Fall 2006 Research AgendaIntroduction
This page contains information on the Fall 2006 Research Agenda of the Health Effects Institute. We thank you for your interest in HEI and its research program. The areas of research for which the Institute is requesting applications at this time are described below. Hyperlinks to download the RFA booklet can be found at the bottom of this page.
Request for Applications 06-3: Walter A. Rosenblith New Investigator Award
The purpose of this award is to bring new, creative investigators into active research on the health effects of air pollution. It provides three years of funding for a small project relevant to HEI’s research interests to a new investigator with outstanding promise at the Assistant Professor or equivalent level. For information on HEI’s current research priorities, applicants should consult HEI’s current Strategic Plan
.
HEI expects to provide one or more awards from this RFA on an annual basis. The evaluation process for these applications will consider the qualifications and background of the applicant, the quality and relevance of the research proposal, and the research environment of the applicant.
Letters of Intent for RFA 06-3 are due on December 1, 2006; applications are due on January 9, 2007, or must be sent by overnight air delivery service postmarked by that date. Twenty-five copies of each application are needed for HEI’s review process. For eligibility criteria please click here.

Request for Preliminary Applications 06-4: Health Effects of Air Pollution
Request for Preliminary Applications 06-4 provides an application mechanism for investigators whose area of interest falls outside the topics targeted in other current research requests, but is relevant to HEI’s current priorities. For information on HEI’s current research priorities, applicants should consult HEI’s current Strategic Plan
Preliminary applications to RFPA 06-4 may be submitted at any time, and will be discussed at the next scheduled Research Committee meeting. Deadlines for receiving preliminary applications for consideration at specific meetings are January 31, 2007; April 18, 2007; and October 12, 2007. Please check this page for future deadlines.

Request for Short Applications 06-5: Pilot Studies for Junior Investigators on the Health Effects of Air Pollution
Request for Short Applications 06-5 provides a mechanism for junior investigators whose area of interest is consistent with the mission of HEI to apply for pilot study funds through an expedited mechanism. Such pilot studies are intended to help junior investigators generate data in support of an application for a full study. HEI is interested in receiving applications on novel and important aspects of health effects of air pollutants, particularly those derived from motor vehicle emissions. For information on HEI’s current research priorities, applicants should consult HEI’s current Strategic Plan
Applications to RFSA 06-5 may be submitted at any time and will be discussed at the next scheduled Research Committee meeting.
