Exposure Biology Program
RFA-ES-06-011 – Environmental Sensors for Personal Exposure Assessment (U01)
Development of new technologies for measuring human contact exposure and internal dose to priority environmental chemical/biological agents (e.g., airborne particulates, reactive gases, microbial toxins, solvents, pesticides, and mold/microbial toxins) with temporal and spatial resolution.
RFA-ES-06-012 – Biological Response Indicators of Environmental Stress Centers (U54)
Development of Centers that integrate biological response indicators with the development of field deployable biosensors to track exposures from point of contact to biological response.
RFA-ES-06-013 – Biological Response Indicators of Environmental Stress (U01)
Development of biological response indicators reflecting components of key physiologic and pathogenic processes, such as oxidative stress, immune response and inflammation, epigenetics, DNA damage and apoptosis, endocrine disruption, and defects in drug metabolizing enzymes.
RFA-CA-07-032 – Improved Measures of Diet and Physical Activity for the Genes and Environment Initiative (GEI) (U01)
Development of new technologies for measuring dietary/supplement intake and measures of physical activity using hand-held sensors, scanners or other devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), imaging detection software, or wireless technology, and new technologies for measuring motion simultaneously with physiologic indicators of response (heart rate, respiration) with temporal and spatial resolution.
RFA-DA-07-005 – Field-Deployable Tools for Quantifying Exposures to Psychosocial Stress and to Addictive Substances for Studies of Health and Disease (U01)
Development of new technologies for measuring exposure to psychosocial stress and addictive substances usage including the use of hand-held devices for automated self-report and recall, innovative software, wireless technology, or other technology.
