| Size Characteristics of Larger Academic Human Environmental Health Programs in the United States Bernard D. Goldstein, Mark G. Robson, and Candace E. Botnick Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute and the New Jersey Graduate Program in Public Health, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey - Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Piscataway, NJ 08854 USA Abstract
We have performed a benchmark exercise evaluating larger academic programs in human environmental health sciences. These programs are located at schools of public health and at other institutions that have NIEHS Centers of Excellence. The largest programs were those in which there was both an NIEHS center and a public health graduate education program. This suggests that there is synergy between environmental health sciences research and involvement in public and community health. Key words: environmental health programs, NIEHS centers, schools of public health. Environ Health Perspect 106:615-617 (1998) .
