The SRP Center Non-Competing Guidelines  (271KB) are intended to assist existing, awarded SRP Centers in the preparation of the non-competing continuing application (i.e., the Type 5 Annual Progress Report or, simply, "Type 5") as well as to provide other information about reporting of Center updates and best practices related to issues that may arise throughout the duration of a grant cycle.

We are continuously collecting data about community engagement and research translation activities. Please help us by using the SRP Community Engagement/Research Translation Data Collection Form (http://tools.niehs.nih.gov/srp/resources/rtc.cfm) to share your updates.

We have also updated the Community Engagement/Research Translation Cores Network web page.
 

CareerTrac is an NIH/NIEHS funded system to enable evaluation of the training program for SRP trainees (i.e., pre- and post-doctoral trainees either directly supported or conducting research/activities supported by SRP P42 or R01 grants) specializing in the environmental health sciences. CareerTrac is intended to be a tool for NIEHS/SRP staff and SRP P42 and R01 grantees to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the SRP training program and also to help NIEHS in overall coordination of its various research training programs. CareerTrac can be accessed through the NIEHS Research Partners webpage.

If you or one of your colleagues is interested in conducting research at a Superfund Site, the BEST time to get involved is when the site is proposed or newly added to the National Priorities List (NPL). The EPA releases the lists of proposed and added NPL sites twice a year, in the spring and fall. The links below will take you to the current lists, which contain information about the sites and contact information for the Site Managers.

• Proposed NPL Sites 
• Final NPL Sites
