| Title: | Collaborations for Children's Environmental Health Research: A Scientist-to-Scientist Workshop |
| Date: | July 11 – 12, 2005 |
| Location: | EPA Main Campus, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina |
| Contact: | Nigel Fields 202-343-9767 fields.nigel@epa.gov |
| Purpose: | This is a working meeting to build scientist-to-scientist
collaboration in children’s environmental health
research. Both EPA staff scientists and the EPA/NIEHS
Centers for Children’s Environmental Health and
Disease Prevention Research are working at the forefront
of research in this area. This meeting is being held to
ensure that EPA’s research will continue to lead
local and national efforts in children’s health,
from basic research to major public health outcomes.
The conference will include brief updates from the Children’s Centers on their research, and breakout sessions to discuss collaborations between Children’s Centers researchers and EPA scientists in areas including computational toxicology, neurotoxicology, asthma and air pollution, organophosphate and organochlorine pesticide exposures and oxidative stress biomarkers. The long-range goal of the Children’s Centers program is to promote translation of basic research findings into applied intervention and prevention methods, thereby enhancing awareness among children, their families, and health care practitioners regarding detection, treatment, and prevention of environmentally related diseases and health conditions. |
