Collaborative Centers in Children's Environmental Health Research and Translation

NIEHS has developed and sustained a strong base of children’s environmental health (CEH) research projects for more than 20 years. The NIEHS Collaborative Centers in Children’s Environmental Health Research and Translation (CEHRT) program builds upon that foundation by establishing a national network of centers committed to translating key CEH research findings to relevant partners.

There are seven centers across the country. Six centers utilize research findings to create new tools, approaches, and interventions that can be used or adapted by partners to improve children’s health in communities with disproportionate exposure to environmental hazards. These centers also support pilot projects and mentorship opportunities to advance CEH research translation. A seventh center coordinates, promotes, and evaluates activities across the network. The current funding period is 2021-2026.
