ATSDR welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with other agencies, associations, and organizations in the effort to promote the health of infants and children. Collaboration is essential to share important information, minimize duplication of programs and services, and improve knowledge and understanding among all stakeholders. Important: Read disclaimer at the bottom of page

Non-government Organizations

ATSDR is collaborating with many non government organizations to seek new partnerships and form a closer association between the child health specialties and the environmental professions. ATSDR hopes that these partnerships will stimulate an exchange of ideas and interests across professional disciplines. For example, child health advocates can learn more about environmental science and environmental scientists can learn more about child health. ATSDR invites its partner organizations and other interested groups to submit technical reports, case studies, and other experiences, and suggest additional areas of emphasis. This is a partial listing of the non government organizations:
