Opportunity Summary:
The Outstanding New Environmental Scientist Award (ONES) (R01) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically aligned with the mission of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). Its main goal is to identify and support exceptional scientists who are still in the early, formative part of their research careers and who plan to make a long-term commitment to environmental health research. The award is designed to help these investigators launch innovative, independent research programs that connect environmental exposures to human biology and to the development or progression of disease. In practical terms, the program is aimed at research that explains how environmental factors influence human pathophysiology and ultimately contribute to human disease, with an emphasis on building a strong foundation for a sustained research trajectory.
This funding opportunity uses the standard NIH Research Project Grant mechanism, the R01, and it is specifically intended for Early Stage Investigators. That means it is geared toward researchers who are establishing independence and are ready to lead a substantial project rather than working primarily under a senior investigator. The expectation is that ONES awardees will use the support not only to complete a defined research project, but also to build momentum for a broader and longer-term research agenda in environmental health science consistent with NIEHS priorities.
For the funding level, NIEHS indicated an intention (for FY2010) to commit up to 2.4 million dollars in direct costs, corresponding to an estimated 3.6 million dollars in total costs, to support an anticipated six new grants. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically lowers barriers for applicants by allowing the proposed work to be supported through the grant budget without a required institutional financial contribution.
In terms of eligibility, the announcement covers a broad range of applicant organizations, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). The eligibility language also highlights several categories of institutions that are explicitly included, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions. This framing signals an openness to applications from diverse institutional settings and encourages participation from organizations that serve populations historically underrepresented in biomedical research.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number RFA-ES-09-007, falls under the Environment/Health activity category, and is associated with CFDA number 93.113 (Environmental Health).
