Description
The UCSF-Stanford Environmental Research and Translation for Health (EaRTH) Center’s Mentored Innovation Awards in Environmental Science and Health are designed to catalyze new research directions among early-career investigators. These awards support junior faculty, clinicians, and postdoctoral scholars in launching projects that address the health impacts of environmental pollutants, chemicals, and related exposures. Projects may span basic, clinical, translational, or epidemiological research and should align with the EaRTH Center’s mission to improve health across the lifespan, particularly for vulnerable and underserved populations. Awardees are expected to collaborate with EaRTH Center Core Directors to refine their proposals and leverage available resources.
