New Mexico Integrative Science Program Incorporating Research in Environmental Sciences (NM-INSPIRES)

NM-INSPIRES总体项目摘要 该NIEHS P30核心中心将支持与环境相关的基础和转化研究， 诱发疾病。NM-INSPIRES将通过多方向的合作， 沟通和节目。该中心的主题是金属，采矿和混合物，它将支持 许多机械和人口为基础的研究。NM-INSPIRES的独特之处在于它将利用几个 在美洲原住民人群中进行的研究，并将扩展到中心研究者的新机会， 利用UNM金属超级基金中心的现有专业知识，纳瓦霍出生队列研究（NBCS） 环境对儿童健康结果的影响（ECHO）和当地环境健康公平性 中心NM-INSPIRES中心将为中心和早期研究者提供重要价值 成员谁可能会或可能不会与这些其他计划，并由NIEHS和 国家卫生研究院该中心将为整个四个象限的新参与社区提供重大利益 我们的国家，包括在西南新墨西哥州的社区接近活跃的采矿，社区， 新墨西哥州东南部靠近石油/天然气开发，包括水力压裂和美墨边境卫生 有空气质量问题的社区。根据目前资助的项目，该中心由成员组织 分为四个研究重点小组（RFG），包括1）环境癌症，2）免疫学，炎症， 和传染病，3）吸入和心脏毒理学，以及4）通信和 执行科学（CIS）。CIS RFG是一种特别新颖的方法， 中心，特别是与社区参与核心（CEC），与我们的多元化沟通 通过文化上适当的多模式外联战略，包括艺术和社交媒体，向社区提供援助。的 中心将通过其综合健康科学中心（Integrated Health Sciences FC）提供有价值和必要的设施核心（FC）服务 （IHSFC），生物分析化学FC（BACC），生物统计和数据科学核心（BDSC）和CEC。的 中心将实施一项实质性的试点项目计划，使研究者能够对新的 想法和研究，以追求新的研究赠款。该中心的高度综合性将促进小说 和创新的研究项目，包括社区提出的项目。两者都会有 将在全年评估中心成功的定量和定性衡量标准， 每年报告。通过行政核心和RFG充满活力和鼓舞人心的领导， NM-INSPIRES将建立研究能力，吸引新的研究人员进入环境健康研究，培训 下一代的科学家和环境卫生工作者，并使我们的多样化和独特的 社区.

NM-INSPIRES Overall Project Summary This NIEHS P30 Core Center will support basic and translational research pertaining to environmentally induced diseases. NM-INSPIRES will engage unique and diverse populations through multi-directional communication and programs. The Center's theme is Metals, Mining, and Mixtures, and it will support numerous mechanistic and population-based studies. NM-INSPIRES is unique in that it will leverage several ongoing studies in Native American populations and will extend to Center Investigators novel opportunities to leverage current expertise in the UNM Metals Superfund Center, Navajo Birth Cohort Study (NBCS) Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO), and the Native Environmental Health Equity Center. The NM-INSPIRES Center will provide significant value to Center and early stage investigators members who may or may not be associated with these other programs and are well-funded by NIEHS and NIH. The Center will provide significant benefit to newly engaged communities throughout the four quadrants of our state, including communities in Southwestern NM in proximity to active mining, communities in Southeastern NM in proximity to oil/gas development including fracking, and US-Mexico Border Health Communities with air quality issues. Based on currently funded programs, the Center is organized by members into four Research Focus Groups (RFGs) including 1) Environmental Cancer, 2) Immunology, Inflammation, and Infectious Diseases, 3) Inhalation and Cardiopulmonary Toxicology, and 4) Communication and Implementation Sciences (CIS). The CIS RFG is a particularly novel approach that will work throughout the Center and especially with the Community Engagement Core (CEC), to communicate with our diverse communities through culturally appropriate multi-modal outreach strategies, including art and social media. The Center will provide valuable and needed facility core (FC) services through its Integrated Health Sciences FC (IHSFC), BioAnalytical Chemistry FC (BACC), Biostatistics and Data Sciences Core (BDSC), and CEC. The Center will operate a substantial Pilot Project program that will enable investigators to take action on novel ideas and studies to pursue new research grants. The highly integrated nature of the Center will foster novel and innovative research projects, including those brought forward from communities. There will be both quantitative and qualitative measures of success for the Center that will be assessed throughout the year and reported annually. Through the dynamic and inspirational leadership of the Administrative Core and RFGs, NM-INSPIRES will build research capacity, attract new investigators into environmental health research, train the next generation of scientists and environmental health workers, and engage our diverse and unique communities.
