项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The investigators propose a new "Center for Translational Environmental Health Research" (CTEHR) to promote integrated translational research, and catalyze interdisciplinary research in human environmental health. The CTEHR Mission is to improve our understanding of environmental influences on human health by integrating basic, biomedical and engineering research across translational boundaries from the laboratory to the clinic and to the community and back. To achieve its mission, the CTEHR will be initiated with four broad goals: Goal 1: Build capacity in translational environmental health sciences through member participation in Thematic Focus Areas and utilization of an Integrated Health Sciences Facility Core (IHSFC). Research in the five interrelated Thematic Focus Areas focuses on environmental stressors, modifiers of individual response and human health outcomes impacted by the environment. The IHSFC will provide unique resources and utilize "Translational Navigators" to facilitate utilization and promote translational environmental health research by CTEHR members. Goal 2: Integrate researchers and research activities across translational boundaries and develop promising new investigators in translational environmental health with a Career Development Program. The CTEHR Career Development Program will mentor junior investigators, and promote professional development all along the career spectrum with a new inter-Center "Mentored Partnership" Program. Goal 3: Enhance the capabilities of research programs in environmental health sciences with Facility Cores and a Pilot Project Program. CTEHR Facility Cores will build a "Discovery Pipeline" to provide resources supporting Hypothesis Generation and Hypothesis Testing studies that Translate into practice Center member research. The Pilot Project Program supports early-stage projects with potential to advance environmental health science research. Goal 4: Create a bridge between Center members, surrounding communities, and stakeholders to further scientific collaborations and dissemination of research results through the Community Outreach and Engagement Core (COEC). By fostering the involvement of Center scientists, Facility Core and Program personnel, the COEC will provide resources and expertise that enable individuals, communities and policy makers to make informed decisions about environmental exposures, and to mitigate environmental disease risks. The Texas Medical Center is the largest medical center in the world, with a wealth of investigators conducting world-class research relevant to human environmental health. However, no entity exists in this setting to integrate these talented investigators and harness the capabilities of this resource-rich environment to promote research and translation of the environmental health sciences. CTEHR will fill this need by serving as the focal point for environmental health research across the TMC and affiliated institutions.

描述（由申请人提供）研究人员提出了一项新的“转化环境健康研究中心”（CTEHR），以促进综合翻译研究，并促进人类环境健康的跨学科研究。 CTEHR的使命是通过整合从实验室到诊所，再到社区以及返回的基础，生物医学和工程研究，通过整合基础，生物医学和工程研究，从而提高我们对环境对人类健康的影响的理解。为了实现其使命，将以四个广泛的目标启动CTEHR：目标1：通过成员参与主题重点领域并利用综合健康科学设施核心（IHSFC）来建立转化环境健康科学的能力。五个相互关联的主题重点领域的研究重点关注环境压力源，个人反应的修饰以及受环境影响的人类健康成果。 IHSFC将提供独特的资源，并利用“转化导航器”来促进利用和促进CTEHR成员的转化环境健康研究。目标2：将研究人员和研究活动整合到翻译边界，并将有希望的新研究人员与职业发展计划一起开发新的研究人员。 CTEHR职业发展计划将指导初级调查人员，并通过新的中央“指导合作伙伴关系”计划在整个职业范围内促进职业发展。目标3：通过设施核心和试点项目计划增强环境健康科学研究计划的能力。 CTEHR设施核心将建立“发现管道”，以提供支持假设产生和假设检验研究的资源，这些研究将转化为实践中心成员研究。试点项目计划支持具有推进环境健康科学研究的潜力的早期项目。目标4：在中心成员，周围社区和利益相关者之间建立桥梁，以通过社区宣传和参与核心（COEC）进一步进行科学合作和扩散研究结果。通过促进中心科学家，设施核心和计划人员的参与，COEC将提供资源和专业知识，使个人，社区和政策制定者能够就环境暴露，并减轻环境疾病风险做出明智的决定。得克萨斯州医疗中心是世界上最大的医疗中心，大量研究人员进行了与人类环境健康有关的世界一流研究。但是，在这种环境中，没有任何实体可以整合这些才华横溢的研究人员并利用这种资源丰富的环境的能力促进环境健康科学的研究和翻译。 CTEHR将通过作为整个TMC和附属机构的环境健康研究的焦点来满足这一需求。
