funding opportunity solicits applications designed to collect information on community exposures to environmental or occupational agents or exposure-related diseases and use this new information to support environmental public health action. Research will focus on environmental or occupational agents known or strongly suspected to be a significant environmental public health issue by community members but lacking basic information on exposure levels, sources of exposure, or potential health effects. An education, outreach, prevention or intervention program(s) also must be developed to translate and disseminate research findings to relevant audiences (e.g., scientists, community members, healthcare professionals, and policymakers) to inform them about the potential health burden(s) associated with environmental or occupational agents in their community, with the ultimate goal of supporting actions that will lead to the prevention or reduction of harmful environmental/occupational exposures and improve human health. Evaluation will be a central component of all projects. Letters of Intent Receipt Date: March 1, 2009. Application Deadline: April 1, 2009 Read more... |

| Improving Diet and Physical Activity Assessment: National Institute on Aging, in conjunction with several other NIH agencies Diet and physical activity are lifestyle and behavioral factors that play a role in the etiology and prevention of many chronic diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease. Both also play roles in preventing overweight/obesity and in maintaining weight loss. Therefore, diet and physical activity are assessed for both surveillance and epidemiologic/clinical research purposes. The measurement of usual dietary intake or physical activity over varying time periods or in the past, by necessity, has relied on self-report instruments. Such subjective reporting instruments are cognitively difficult for respondents, and are prone to considerable measurement errors that may vary among population subgroups and depend on the time frame considered and the characteristics of the respondents. Letters of Intent Receipt Dates (new applications): January 5, 2007; September 5, 2007; May 5, 2008; January 5, 2009. Letters of Intent Receipt Dates (renewal, resubmission, and revised applications): February 5, 2007; October 5, 2007; June 5, 2008; February 5, 2009. |
