The Environmental
Health, Health Services, and Toxicology
Research Program (EHHSTRP) is the third
project in the long history of the
collaborative relationship between the
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR) and the Association of
Minority Health Professions Schools, Inc. (AMHPS).
This relationship
began in 1992 with Environmental Health &
Toxicology Research Program (EHTRP) with the
goals: 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 medicine in low-income and/or
minority communities.
