HESI Emerging Issues Proposals

The Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (HESI) seeks your suggestions for priority emerging scientific issues (human or environmental health) that should be addressed through a focused, multi-sector collaborative program. We are seeking topics that focus on the applied human and/or environmental health sciences and that require scientific perspectives and expertise from academe, government, industry, nonprofits, clinicians, and/or others research sectors.

This is not a grant program and no direct financial awards to external parties will be made.

• Anyone from the public or private sectors can submit a proposal. Submissions do not require current or prior affiliation with the HESI organization.
• The issue should be a priority for a broad cross-section (academia, industry, government) of the scientific community and should have current public health significance.
• HESI’s efforts to address the issue will have measurable scientific impact.
• HESI's efforts to address the issue should not be duplicative of other groups.

Ineligibility

• Lengthy basic research proposals will not be considered. Proposals should reflect applied science as contrasted with basic discovery science.
