The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support a Chemical Exposure Resource and Coordination Core (ExRC) that will provide infrastructure, management, and research support for studies of Chemicals of Concern (CoC) to the Chemical Countermeasures Research Program (CCRP). This core, established across diverse geographical regions, is intended to support multidisciplinary CCRP investigators, through development of infrastructure and exposure protocols for selected toxicants.
