Colleagues, this is an announcement about a pilot research project from NC State's CHHE. For more information, contact Jane Hoppins at the address in the signature. Some of you may be interested in the human dimensions of this research; I can particularly see social scientists contributing to computational approaches. These often fail if assumptions about human behavior are wrong. I imagine that this pilot would be an interdisciplinary project, and I encourage you to partner with colleagues across campus.
------------------------------
The NC State University Center for Human Heath and the Environment (CHHE) is pleased to announce its request for pilot project proposals for 2013.Applications will be due on November 15, 2013. Please make your research faculty aware of this opportunity. We are hoping for proposals from across the NCSU campus.
The CHHE aims to enhance and integrate basic and translational research from molecules to cells to animal models to human populations using cutting-edge technologies and computational approaches to understand the impacts of environmental exposures/factors on human health. Individual awards will range upwards to $25,000 for one year. The CHHE expects to fund four to five proposals. To learn more go to chhe.research.ncsu.edu.
This Pilot Project Program has been made possible by the contribution of funds from the Vice Chancellor for Research, Innovation & Economic Development and the Provost.
Thanks.
