AI Contract Overview
This contract is a limited competition opportunity under the Superfund Hazardous Substance Research and Training Program (P42 Clinical Trial Optional), administered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). It is specifically designated for accredited higher education institutions, as mandated by Section 311(a)(3) of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) and defined in the Higher Education Act. While only these institutions may apply directly, the NIEHS encourages subcontracting with a broad range of organizations, including domestic and foreign entities, public or private sectors, such as hospitals, laboratories, faith-based organizations, state and local government units, and certain federal agencies, to carry out research components. The program focuses on research related to hazardous substances, including their detection, assessment, evaluation, treatment, and management at contaminated sites. Potential subcontractors may also include hazardous waste generators and facility owners and operators involved in managing hazardous substances. The solicitation reflects NIEHS’s commitment to fostering collaborative, cross-sector partnerships to address environmental health challenges linked to Superfund sites. Contact for this opportunity is Dr. Danielle Carlin at NIEHS, ensuring applicants can seek guidance on submission and research scope.

Full Description
Per NIEHS legislative authority, ONLY Higher Education Institutions may apply to this P42 NOFO. Section 311(a)(3) of SARA limits recipients of awards to "accredited institutions of higher education," which are defined in the Higher Education Act, 20 USC (annotated) 3381. However, applicants are permitted under the law, and encouraged by NIEHS, to subcontract as appropriate with organizations domestic or foreign, public or private (such as universities, colleges, hospitals, laboratories, faith-based organizations, units of State and local governments, and eligible agencies of the Federal Government) as necessary to conduct portions of the research. Examples of other organizations may include generators of hazardous wastes; persons involved in the detection, assessment, evaluation, and treatment of hazardous substances; owners and operators of facilities at which hazardous substances are located; and/or State and local governments.
