Details:
NIOSH supports exploratory and developmental research projects (R21) that address issues related to diagnostic or treatment uncertainty with respect to individuals receiving monitoring and/or treatment under subtitle B, of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111–347, as amended by Public Laws 114–113 and 116–59). Enrolled WTC responders and certified-eligible WTC survivors will be included in the research project.
NIOSH/WTC Health Program R21 grants support the early and conceptual stages of research projects that assess the feasibility of novel areas of investigation, with the potential to enhance the effectiveness of treatment and diagnostic practice. These studies may lead to breakthroughs in a particular area, or to the development of novel techniques, agents, methodologies, models, or applications that have a major clinical impact. These studies should break new ground or extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications. Applicants are expected to propose research approaches for which there is likely to be minimal or no preliminary data.
