This relationship began in 1992 with the Environmental Health & Toxicology Research Program (EHTRP). The goals being: to commence research to close gaps in the knowledge about the effects of toxic chemicals in the environment and to enhance the research capacities of the AMHPS’ member institutions.
The EHHSTRP seeks to apply the findings from the 10-year EHTRP program (1993-2003) to improve environmental health low-income and/or minority communities.
