Free funding part
In order to further strengthen the
collaboration in SNAP and to give the opportunity for
other groups to receive funding, it was decided to keep a part of the
program open and reserve some of the funding for this purpose.
There have been two calls for new projects to be funded by the free funding
part, one in 2002 and another during fall 2003. The last date to apply for
funding for the first application was
January 15, 2002, and the deadline for the second call was October 15, 2003. More information about the
focus of the second call for funding can be found on the link to the right.
Important aspects that were not initially covered in
SNAP was especially called for. The following topics were given
priority during the first call for funding:
-
Gene-environment interaction.
-
Mechanisms of effects of air pollution.
-
Loss of quality of life, etc, due to air pollution.
In the program text, the following
additional topics were also mentioned as especially important:
-
Effects of exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and
infancy.
-
Wood smoke: exposure and health effects.
-
Environmental exposure to benzene and other carcinogens:
methods for assessment of exposure and health effects.
