Award to University of Arizona for the Integrative Health Sciences Facility Core to support research on environmental exposures affecting human health in the Southwest, providing resources for translational research, data science, and inhalation exposure studies.
Description
The Integrated Health Sciences Facility Core (IHSFC) facilitates multi-directional translational research between mechanistic, toxicological, clinical, and population-based studies to inform the scientific community, public health policy, and education. The IHSFC furthers the mission of the Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center (SWEHSC) with a focus on environmental exposures affecting human health unique to the arid Southwest environment. It is organized around three operational components: the Implementation Resource for Translational and Human Exposure Research, the Data Science Resource, and the Inhalation Exposure Resource. These provide services in environmental exposure measurement, statistical modeling, and experimental inhalation exposure studies. The IHSFC collaborates with investigators across SWEHSC research groups, mentors for career development, and works with community stakeholders to communicate research findings and environmental risks.
