Winter 2010 Research AgendaIntroduction
This page contains information on the Winter 2010 Research Agenda of the Health Effects Institute. We thank you for your interest in HEI and its research program. The area of research for which the Institute is requesting applications this Fall are described below. Hyperlinks to download the RFA booklet and application forms can be found at the bottom of this page.
Request for Applications 10-1. Cardiovascular Effects of Exposure to Low Levels of Ozone in the Presence or Absence of Other Ambient Pollutants
Two types of studies are sought to evaluate cardiovascular and respiratory effects in healthy human volunteers, aged 55 and above. In Phase 1, volunteers will be exposed to ozone alone, at concentrations between 60 and 100 ppb, in a controlled laboratory setting. In Phase 2, volunteers will be exposed to real-world ambient air pollution at sites with ozone concentrations comparable to those used in Phase 1. Interested scientists may apply for Phase 1, Phase 2, or both.
For more information please contact Dr. Geoffrey Sunshine (+1 617 488 2303) or Dr. Maria Costantini (+1 617 488 2302). This request is now closed.
