National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS); Workshop: Children's Environmental Health: Past, Present and Future Research Strategies

概要

On January 22-23, 2007, the NIEHS is hosting a workshop titled "Children's Environmental Health Research: Past, Present, and Future." The goal of this workshop is to develop new strategies for research, exposure and effects monitoring, intervention and prevention in children's environmental health. Specific objectives are to maximize the effectiveness of scientific research--basic science, exposure monitoring/biomonitoring, epidemiology, toxicology, clinical medicine and multidisciplinary studies--and to enhance the translation of research to the bedside, to the community and to public policy. This meeting is open to the public with attendance limited only by the space available. Time will be set aside for public discussion. Additional information about the workshop and on-line registration are available from the NIEHS Web site at http://www.apps.niehs.nih.gov/conferences/ od/cehr/. The first day will begin with discussions of two case studies that demonstrate the successful implementation of evidence-based intervention/prevention strategies that became possible once links between environmental exposures and a disease in children had been identified. The first case study will focus
