| | | | A major focus of HERCULES is to advance the science of the exposome (the comprehensive analysis of environmental exposures over a lifetime); however, the Pilot Project Program supports any research in the environmental health sciences that aligns with the mission of NIEHS. The primary purpose of the Pilot Project Program is to position investigators to apply for R-level NIEHS funding. Pilot awards are open to all investigators at Emory and the Emory-Georgia Tech Department of Biomedical Engineering who are eligible to serve as Principal Investigators on NIH R-level grant applications. Information Session held on November 12, 11 am-12 pm, Emory Claudia Nance Rollins 6001. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | This award supports an independent investigator conducting high priority pancreatic cancer research that is poised for important translational next steps to help move scientific discovery to application in patients. Proposed research should aim to identify novel targets and approaches to the treatment of pancreatic cancer or understand and circumvent treatment resistance. Please see FAQs or RFA for research areas of interest. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | Prior research suggests that rural and minority communities participate in research at lower rates. While rural and minority populations are often cited as being underrepresented in research, population-based studies on health research participation have not been conducted. This study used questions added to the 2015 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to understand factors associated with 1) health research participation, 2) opportunities to participate in health research, and 3) willingness to participate in health research from a representative sample (n=5,256) of adults in Arkansas. | | | | Read More | | |
