The Pilot Project Program provides limited, short-term funding to encourage innovation, creativity, and multidisciplinary collaborations, to attract new scientists to our center, and to address gaps in our knowledge about lifestage vulnerability to environmental exposures.
Release Date: December 12, 2024; Application Due Date: January 19, 2025.
The Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease (M-LEEaD) Center announces support for project funding for small, quickly executed projects for New Investigators (NI) or Early Stage Investigators (ESI) related to environmental health sciences (EHS) research, especially those that aim to define, explain, or mitigate impacts of environmental exposures during vulnerable stages of life. M-LEEaD is a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Core Center, which seeks to improve the understanding of the contribution of environmental exposures toward the etiology of chronic diseases and conditions like asthma, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic syndrome and prematurity.
Applications are being accepted through January 19, 2025. Further information is available in the M-LEEaD Director’s Fund Request for Applications.
