prevalent being eye, nose, and throat
irritation. While considerable progress
has been made in the development of
technology to measure contaminant
concentrations, greater effort is needed
in quantifying human responses to
indoor air environments. Studies to
date have shown that worker health in
office buildings, for example, is
influenced by individual, perceptual,
psychosocial, and psychophysical
factors.
CIAR requests applications for
research to:
• Elucidate the relationship among
disorders expressed by occupants in
buildings and the importance of
perception. Determine the baseline
rates of symptom reporting under
various, well-documented circum-
stances. This research would most
likely involve the development of
improved sampling strategies fog
surveying building occupants and
improved serf-reporting measures,
interview techniques, and o~her
approaches to assess occupants'
health problems.
• Develop convenient, objective ways,
based on physiological or biochemical
measurements, to assess irritation
and to validate symptoms of irrita-
tion. Improve the sensitivity of
existing indices of eye, throat, and
nasal irritation.
• Explore the basis for individual and
group differences in perceptual
sensitivity and annoyance to indoor
contaminants. Relevant factors
could include age, sex, and personal
history of smoking behavior, allergy,
and respiratory infection.
• Develop and validate a predictive
human structure-activity model for
irritants. Explore the potential for
extrapolating the existing structure-
activity data for irritants in animals
to humans.
• Develop convenient, objective ways
based on objective measurements, to
assess the impomance of pollutant per-
ception on alterations in performance.
Engineering
Control of IAQ
The decrease of indoor contaminants
most probably will lead to reduction
of adverse health effects. The choice
of an engineering control strategy
depends strongly on the psychosocial
and psychophysical influences
described above as well as the
measurable environmental contaminant
concentrations. Therefore, develop-
ment of "healthy building characteris-
tics" involves knowledge of both the
physical environment and occupant
responses.
Applications are requested for:.
• Developing engineering strategies to
control either indoor comfort para-
meters or indoor air quality parame-
ters, or both. Strategies that enhance
the welfare of occupants (comfort
parameters) and their health (indoor
air parameters) are preferred to
controls that address just one or the
other.
• Developing engineering control
strategies to reduce occupant expo-
sures to indoor air contaminants in
office buildings and in residences.
Develop protocols to assess the
efficiency of each proposed strategy.
• Developing criteria and standards
for the design of spaces to be
occupied and for design of control
systems, to minimize or mitigate
indoor air quality problems.

Application
Process
LETTER OF INTENT: CIAR
requests submission of a two to three
page letter of intent, including a
synopsis of the proposed research
with reference to the project's specific
goal(s), the general approach to be
used, identification of all participating
institutions and an estimate of the
total monies that will be requested.
These letters will be used to plan the
proposal review process. The letter of
intent is not binding on CIAR or the
applicant. This letter should be
-eceived no later than thirty (30) days
prior to the deadline for submitting
applications, at the following address:
Center for Indoor Air Research
1099 Winterson Road, Suite 280
Linthicum, Maryland 21090
CIAR will notify the applicant ifa full
application is not warranted.
FORMAT: Applications must be
submitted on the attached
"Application for CIAR Research
Contract". Investigators should
review the Application for CIAR
Research Contract General
Information and Instructions found
on pages 12 to 14. Inquiries regarding
application procedures and review
procedures may be directed to the
Center at the above address or by
calling (410) 684- 3777. If two appli-
cations are interdependent or closely
related, they should be appropriately
cross-referenced in the project plan.
Two copies of the abstract and twelve
(original and eleven) copies of the
application (including abstracO are
needed by CIAR for the review
process.
Each copy of the application, except
the original, should be bound wilh
a label containing the title of the
proposal and the principal investi-
gator's name.
DEADLINES: Applications must be
postmarked by June 1. Proposals not
meeting this deadline will be held for
the next funding cycle.
Management of
Research Contracts
Research Agreements
The Center for Indoor Air Research
awards contracts, renewable annually
for the number of years approved by
the Board of Directors if work is
progressing satisfactorily. The
Research Contract has been designed
to maximize the integrity of the scien-
tific process while providing needed
protections and meeting applicable
regulations. Proposals and any addenda
or modifications will be appended and
made part of the contract.
Progress Reports
Investigators are required to submit
progress reports at five months and
ten months of each contract year,
except for the last year of the project,
when the final report is substituted for
the usual ten-month report. These
reports are reviewed by the project
monitor.
The basic objective of the five month
report is to indicate how much
progress has been made in the devel-
opment of experimental procedures,
which objectives have been completed,
and what problems, if any, have arisen.
t~

BATCo US DOJ v Philip Morris
The ten-month report is actually a
combined progress report and renewal
application for the next year's funding.
CIAR's decision regarding renewal of
the contract is based upon the informa-
tion provided by the investigator in
this repo~ The ten-month report
should provide a detailed account of
experimental results obtained during
the funding period, as well as a discus-
sion of specific objectives for the
coming year and a budget.
Site Visits
CIAR staff (project monitor) usually
conducts site visits to the laboratories
of its funded investigators during the
project period. The purpose of these
visits is to evaluate the status of the
project, and to provide an opportunity
for an exchange of ideas between the
investigator and CIAR scientists.
Final Report
As part of the research project, the
investigator prepares a final report
which describes the study and its
findings. The investigator's draft final
report is reviewed by the project
monitor. Some reports are reviewed
also by peers who represent a broad
range of relevant experience. The
objective of the CIAR review process
is to ensure that the Investigator's
Report is complete, precise, and
understandable. Review comments
may be sent to the investigator who
then has an opportunity to respond to
the comments and, if necessary, to
revise the report. Guidelines for the
preparation of final reports to CIAR
appear in Appendix C.
Publications
It is the policy of the Center to strongly
encourage investigators to publish
results of research conducted with
CIAR funds in the open scientific
literature. The following statement,
acknowledging CIAR support, should
appear in all publications resulting
from work funded by CIAR:
"Research described in this article
was supported (in part) by the
Center for Indoor Air Research."
Original reprints of all journal articles,
copies of abstracts, and review articles
describing CIAR-funded research
should be sent to the Center.
Contract
Administration
Policy
Payments will be made quarterly to
the institution where the research is
being conducted. A payment schedule
other than quarterly must be requested
and approved by the Center prior to
commencement of a contract.
Payments are made upon receipt of an
invoice from the institution.
It is the Center's policy to permit
quarterly billing of 22.5% of the total
contract less equipment. Ten percent
of the total contract amount is with-
held pending receipt and acceptance
of the ten-month/final report by the
Center. Equipment should be invoiced
in the quarter in which it is purchased.
Contracts may not be transferred from
one institution to another due to a
change in affiliation by principal
investigator without express permis-
sion of the Center.

BATCo US DOJ v Philip Morris
A Contract may be terminated prior to
normal expiration date by the contrac-
tor upon notification to the Center with
a statement of reasons for termination.
Unexpended funds shall be returned
to the Center for Indoor Air Research
either upon expiration or termination
of the project.
Budgets are presumed accurate at the
time of award; however, up to 20% of
the funds may be reapportioned
among all categories, except for travel,
without prior approval. If, for any
unforseen reasons, additional funds or
reapportionments exceeding 20% are
required, such requests will be consid-
ered by the Center upon receipt of a
complete statement of reasons for
such change. PLEASE NOTE: If
funds are reapportioned into category
(g), equipment, and/or category(f),
sub-contracts, subsequent reduction in
category (i), indirect costs, will result
and, thus, reduction in the total project
award.
