Summary:	The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, in conjunction with the U.K. Environmental Nanoscience Initiative, is seeking joint applications from U.S. and U.K. partners. These applications should: propose integrated model(s) of fate, behavior, bioavailability and effects for several important and representative nanomaterial classes over key environmental pathways using intrinsic material properties and life cycle analysis as a starting point for model development; validate and refine these model(s) through interdisciplinary research, addressing key assumptions and areas of uncertainty; and develop effective methods and tools to detect, assess, and monitor the presence of nanomaterials in biological and environmental samples. Two consortia, made up of U.K. and U.S. research institutions, will be selected for funding amounting to approximately $4 million for U.S. applicants and £3 million for U.K. applicants.
