Frequently Asked Questions

All faculty and grant principal investigator (PI)-eligible members of Texas A&M University are eligible for TiCER membership. The primary qualification is interest and active research or community engagement in areas of interest to the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).

Members are provided preference to receive vouchers to access TICER core facilities. Additionally, junior researchers are eligible to participate in career development programs. All members are eligible to participate in TiCER activities, seminars, symposia, and networking programs to increase collaborations.

There are two pilot deadlines each year, at the start of the fall and spring semesters. Announcements will be sent to everyone on the TICER list-serve and various distributions throughout Texas A&M University. If timely and unique opportunities arise, members should contact the TICER Director for special program support.

Each voucher is evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the core director, so there is no set limit on funding.

Only those whose research is in the areas of environmental health science are eligible for membership. Others can attend seminars and symposia and submit pilot project applications to expand research into environmental health science.

Communities and their members have the opportunity to help direct areas of research that are of interest to participating communities. Additionally, TICER members are available to provide talks or community forums on research, outcomes, and impacts on health.
