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.
