The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) annouces the release of 
the /Integrating Human Health and Well-Being with Ecosystem Services/ 
Request for Applications (RFA) 
<http://www.epa.gov/research-grants/integrating-human-health-and-well-being-ecosystem-services>. 
This RFA goal is to fund community-based research that will foster 
better understanding of how human 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 of EPA's Sustainable and Healthy Communities (SHC) Research 
program 
<http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/about-sustainable-and-healthy-communities-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.
