The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the release of the Integrating Human Health and Well-Being with Ecosystem Services<http://www.epa.gov/research-grants/integrating-human-health-and-well-being-ecosystem-services> Request for Applications.  This RFA goal is to fund community-based research that will foster better understanding of how human health and well-being are interconnected with—and depend on—ecosystem services.

Specifically, this research examines how communities can integrate ecosystem services with human health and well-being to inform their decision making and management practices. This RFA aims to develop information that allows communities to integrate environmental, societal and economic information and to better manage multiple stressors and their cumulative impacts on humans and ecosystems. The ultimate goal is to help communities achieve their own objectives while taking advantage of more relevant and accessible information about ecosystem services.

The Integrating Human Health and Well-Being with Ecosystems Services RFA is part pf EPA’s Sustainable and Healthy Communities (SHC) Research program. The SHC Research Program provides useful science and tools for decision makers at all levels to help communities advance sustainability as well as achieve regulatory compliance.  SHC is collaborating with partners to conduct research that will result in science-based knowledge to guide decisions that will better sustain a healthy society and environment in America's communities.

Partnerships and community engagement are strongly encouraged for this research.
