New U.S. research grants available for nanotoxicity research |
|
(Nanowerk News) The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has announced a funding opportunity for a nanotoxicity research grant titled "Manufactured Nanomaterials: Physico-chemical Principles of Biocompatibility and Toxicity (R01)" with the following key dates:
|
- Letters of Intent Receipt Date: December 13, 2006
- Application Receipt Date: January 12, 2007
- Peer Review Date: April-May, 2007
- Council Review Date: September, 2007
- Earliest Anticipated Start Date: September, 2007
