The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is soliciting proposals for the Outstanding New Environmental Scientist Award (ONES) (R01).
Only one application per school or college within a university will be accepted. For example, within a university, one application can be submitted from each of the schools of medicine, public health, arts and sciences, etc.
Potential applicants should be sure to review the NIEHS guidelines for this program at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-ES-13-014.html
The Outstanding New Environmental Scientist (ONES) Award is intended to identify the most talented Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) who intend to make a long-term commitment to research in the Environmental Health Sciences and assist them in launching an innovative research program focused on the understanding of environmental exposure effects on people’s health.
For most applications, the budget for direct costs will be limited to $250,000 per year, plus the portion of the additional $250,000 budget for career enhancement which distributed over a five year award period which is requested for that budgetary year. Note: the $250,000 career enhancement budget will be distributed over a 5-year period but does not have to be distributed evenly across each year. With strong justification, research projects which have inherently higher costs may request direct costs of up to $400,000 per year, plus career enhancement. In no year may the total direct cost budget (research plus career enhancement) exceed $475,000 per year.
Campus applications should be sent in one PDF copy via email to ltdsubs@berkeley.edu by 5:00pm on January 3, 2014.
