NIEHS Center in Urban Environmental Health The Johns Hopkins Center in Urban Environmental Health is a multidisciplinary Center funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to integrate, coordinate and foster research related to the effects of urban environmental factors on human health. The mission of the Center is to identify environmental agent exposures and other factors that alone or together increase risk for people living in urban environments, such as Baltimore, and to then apply these findings to the development of prevention and mitigation strategies to improve public health. The overall objective of the Center’s Pilot Project Program is to fund innovative feasibility studies to assist investigators in the generation of preliminary data for inclusion in applications submitted to extramural agencies for research support. Investigators from any department of the University interested in conducting research in fields associated with Environmental Health Sciences are encouraged to apply! PILOT PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENTS
