    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a funding opportunity to support research on the mechanistic understanding of chemical threat agents that affect pulmonary and ocular health through the CCRP Initiative. This research aims to identify the biological pathways and potential molecular targets for mitigating acute and chronic adverse health effects due to exposure to identified Chemicals of Concern (CoC). Applications are invited for projects using diverse models, focusing on both pulmonary and ocular toxicities, within a maximum budget of $300,000 per year over a three-year project period. The deadline for applications is set for September 24, 2026, with an earliest start date for projects in March 2025. The NOFO emphasizes the importance of studying multiple toxicants, various time points, and incorporating a range of biological variables. Notably, the initiative does not approve clinical trials applications and requires adherence to strict application guidelines to ensure safety during research. Overall, this funding aims to enhance medical countermeasure development in response to high-consequence public health threats linked to toxic chemical releases.
