Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA ES 18 001
The Outstanding New Environmental Scientist (ONES) Award (R01 Clinical Trial Optional) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity designed to accelerate the careers of exceptional Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) who are committed to building long-term research programs in Environmental Health Sciences. The central purpose of the award is to help promising new investigators launch an innovative, independent research agenda that improves understanding of how environmental exposures affect human health. In practical terms, this opportunity supports projects that investigate the links between environmental factors and health outcomes, with the aim of generating insights that can explain, predict, prevent, or reduce exposure-related disease and health risks.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary grant under the R01 mechanism, meaning it is intended to support a substantial, multi-year research project led by the investigator. The listing indicates that clinical trials are optional, which means applicants may propose a clinical trial if it is appropriate for the scientific question, but they are not required to include one. The funding activity aligns with the Environment and Health category and is associated with CFDA number 93.113, reflecting its placement within NIH environmental health-related programs.
Eligibility covers a broad set of U.S.-based organizational applicants, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they otherwise meet NIH eligibility rules). The notice also specifically highlights additional eligible applicant types that include several categories of institutions that serve populations historically underrepresented in research funding, such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). This emphasis signals an interest in ensuring that a wide range of institutions and communities can participate in environmental health research capacity building and leadership development.
At the same time, the opportunity places clear limits on foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are not eligible to apply as the primary applicant organization, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible to apply. However, foreign components are allowed under NIH policy as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, meaning a U.S. applicant may include certain foreign collaborations or elements when scientifically justified and structured in compliance with NIH rules.
