Signature Program in Environmental Health SciencesA key component of the Signature Program in Environmental Health Science is that it includes one of twenty-two NIEHS-funded P30 Centers in the U.S. The Center represents a partnership between the SOM Department of Internal Medicine, the UNM College of Pharmacy, the UNM Cancer and Research Center, and the Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute (LRRI). The mission of this program is to conduct basic and clinical science research that addresses environmental science, environmental medicine, and environmental public health issues that are of concern to people living in New Mexico, the Four Corners Region, and the U.S.-Mexico Border. The Center has an Administrative Core, a Research Core consisting of 57 funded principal investigators of grants with over $25M annual direct costs, and five Facility Cores. The Facility Cores support labs and services in Integrative Health Sciences, Environmental Assessment and Exposures, Oxidative Stress, Biotechnology, and Biostats/Biocomputing. The Center works with many Native American pueblos and the Navajo Nation and has a Community Outreach and Education Core. The P30 center grant is currently under competitive renewal as part of a new RFA that emphasizes clinical translational research, it will conduct four major clinical and epidemiologic projects through its Integrative Health Sciences Facility Core. These projects will partner with the CTSC and will fund clinician scientists through an environmental health sciences research fellowship. The New Mexico Center for Environmental Health Science (NMCEHS) will also participate in the Career Development and Training programs of the CTSC and will offer special training and research opportunities in environmental health sciences.
