Center for Environmental Research & Community Health (CERCH)

CERCH strives to understand and reduce the risk of environmental threats to children’s health, locally and globally.  To accomplish this mission, we investigate exposures to future parents and children; evaluate their effects on child health, behavior, and development; and translate our research findings into sustainable strategies to reduce environment-related childhood disease. We aim to accomplish these goals through community-based partnerships.

Innovations for Youth (I4Y)

Innovations for Youth (I4Y) catalyzes innovative interventions, practices and policies to improve equity and well-being for youth locally and worldwide, focusing on the social determinants of health, health disparities, connectedness, and networks for adolescents through a multidisciplinary and multigenerational approach.  I4Y allows for efficient and effective collaborative work to address the multidisciplinary nature of the issues facing adolescents and the complexities that some of the interventions may require.
