A Role for the Public and Scientists in the NIEHS Research Plan Brief Description: Transcript: Newton: The first element is basic research and that's really how to understand how environmental exposures fundamentally alter human biology. That's really the sort of the structural building block of how the cell and the organism work. The second building blocks then is to build on the first one, human health and disease and focus on human diseases that are in part caused by environmental exposures. Global environmental health, that's the support research programs to understand the health risks and sort of come up with solutions for populations around the world and the fourth building block is education training and career development and its really about providing the pipe line of researchers that we need to get this done now and in the future.
