DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The goal of this application is to establish an NIEHS/NSF Center for Oceans and Human Health in Woods Hole Massachusetts. This will be a multi-institutional Center, with a mission to be a focal point for research and communication on issues at the intersection of oceanographic, biological and environmental health sciences, to improve the public health. The Center will involve investigators and facilities of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Marine Biological Laboratory, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Woods Hole COHH will address fundamental issues of the distribution of biological agents with potential human health consequences, in the theme area of the temperate coastal ocean, including bays, harbors and estuaries. Within this geographic theme, Research Projects in the Center will focus on harmful algal blooms and on human pathogens and infectious agents, in both cases with focused and complementary physical oceanographic studies and biological studies of causative agents. The Center will comprise four Research Projects. The Research Projects will be coupled with an advanced Genomics Facility Core, establishing a combination of unusual strength, and supplemented by a Pilot Project program. The proposed Cores and Projects are: Project 1. Alexandrium Population Biology in the Gulf of Maine, Project 2. Hydrodynamic Forcing of Alexandrium Population Biology, Project 3. Human Pathogens and Coastal Ocean Processes, Project 4. Microecology and Evolution of Two Marine Pathogens. Genomics Facility Core.

描述（由申请人提供） 该应用的目的是在马萨诸塞州伍兹洞中建立NIEHS/NSF海洋和人类健康中心。 这将是一个多机构中心，其使命是在海洋学，生物学和环境健康科学交汇处进行研究和沟通的焦点，以改善公共卫生。 该中心将涉及伍兹孔海洋学机构，海洋生物实验室和马萨诸塞州技术研究所的调查人员和设施。 Woods Hole COHH将解决具有潜在人类健康后果的生物学分子的基本问题，包括温带沿海海洋的主题，包括海湾，港口和河口。 在这个地理主题中，中心的研究项目将重点放在有害的藻华和人类病原体和感染剂上，这在两种情况下都有重点和互补的物理海洋学研究以及致病药物的生物学研究。 该中心将包括四个研究项目。 研究项目将与先进的基因组学设施核心结合在一起，建立异常实力，并由试点项目计划补充。拟议的核心和项目是：项目1。缅因州海湾的亚历山大种群生物学项目2。基因组学设施核心。
