CEFIC LRI Invitation for grant applications
The CEFIC Long-range Research Initiative (LRI) is inviting grant applications for research in: indoor exposure, multiple exposure, chemicals sensitizers via novel markers, rapid estimation of trophic magnification factor, critical body burden database, breast cancer. The deadline for applications is 31 August 2009.
The LRI is one of the major voluntary initiatives of the European chemical industry to support its competitiveness and innovation potential. LRI aims to identify and fill gaps in our understanding of the hazards posed by chemicals and to improve the methods available for assessing the associated risks. LRI sponsors high-quality research, published in peer-reviewed journals, and seeks to provide sound scientific advice on which industry and regulatory bodies will draw to respond more quickly and accurately to the public’s concerns.
In the context of its LRI programme, the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) is accepting grant applications to carry out research in the following areas:
- B4 - Indoor Exposure
- B5 - Multiple Exposure
- B6 - Chemicals sensitizers via novel markers
- ECO15 - Rapid estimation of Trophic Magnification Factor (TMF)
- ECO16 - Critical Body Burden (CBB) Database
- CC3 - Breast Cancer
