Opportunity Summary:
The Outstanding New Environmental Scientist (ONES) Award (R01) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity designed to help exceptionally promising Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) establish independent research careers in Environmental Health Sciences. The program focuses on identifying new investigators who are likely to make a long-term commitment to this field and giving them a meaningful boost as they launch an innovative research program. At its core, the award supports research that improves understanding of how environmental exposures affect human health, with an emphasis on scientifically strong, creative projects that can form the foundation of a sustained career trajectory in environmental health research.
This opportunity was released as a discretionary grant using the NIH R01 research project grant mechanism under Funding Opportunity Number RFA-ES-13-014, listed within the Environment/Health funding activity category. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.113 (Environmental Health). The funding announcement was posted on November 25, 2013, with an original (and final) application due date of February 28, 2014, and it was archived on March 31, 2014. While the dates indicate this particular announcement is no longer open, the details capture the structure and intent of the ONES program as it was offered.
In terms of expected support, NIH anticipated making about five awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $3,000,000. The stated award ceiling was $250,000. The announcement specifies that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to commit institutional matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was broad across U.S.-based research organizations but still clearly defined. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) IRS status (with the nonprofit categories specified as other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity also explicitly recognized and included a range of mission-driven and federally designated institution types, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American, Native American, and Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs); Hispanic-Serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). At the same time, it set firm restrictions on foreign involvement: non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) were not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) were not allowed.
