The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) STAR program is offering a grant to support research on improving cumulative risk assessments by considering nonchemical stressors. This grant aims to develop analytical methods that can integrate diverse types of data and evaluate the combined impacts of nonchemical and chemical stressors on community health. Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged to apply to address the challenge of assessing risks from various environmental exposures. The EPA emphasizes the importance of including multiple stressors and exposure routes in comprehensive risk assessments. Applications must focus on enhancing methods to analyze and understand the cumulative effects of different stressors for more effective risk assessment.

| Description: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications from interdisciplinary teams to address research needs that currently limit the ability to conduct cumulative risk assessments. Exposure to different combinations of environmental stressors can contribute to increased risk for negative health consequences. It has become clear that cumulative risk assessments should include both chemical and nonchemical stressors, exposures from multiple routes, and factors that differentially affect exposure or toxicity to communities. This RFA is focusing on two challenges that exist in conducting cumulative risk assessments: (a) STAR-E1: The development of statistical and other analytical techniques that will enable the analysis of disparate types of data, and (b) STAR-E2: The evaluation of the combined effects of nonchemical and chemical stressors. |
