Opportunity Summary:
The Outstanding New Environmental Scientist Award (ONES) (R01) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) designed to help exceptionally promising early stage investigators move quickly into independent research careers. The central aim is to identify and attract outstanding new environmental health scientists and give them the support needed to launch an innovative, long-term research program aligned with the NIEHS mission. Projects are expected to focus on how environmental exposures interact with human biology, contribute to human pathophysiology, and ultimately influence or cause human disease. In practical terms, the award is meant to accelerate the transition from mentored work to running an independent research direction, with an emphasis on impactful ideas in environmental health.
This opportunity uses the standard NIH Research Project Grant mechanism (R01). It is specifically intended for Early Stage Investigators, meaning applicants should be at the beginning of their independent careers and positioned to establish themselves as independent principal investigators. The program is structured to provide substantial early funding when new labs and research programs often face the steepest ramp-up costs, while still supporting a full multi-year research plan.
Budget and project period details are clearly defined. Applicants may request up to $400,000 per year in direct costs for years 1 and 2, and up to $275,000 per year in direct costs for years 3 through 5, for a total project period of up to 5 years. The announcement anticipated making about 6 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,600,000 across those awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide institutional or other matching funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility is broad and includes many common research-performing organizations. Eligible applicants include public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The eligibility language also explicitly includes several institution types often highlighted in federal funding announcements, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). The listing suggests the program is open to a wide range of organizations capable of supporting independent research programs in environmental health.
Administrative details indicate this was a discretionary grant opportunity in the environment and health activity category, cataloged under CFDA number 93.113 (Environmental Health). The funding opportunity number is RFA-ES-10-004, with the opportunity posted on June 18, 2010, and an original (and final) application closing date of October 29, 2010; it was archived on November 29, 2010. Additional information was provided through the NIH Grants Guide posting (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-ES-10-004.html).
