While HEI believes that an understanding of its research priorities is important for applicants to the preliminary application process, and would like in most cases to fund studies that are responsive to those priorities, an important goal of this preliminary application process is to provide a means for investigators to suggest new areas of research. Thus, applications will be considered not only on issues raised in the discussion above and in HEI’s strategic plan, but also on other issues related to improving the understanding and assessment of the health risks of exposure to motor vehicle emissions and secondary pollutants derived from them, and the whole air pollution mixture to which they contribute.
