It will also address solutions at the local, state and regional level, as well as highlight grassroots efforts and community-academic partnerships in the state to address environmental injustice and environmental health disparities. The CAPs conference and summit will offer a variety of traditional sessions including posters, concurrent and plenary sessions as well as professional development training sessions for a diverse audience including community leaders, health practitioners, academicians, policymakers, and students. The conference has as its aims to: 1) educate conference participants about research on environmental public health and social justice issues in the state of South Carolina; 2) increase collaborations between community groups, health professionals, and academicians to study and address environmental justice and health issues in the state of South Carolina; 3) provide a forum for dissemination of results about research on environmental injustice and environmental health disparities in the state of South Carolina; and 4) educate students especially those from underserved and people of color communities about environmental health sciences, environmental justice issues, and environmental health disparities.
