Excerpt
An NIEHS P30 Marine and Freshwater Biomedical Sciences Center (MFBS) award supports centralized resources and facilities shared by investigators having existing funded, peer-reviewed research projects. Its intent is to stimulate the greater utilization of marine and freshwater organisms as models for elucidating mechanisms of toxicity of environmental agents that will ultimately address problems of human health. A P30 award should help to integrate and promote research in existing projects and establish an administrative framework that is conducive to the conduct of interdisciplinary research directly applicable to human environmental health science. By providing a center structure and core resources, this support should enhance the productivity of traditional research grants and foster interaction among a group of established investigators. An NIEHS center should provide an added dimension to a research effort such that the net accomplishment is greater than that possible by the support of individual projects alone.
