Opportunity Summary:
The Outstanding New Environmental Scientist (ONES) Award (R01) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant opportunity designed to help exceptional Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) establish themselves as independent researchers in Environmental Health Sciences. The program is aimed at investigators who are planning a long-term research career in this field, and it specifically supports the launch of an innovative research program that advances understanding of how environmental exposures affect human health. In practical terms, the opportunity is positioned as a career-building research award: it is meant to identify high-potential new scientists and give them a strong runway to build a sustained, impactful research portfolio centered on exposure-related health outcomes.
This funding opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number RFA-ES-15-003 and is tied to the Environmental Health CFDA number 93.113. The funding instrument is an NIH research project grant (R01), which typically supports a defined scientific project and provides flexibility for investigators to develop and pursue a coherent research direction. The total estimated funding associated with the opportunity is $3,000,000, and the award ceiling is $475,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not expected to commit institutional or third-party matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations that can support research, with an emphasis on higher education and nonprofit research settings. Eligible applicants include private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) IRS status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). The opportunity also explicitly includes a range of institution types often emphasized in federal capacity-building and inclusion efforts, such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). Non-U.S. (foreign) institutions and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply; however, foreign components are allowed if they meet the NIH definition in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, which generally means that certain foreign activities can be included when they are integral to the project and appropriately justified, even though the applicant organization must be U.S.-based.
Key dates indicate this was a time-limited, archived opportunity. It was posted and created on October 27, 2014, with an original and current closing date of February 27, 2015, and it was archived on March 30, 2015. For applicants and institutional staff seeking the full program announcement details (including specific scientific scope, review criteria, and application instructions), the opportunity referenced an NIH grants webpage, and technical access or linking issues were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact.
