DESCRIPTION. Stalethe application's broad, long-termobjectivesandspecific aims,making referenceto the health relatedness ofthe project.Describe concisely the researchdesign and methodsfor achieving these goals. Avoid summaries of past accomplishments and the useof the first person. This description is meant to serve as a succinct and accurate description of the proposed work when separated from the application. If the application is funded, this description, as is, will become public information. Therefore, do not include proprietary/confidential information. DO NOT EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. The aim of this program is to continue to build the capacity of environmental and occupational health research institutes in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russiato investigate, control, and prevent environmental and occupational health problems through collaborative research and training between these institutes and the University of Illinois at Chicago and its U.S. academic and governmental partners. Our specific objectives over the 5-year term of the grant are to: 1) train up to 25 Visiting Scientists from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) in state-of-the-art research methods and in the responsible conduct of research through U.S.-based intermediate length training(1-3 months); 2) train up to 500 FSU scientists in exposure assessment, epidemiologic research design, and research bioethics by hosting or co-sponsoring up to 10 in-country conferences and workshops; 3) establish research centers of excellence at the Institute of Pediatrics, Obstetrics, and Gynecology in Kyiv (Louise Hamilton Center); the Research Institute of Occupational Health in Moscow; and the International Sakharov Environmental University in Minsk; these centers of excellence will provide research training and support in research design and data analysis, data management, public health informatics, and research bioethics; 4) establish additional data management centers at the Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism in Kyiv and the Research Institute of Occupational Medicine and Human Ecology in Ufa, Bashkortostan; 5) continue our collaborative research programs in Ukraine (environmental health of children, occupational health of coal miners, outbreak investigation in Komsomolsk and Pervomaisk); Belarus (in utero exposure to Chernobyl radiation and surveillance of occupational tuberculosis); and Russia (radiation dosimetry for in utero exposure and health of children and workers exposed to dioxin in Ufa); 6) continue to support the publication of the Ukrainian-language journal "Environment and Health;" and 6) impact the development of environmental health policy in our partner countries, especially in the area of children's environmental health.
