SRP 2026 Risk e-Learning Series: From Cells to Solutions: Emerging Tools for Studying Health and Disease
SRP hosted a Risk e-Learning Webinar series focused on the use of innovative, human-relevant technologies to better characterize the biological effects of chemicals. Archives for all sessions are now available.
NIH Grants & Funding: Implementation of New Initiatives and Policies
NIH has released an Implementation of New Initiatives and Policies webpage where you can learn more about the status of changes impacting the grants process and plans for implementing new initiatives and policies.
SRP Notice of Intent to Publish (NOITP)
The SRP has recently released a Notice of Intent To Publish (NOITP) about the anticipated release of the P42 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Please visit the SRP Funding Opportunities website for more information.
Trainee Spotlight: Linking PFAS Exposure to Liver Toxicity
University of Rhode Island SRP Center trainee Juliana Agudelo Areiza talks about her current research on how PFAS accumulate in the liver and her K.C. Donnelly Externship at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Research Brief 371: Building Better Models to Study Air Pollution and Lung Health
Researchers at the Oregon State University Superfund Research Program (SRP) Center developed an advanced cell culture model that better represents the human lung. By combining two different types of cells that interact in the lungs, their model provides more information about how inhaled chemicals may harm human health.
Superfund Research Program Science Digest
Check out the April 2026 issue of the SRP Science Digest, which highlights how SRP grant recipients are transforming the research landscape through advances in complex cell-based systems, computational modeling, and other emerging methods that improve the precision and human relevance of chemical hazard characterization.
Where We Work
If you are interested in learning more about where SRP grant recipients are working, check out the SRP map to see the locations of SRP grant recipients, as well as hazardous waste sites where they conduct research or outreach.
SRP Search Tools
SRP has five search tools to help you learn more about the projects and researchers funded by the Program. The new SRP Faceted Search tool allows you to apply one or more filters to browse information about SRP projects. Filters include chemicals studied, health outcomes, environmental media, and remediation approaches.

The NIEHS Superfund Research Program (SRP) supports research at universities and small businesses to solve complex environmental health problems, reduce hazardous contaminant cleanup costs, decrease exposure to contaminants, and improve human health.
