Centers of Excellence in Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research - 2007

In partnership with the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), the US EPA funded additional research centers to conduct multidisciplinary basic and clinical research using a community-based participatory approach to examine the effects of environmental exposures on children's health and to translate the research findings to public policy, to address community needs, and to information for the health care community and general public.

The long-range goals of this Center program include the following: (1) to stimulate new and expand existing research on the role of environment in the etiology of disease/dysfunction among children, (2) to develop novel effective intervention and prevention strategies, and (3) to promote translation of basic research findings into applied intervention and prevention methods, thereby enhancing awareness among children, their families, and health care practitioners regarding detection, treatment, and prevention of environmentally related diseases and health conditions.
