DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a coordinated application between Universidad de Chile, Emory University, and University of Georgia. Investigators at the Schools of Public Health at these three institutions have a long track record of working together through our previous Fogarty International Training and Research in Environmental and Occupational Health (ITREOH) grant. The Univ. Chile School of Public Health has a number of strong researchers in environmental research that can form a nucleus to develop a regional hub. Chile has good infrastructure in environmental health at both academic and governmental levels. Our proposal focuses on air pollution (indoor and outdoor), water pollution and climate change as our three areas of interest. We have chosen these three areas of focus because of our expertise in these areas, as well as the availability of experts on these topics and interest in these topics in Chile. This planning grant will allow us to bring together a wide range of academic and government scientists, policy makers, and educators to carry out needs assessment, hub development, research planning, capacity building planning, and evaluation activities. We have the support of many key partners at the Univ. Chile, at other Chilean universities, and in government and international agencies who have expressed interest in working with us and the University of Chile on the planning grant. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This planning grant for a GEOHealth Hub will assess the needs of environmental and occupational health research in Chile and the surrounding region, with a focus on air quality, water quality, and climate change. It will serve public health by summarizing these needs in collaboration with both academic researchers and government officials in Chile and in the region.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是智利大学，埃默里大学和佐治亚大学之间的协调申请。这三个机构的公共卫生学院的调查人员在我们以前的Fogarty国际培训和环境和职业健康（ITREOH）Grant方面的研究方面有着悠久的记录。大学。智利公共卫生学院在环境研究中有许多强大的研究人员，可以形成一个核心来开发区域枢纽。智利在学术和政府层面都有良好的环境健康基础设施。我们的提议着重于空气污染（室内和室外），水污染和气候变化是我们三个感兴趣的领域。我们之所以选择这三个重点领域，是因为我们在这些领域的专业知识，以及有关这些主题的专家的可用性和对这些主题的兴趣 在智利。这项计划赠款将使我们能够将广泛的学术和政府科学家，政策制定者和教育工作者汇集在一起​​，以进行需求评估，枢纽开发，研究计划，能力建设计划和评估活动。我们得到了大学许多关键合作伙伴的支持。智利，在智利其他大学，以及对与我们和智利大学合作的政府和国际机构中的计划赠款。 公共卫生相关性：Geohealth Hub的这项计划赠款将评估智利及周边地区环境和职业健康研究的需求，重点是空气质量，水质和气候变化。 它将通过与智利和该地区的学术研究人员和政府官员合作总结这些需求来为公共卫生提供服务。
