The Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology (CEET) is currently accepting applications for the following pilot projects:

Opportunity Award - Climate Change and Human Health:

As weather-related events, such as floods, heat waves, hurricanes, tornados, and forest fires become more extreme, the risk to human health grows, exacerbating existing physical and mental health conditions, threatening our water and food security, and increasing the risk of zoonotic disease. Applications can address, but are not limited to the following:

• Basic science proposals on stress response
• Climate modeling and health outcomes
• Community outreach and susceptibility
• Environmental exposures exacerbated by climate change

Applicants can request up to $50,000 for one year. No salary support for the faculty member is allowable. Any standing or research faculty from any Penn School may apply.

Applications related to the CEET Thematic Areas are currently being accepted:

• Air Pollution and Lung Health
