Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering a discretionary research grant opportunity under its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program focused on how climate change and broader global environmental change may influence allergic airway disease. The central goal is to fund research that explains how shifting climate conditions could affect the development and severity of respiratory allergic illnesses, particularly those triggered by exposure to pollen, mold, and other plant-derived allergens. The announcement notes that some funded projects may involve or relate to geospatial information, which suggests applicants may be expected to incorporate spatial data, mapping, or location-based environmental exposure analysis where appropriate.
This opportunity is listed as “Climate Change and Allergic Airway Disease†(Funding Opportunity Number: EPA G2008 STAR I1) and falls under the environmental funding activity category. EPA expects to make about two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1.8 million. Individual awards can be as large as $900,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which can lower barriers for universities and public-sector research groups that might not have flexible matching funds.
A wide range of organizations are eligible to apply, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, along with other applicant types as described in the full announcement. Because the eligibility section points applicants to Section III for details, prospective applicants would need to confirm any additional constraints there, such as whether certain applicant categories must meet specific conditions or whether collaborations and subawards are handled in particular ways.
The opportunity timeline indicates it was posted on July 2, 2008, with an original closing date of October 1, 2008, later extended to October 22, 2008. The notice emphasizes checking the full announcement (especially Section IV) for submission methods and exact due dates, implying that there may be specific formatting, portal submission steps, or deadline-time rules that matter. The archive date is listed as November 21, 2008, meaning it is an older, closed opportunity, but the summary still reflects the program’s research focus and structure as it was announced.
For applicants or researchers who cannot access the complete announcement electronically, the EPA provided a point of contact: Barbara Glenn at (202) 343-9721. The full announcement is also referenced via an “Additional Information Link†titled “Climate Change and Allergic Airway Disease,†which would normally contain the detailed research topics of interest, application components, evaluation criteria, reporting expectations, and any special terms related to data management or geospatial information use.
