The "Gulf Coast Health Alliance: health Risks related to the Macondo Spill (GO-HARMS)" consortium will address critical concerns raised by our community partners regarding Gulf of Mexico seafood safety in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) Disaster. The GC-HARMS consortium participants include the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG), and Gulf Coast communities impacted by the DWH Disaster. The coalition of community partners are represented by the Louisiana Environmental Action Network (Baton Rouge, LA), the Center for Environmental and Economic Justice (Biloxi, MS), the Mississippi Coalition for Vietnamese Fishertolk (Gulfport, MS), and the United Houma Nation (Houma, LA). The mission of the GC-HARMS consortium is to explore the health impacts and community resiliency related to the DWH Disaster by fostering collaborative interactions amongst multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional basic and clinical investigators¿buttressed by active participation of the community partners¿to pursue both fundamental and translational research pertinent to the effects of the oil spill on human health. The overall theme of the GCHARMS consortium is to understand and communicate the human health risks of exposure to potentially hazardous food-borne petrogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH). Our goals developed in collaboration with our community partners are to, 1) assess PAH contamination of Gulf seafood caught by the subsistence fishing communities for personal consumption and commercial sale, 2) determine the toxicity of petrogenic PAH, 3) evaluate exposure and health outcomes in a longitudinal study involving the community partners measuring multiple stressor biomarkers, and 4) disseminate the findings to our community stakeholders. To achieve these objectives, the GC-HARMS consortium is comprised of four research projects, including a Community-based Participatory Research project, a closely allied Community Outreach and Dissemination Core, and an Administrative Core. Additionally, the consortium leverages support from two NIEHS P30 Core Centers to provide essential resources.

“海湾海岸健康联盟：与Macondo泄漏有关的健康风险（Go Harms）”财团将 在深水地平线（DWH）灾难发生后，我们的社区合作伙伴提出了有关墨西哥海鲜安全性的关键问题。 GC HARMS财团的参与者包括 德克萨斯大学医学分公司（UTMB），宾夕法尼亚大学（UPENN），德克萨斯A＆M大学的加尔维斯顿大学（Tamug）和受DWH灾难影响的墨西哥湾海岸社区。社区合作伙伴联盟由路易斯安那州环境行动网络（巴吞鲁日，路易斯安那州），环境和经济司法中心（MS），密西西比州越南Fishertolk（MS）和联合霍玛国家（Houma Nation）（Houma Nation（Houma）（Houma，LA）的密西西比州联盟（Missippi Fishertolk）（密西西比州）。 GC HARMS联盟的使命是通过在多学科，多机构基础和临床研究人员之间培养与DWH灾难相关的健康影响和社区韧性。 GCHARMS财团的总体主题是了解和传达暴露于潜在危险食品传播的石油多环芳烃（PAH）的人类健康风险。我们与社区合作伙伴合作制定的目标是，1）评估PAH污染由自给自足捕鱼社区所捕获的供个人消费和商业销售所捕获的墨西哥湾海鲜，2）确定petrogenic PAH的毒性，3）评估涉及多个压力群体的纵向研究中的纵向研究中的暴露和健康成果，使多个压力群体群落群落群落群体，并以各种群体为生，以及4）群体，以及4）。为了实现这些目标，GC HARMS财团完成了四个研究项目，包括一个基于社区的参与性研究项目，紧密的联盟社区宣传和传播核心以及行政核心。此外，该联盟利用了两个NIEHS P30核心中心的支持来提供基本资源。
