项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Anton de Kom University of Suriname, Faculty of Medical Sciences and Tulane University, School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine are collaboratively proposing to create the Caribbean Consortium for Research in Environmental and Occupational Health (CCREOH). The consortium will focus on three high priority environmental and occupational health risks: 1) gold mining-related Hg contamination of indigenous food sources specifically fish; 2) access and use of pesticides in large and small-scale agriculture; and 3) environmental contamination of nutraceuticals and indigenous medicinal plants. An important aspect of CCREOH will be engaging the indigenous and other health disparate communities in characterizing, protecting and preserving the nutraceutical assets indigenous to this region. Aim 1: Characterize the key environmental and occupational (EOH) health risks associated with gold mining-related Hg contamination, pesticide use in agriculture, and indigenous nutraceutical contamination to inform a gap and opportunities assessments of relevant environmental policies in Suriname. Aim 2: Create a sustainable public health and EOH network to serve as the trans-disciplinary research and training hub for CCREOH. Aim 3: Develop a trans-disciplinary research roadmap to guide the consortium's environmental and occupational health research leveraging all consortium partner assets. Aim 4: Develop a capacity building portfolio including a regional EOH training program to successfully implement the priority areas articulated in the CCREOH research roadmap RELEVANCE TO PUBLIC HEALTH (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of the CCREOH is to address high priority environmental and occupational health risks in Suriname and those common to the increasingly vulnerable Caribbean region while preserving the unique assets, health and cultural traditions of indigenous- and other health disparate populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：安东德·科姆大学，医学科学学院和杜兰大学，公共卫生和热带医学学院，正在协作，旨在建立加勒比海环境和职业健康研究联盟（CCREOH）。该财团将重点关注三个高优先级环境和职业健康风险：1）与黄金采矿相关的本地食品来源专门捕鱼的汞污染； 2）在大型和小型农业中获取和使用农药； 3）营养物和土著药用植物的环境污染。 CCREOH的一个重要方面将吸引土著和其他不同卫生的社区来表征，保护和保存该地区土著的营养资产。 AIM 1：表征与与黄金开采相关的汞污染，农药使用中的农药以及本地营养营养污染相关的关键环境和职业（EOH）健康风险，以告知苏里南相关环境政策的差距和机会评估。目标2：创建一个可持续的公共卫生和EOH网络，以作为CCREOH的跨学科研究和培训中心。目标3：开发跨学科研究路线图，以指导该财团的环境和职业健康研究利用所有财团合作伙伴资产。目标4：制定能力建设组合，包括区域EOH培训计划，以成功实施CCREOH研究路线图中阐明的优先领域与公共卫生相关（由申请人提供）：CCREOH的总体目标是解决苏里南的高优先级环境和职业健康风险，以及越来越脆弱的加勒比地区共有的，同时保留了独特的资产，健康和其他健康和其他健康期路居民的健康和文化传统。
