On November 23, 2007 the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) released a Notice (NOT-ES-08-002(http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-ES-08-002.html)) soliciting feedback from the public, environmental health researchers, healthcare professionals, educators, policy makers and others with a vested interest in the effects of environmental exposures on public health. This Request for Information (RFI) was directed toward the establishment of a 5–10 year plan for a new, unified program titled, “Partnerships for Environmental Public Health” (PEPH) to promote and advance partnerships for environmental public health. NIEHS encouraged “out of the box, innovative, visionary” ideas and comments to help revitalize, stimulate and shape NIEHS activities in environmental public health.
Methodology
The following series of documents is the compilation of all the responses to the RFI. Responses arrived in a variety of formats: e-mail, interactive pdf form, MS Word documents, regular pdf documents, letters and faxes. NIEHS copied and pasted all responses into a spreadsheet for analysis purposes. Each response received a Response Number as it was entered into the master spreadsheet. During this process, the Institute did not change the content of the documents; however, formatting, in some instances, was lost. If typos were found, they were fixed. Names of the respondents were not included in the spreadsheet.
The series of documents are:
