The UK Center for Appalachian Research in Environmental Sciences (UK-CARES) is now accepting applications for Pilot Projects in two categories.
The mission of UK-CARES is to enhance research capacity focused on the major environmental health impacts (e.g., air and water contaminants, environmental disasters, emerging environmental health issues such as climate and health) that have been implicated in chronic diseases such as heart and lung disease, cancer, diabetes, and child health and early life exposures.
This mission is accomplished by promoting the interactions and expanding the critical mass of investigators and citizen scientists with expertise and experience in transdisciplinary, translational environmental health research on the UK campus and in Appalachian communities (targeted regions: Big Sandy, Cumberland Valley, Kentucky River).
Letters of Intent are due by February 9th.
