Division of Science & Research

The Division of Science & Research is responsible for developing and promoting the Foundation's scientific and programmatic agenda as it relates to diseases and disorders that disproportionately impact minority populations. The Division will also provide technical assistance to program and institutional staff.

Environmental Health and Toxicology Research Program

The Environmental Health and Toxicology Research Program (EHTRP) is a component of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's (ATSDR) substance-specific applied research program (SSARP),  which seeks to determine relationships between human health effects and exposure to hazardous substances. In 1992, ATSDR identified approximately
119 substance-specific priority data needs for 38 hazardous substances found  at National Priorities List (NPL or "Superfund") sites. EHTRP research will contribute significantly to the knowledge base on the human health effects of these substances and their threshold exposure levels.  For further information please contact Marcia Owens at 404-634-1993.
