Description: The foundation is interested in projects that evaluate the effects of environmental hazards on infants and young children. Applied research projects that document the impact of, or ameliorate effects of, environmental hazards on the growth and development of infants and young children are the focus of this area of interest. Projects should focus on issues faced by care providers that, when implemented, will improve the health, nutrition, and/or developmental outcomes for infants and young children. The board is particularly looking for practical solutions that can be easily and rapidly implemented on a broad scale with a predictable time frame to clinical application. The foundation seeks projects that will result in ‘new’ information, treatments, or tools that will result in a change in practice. The board rarely funds projects that are focused on sharing current information with parents or caregivers (parent or provider educational programs).

Cooperative agreements may include substantial involvement by APHIS to assist in the completion of the goals and objectives of the work. Competitive Process: Funds will be awarded to the highest quality proposals through a merit-based competitive review and award process. The proposal review process is described in Section 6.
