Environmental Health Sciences Core Centers
Funds environmental health core centres with shared facilities to expand institutional research capacity.
NIEHS Environmental Health Sciences Core Centers support shared research infrastructure at institutions with an established NIEHS portfolio. The P30 mechanism sits under the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and funds centralized resources that multiple investigators can use together rather than a standalone project. It is a grant program for U.S. universities and research organizations, with universities required for eligibility. New or first-time applicants can receive up to $850,000 in direct costs per year for 4 years, or $3.4 million in total, and renewals may request more. The supported work includes biorepositories, data cores, and community outreach, and the competition opens on a biennial rhythm. This is a fit for institutions that already have multiple NIEHS-funded investigators and need a common platform to scale collaboration. The strongest proposals usually show a mature research base, a clear shared-resource plan, and enough institutional depth to justify a center built around infrastructure rather than a single disease project.
