NOAA OCEANS AND HUMAN HEALTH INITIATIVE
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity being made available through the External Research Grants Program of NOAA’s new Oceans and Human Health Initiative (OHHI). OHHI was formally authorized by the Oceans and Human Health Act (OHHA) that was passed by Congress December 8, 2004. The External Research Grants Program is the largest of several OHHI programs that are designed to enhance understanding of the role of the oceans in human health, with the goal of providing useful research and predictive information to NOAA, public health officials, and natural resource managers. The OHHA defines oceans to include the Great Lakes.
This funding opportunity is intended to engage the non-federal research community in conducting research – across the physical, chemical, biological, medical, public health, oceanographic and social sciences – on priority issues for OHHI. The Federal Register Notice (FRN) that will officially announce the OHHI External Research Grants Program funding opportunity is available online.
This Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) is available through the NOAA Web sites: Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research and NOAA Oceans and Human Health Initiative (OHHI) at the NOAA Office of Global Programs . Additional background information on NOAA’s OHHI and OHHI’s External Research Grants Program is available on those same two Web sites.
