Program Overview

The Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth) program supports the development of institutions in low- or middle-income countries (LMICs) serving as regional hubs for collaborative research, data management, training, curriculum and outreach material development, and policy support around high-priority local, national and regional environmental and occupational health threats.

Current GEOHealth Hubs

GEOHealth Hubs are supported by two coordinated linked awards to 1) a LMIC institution for research and 2) a U.S. institution to coordinate research training. Together they form the GEOHealth Network, a platform for coordinated environmental and occupational health research and research training activities. View a full list of current GEOHealth Hub awards, including both US and LMIC awards.
