Fall 2008 Research AgendaIntroduction
This page contains information on the Fall 2008 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 this Fall are described below.

Request for Applications 08-1. Relationship of Indoor, Outdoor and Personal Air (RIOPA): Further analyses of the RIOPA study data
RFA 08-1 seeks proposals for studies that will take advantage of previously collected data on the concentrations of volatile organic compounds, carbonyls, and PM2.5 in indoor, outdoor, and personal air for subjects living in three urban centers with different pollution sources and weather. These data can be accessed on a publicly available web-based relational database. A total of $300,000 is available under this RFA; HEI hopes to fund 3-5 studies.
For more information please contact Dr. Debra Kaden (+1 617 488 2304). This RFA is now closed.
Request for Applications 08-2. 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 this year and to continue the RFA for this award on an annual basis.
