The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is offering 
grants to support development of novel assays by U.S. small business concerns. 
The deadline for applying for these grants has been extended to February 19.

The grants will support development of medium- to high-throughput assays to 
evaluate the effects of toxicants on pluripotent or induced pluripotent cells 
with respect to cell differentiation and the resulting differentiated cell 
populations. Assays will provide information on mechanisms of chemically 
induced biological activity, help to prioritize chemicals for more extensive 
toxicological evaluation, support more predictive models of in vivo biological 
response, and potentially inform the role of genetic diversity in toxicological 
effects. R41 grants (Phase 1) will award up to $225,000 for up to one year; 
R43/R44 grants (Phase 1, Phase 2, Fast-Track) will award up to $225,000 for up 
to one year for Phase 1 applications and $1,500,000 for up to two years for 
Phase 2 applications.
