Research Translation Health Effects Epidemiology Mechanistic Toxicology Fate and Transport Ecology Studies Remediation Unifying Theme Unifying Theme Multidisciplinary research addressing broad, complex issues related to hazardous substance exposure Community Outreach Training
4
A diversity of research A diversity of data Opportunity for data integration and data sharing Opportunity to take advantage of new resources and broaden data available to researchers
5
National Institutes of Health U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Biological response data Exposure data Fate and transport data Sustainable remediation data Epidemiology data Enhance the knowledge base Reducing the burden of disease Enhancing environmental health solutions through data integration
6
Putting the pieces together How can the diverse science within SRP be used together and shared? How do we enable projects to share data with other projects and Centers? How do we make this data available and more useable? How do we encourage researchers to leverage existing data?
