Global Environmental Health Conference

As part of its new strategic plan, NIEHS has prioritized Global Environmental Health (GEH) as a major initiative. To commence this initiative, on January 10, 2007, the NIEHS convened a distinguished panel of scientists in San Francisco, California, to participate in a working conference on global environmental health. The overall goal of this conference was to provide advice and guidance to NIEHS Senior Staff on potential research strategies as they enter into this new arena of environmental health science.

The NIEHS Global Environmental Health Conference objectives were to:

  1. Inform NlEHS of opportunities in global environmental health (GEH)
  2. Evaluate the opportunities in GEH within the context of NIEHS's strategic priorities
  3. Determine the current barriers for NIEHS/NIH to effectively conduct GEH research
  4. Determine the process for establishing effective strategic partnerships in GEH

The workshop participants developed a full summary and executive summary (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/news/events/pastmtg/2007/global/docs/GEH-Overview-Summary.pdf)  Download Adobe Reader (581KB).
