Centers of Excellence on Environmental Health Disparities Research
The Centers of Excellence on Environmental Health Disparities (EHD) Research program is a collaborative effort supported by the EPA, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) that encourages basic, biological, clinical, epidemiological, behavioral and/or social scientific investigations of disease conditions that are known to be a significant burden in low socioeconomic and health disparate populations. The EHD Centers support research efforts, mentoring, capacity building, research translation and information dissemination, and are designed to address program-specific research priorities.
