Excerpt
Excerpt: The NIEHS Division of Extramural Research and Training (DERT), in collaboration with the National Toxicology Program (NTP), initiated a unique grants program in 1997 that funds investigator initiated research to provide data to aid in defining the mechanism of action of agents under study by the NTP. This program uses the NIH R03 Small Grant mechanism to encourage investigator initiated hypothesis-driven investigations utilizing animals/tissues/cells from animals undergoing the NTP two-year cancer bioassay or shorter toxicologic characterizations. Applications are requested by a specific Request for Applications (RFA) with specific application deadlines and research objectives. Funding is for one or two years at $50,000 direct costs per year.
