Program DescriptionEnvironmental Health Sciences (EHS) Core Centers are designed to build infrastructure and provide resources to stimulate research in environmental health sciences, including those needed to conduct basic, translational, clinical, and public health research. By facilitating the use of shared research resources that serve the mission areas of the NIEHS, investigators who are associated with EHS Core Centers will be poised to lead the field in new and important directions. The EHS Core Centers Program creates an environment for development of novel technologies and approaches that can be brought to bear on new and existing research projects. The research supported by the Centers allows for improved identification of promising opportunities for collaboration and translation of research findings into domains that enhance our understanding of human disease and public health. EHS Core Centers achieve their aims by doing the following:
EHS Core Centers offer a rich environment for developing research leaders in the field of environmental health sciences. The interaction among various research disciplines at EHS Core Centers provides investigators unique opportunities and allows them to capitalize on them to foster scientific excellence using new methods, technologies, and novel scientific approaches that focus on using environmental science to understand human biology and human disease. EHS Core Centers also stimulate career development for future research leaders in environmental health sciences through training and mentoring programs, as well as by promoting interactions with established investigators in related disciplines, and helping young scientists and clinician-scientists to build foundations for careers in NIEHS-sponsored research.
