Summary:  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to 
Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing research on 
science for sustainable and healthy tribes. This solicitation is focused on 
research to develop sustainable solutions to environmental problems that 
affect tribes. The objectives of the awards to be made under this solicitation 
are to improve understanding of: 1) the health impacts of climate change on 
tribal populations; and 2) the health impacts of indoor air pollution 
exposures that derive from or are directly affecting traditional tribal 
life-ways and cultural practices. In both cases, projects should focus on 
impacts to vulnerable sub-populations of the Tribal communities. Proposals 
should also consider sustainable, culturally appropriate and acceptable 
pollution prevention, and adaptation/mitigation strategies.

Eligible applicants, including Minority Academic Institutions (MAIs) as 
defined in Section I.A of this solicitation, are strongly encouraged to apply 
for funding under this competition.
