Funding Opportunity Number: RFA-ES-13-010 Opportunity Category: DiscretionaryFunding Instrument Type: GrantCategory of Funding Activity: EducationEnvironmentHealthCFDA Number: 93.143Eligible Applicants Public and State controlled institutions of higher educationPrivate institutions of higher educationOthers (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)Agency Name: HHS-NIH11Closing Date: Nov 01, 2013Award Ceiling: $150,000Expected Number of Awards: Creation Date: Jul 24, 2013Funding Opportunity Description: Contaminants in the environment are affected by complex biological, geological and chemical processes that have implications for both remediation effectiveness as well as exposure risk to humans. By understanding the mechanisms of these complex interactions, we are better equipped to optimize remediation strategies and, therefore, improve science-based decision making for site management, priority-setting, and remedy selection. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will support problem-solving research on the mechanisms of biogeochemical interactions affecting bioavailability in the context of in situ remediation of contaminated soil, sediment, surface water, or groundwater.
