New East Africa Funding Opportunity

HEI is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity, RFIQ 26-1: Air Pollution and Health Effects Research in East Africa. This RFIQ seeks to identify promising air pollution and health studies conducted by qualified research teams in East Africa. The East African region comprises eight countries: Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, and Uganda. 

Please note that HEI requires that all submissions be led by investigators with primary institutional affiliation in East Africa.

New HEI Energy report on community exposures from air and noise pollutants

HEI has published a new report Predictive, Source-Oriented Modeling and Measurements to Evaluate Community Exposures to Air Pollutants and Noise from Unconventional Oil and Gas Development led by Dr. Lea Hildebrandt Ruiz at The University of Texas at Austin. Hildebrandt Ruiz and colleagues developed the "TRAcking Community Exposures and Releases" (TRACER) model. The model can be used to predict the magnitude and frequency of emissions from individual UOGD sources, and when coupled with dispersion modeling, generates concentrations of chemicals in the air.

HEI publishes 3 new research reports

New Report on Air Pollution and Birth Weight

HEI’s Fellowship Program is propelling the next generation of environmental health professionals

Undergraduate programs in the environmental sciences are pivotal stepping stones in identifying educational and career trajectories for students aspiring to be environmental health professionals. Since 2023, the Health Effects Institute (HEI) has provided a unique and inspiring opportunity for rising juniors and seniors from universities across the United States, pairing students with mentors based at academic and research institutions for a 10-week hands-on research program.

HEI publishes new report on air quality trends in India

Air pollution levels in India continue to be high, significantly impacting public health and well-being. In response, over the last two decades, India's national, state, and local governments have implemented various measures to improve air quality, including the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) in 2019.
