Promoting a Basic Understanding of Chemical Threats to Skin (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Last verified by NonDilute: 2026-04-29. Official notice and agency instructions control.
If you study how chemicals damage skin at the basic science level, NIH will fund your R01—but only if it's not a clinical trial.

What this is
The National Institutes of Health is seeking research proposals that advance fundamental knowledge about chemical threats to skin, including mechanisms of injury, exposure pathways, and protective factors. This is a basic research opportunity (R01 mechanism) focused on scientific understanding rather than clinical intervention or drug development. Clinical trials are explicitly excluded. The funding is most relevant to researchers studying dermatotoxicology, skin barrier function, chemical safety, or occupational/environmental health impacts on skin.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants typically include universities, research institutions, and non-profit organizations with research capacity; for-profit entities may apply under specific conditions. U.S. citizenship/residency requirements apply to key personnel. Clinical trial studies are ineligible regardless of applicant type.
Topics: chemical safety skin · dermatotoxicology · skin barrier function · chemical threat research · occupational health skin · skin injury mechanisms
