RESEARCH PROGRAMS

Medical Exam Program
The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHSPH) and collaborators have been funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a Medical Exam Program for former workers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-AL) in New Mexico.

The purpose of the program is to provide free medical evaluations to former workers who were exposed to hazardous substances during their employment at the laboratories. The program aims to determine if the health of former workers has been affected as a result of their past work.

Program on Global Sustainability and Health
The Program on Global Sustainability and Health is dedicated to public health research, education, practice and policy as it relates to examination of the drivers, consequences and implications of global environmental change, and the challenges and obstacles to achieving a more sustainable future.

CENTERS

Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing
The Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing promotes humane science by supporting the creation, development, validation and use of alternatives to animals in research, product safety testing and education. Center members seek to effect change by working with scientists in industry, government and academia to find new ways to replace animals with non-animal methods, to reduce the number of animals required for use and to refine methods to make them less painful or stressful to the animals involved.

Education and Research Center for Occupational Safety and Health
The Johns Hopkins Education and Research Center for Occupational Safety and Health, sponsored by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, provides healthcare professionals with the training and tools needed to address occupational and environmental health challenges of today and tomorrow. Their multidisciplinary graduate programs educate professionals for careers in research, practice, education and policy development. Click here to dowload a copy of the Center's brochure.

Center for a Livable Future
The Center for a Livable Future promotes research and develops and communicates information about the complex interrelationships among diet, food production, environment and human health; advances an ecological perspective in reducing threats to the health of the public; and promotes policies that protect health, the global environment and the ability to sustain life for future generations.

Center for Mind-Body Research
The Johns Hopkins Center for Mind-Body Research develops and nurtures the intellectual community of mind-body researchers at Johns Hopkins University. The Center strives to create a fertile intellectual community that facilitates productive interdisciplinary collaborations in mind-body research and to apply innovative research methodologies to elucidate psychobiological mechanisms linking emotional and cognitive processes with health and illness.

Johns Hopkins National Children's Study Center
The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is home to a study center in the National Children’s Study to assess the effects of environmental and genetic factors on child and human health in the United States. The study center manages local participant recruitment and data collection in the largest study of child and human health ever conducted in the United States.

The Johns Hopkins Public Health Preparedness Programs (JHPHPP)

The JHPHPP consists of two Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-funded centers: The Johns Hopkins Preparedness and Emergency Response Research Center (JH~PERRC) and The Johns Hopkins Center for Public Health Preparedness (JH~CPHP). These programs are part of an integrated network of preparedness research and training activities aimed at addressing CDC’s “Healthy People 2010” priority areas to help communities prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters. 

Center in Urban Environmental Health
The Center in Urban Environmental Health seeks to identify environmental exposures and susceptibility factors—the nexus of gene-environment interactions that alone or together increase health risk for people living in urban environments—and to use these findings to develop prevention and intervention strategies to improve public health.

Center for Water and Health
The Johns Hopkins Center for Water and Health is a multidisciplinary research and education center committed to leadership in the field of water and public health. The Center collaborates with researchers, engineers and scientists across University divisions to advance knowledge on drinking water, water treatment, wastewater and natural water systems for the 21st century.
