The University of Iowa Center for Health Effects of Environmental Contamination (CHEEC) Education Grants aim to provide funding for educational programs encompassing the broad interdisciplinary nature of environmental health. The Grant Program seeks a wide audience of Iowans - including adult or school-age participants. Education programs with a public health and/or an environmental education focus that can demonstrate a link to environmental health are encouraged.

Qualified personnel from non-profit organizations, government entities, professional associations, and educational organizations are all eligible to apply.
