Exposure Analysis Services for the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program (Admin Supp)

 描述(由申请人提供)：国家环境健康科学研究所(NIEHS)正在建立一个基础设施--儿童健康暴露分析资源(CHEAR)，为校外研究界提供实验室和统计分析，以增加或扩大他们研究中的环境暴露。CHEAR将由三个部分组成：一个协调中心(CC)，一个国家暴露评估实验室网络，以及一个暴露数据储存库和统计分析和方法开发资源。该项目将实施CC for CHEAR。CHEAR将为接触科学和儿童健康研究社区提供一系列复杂的实验室分析和数据服务。CC的主要目标是为研究人员提供一个方便和统一的接口，以访问这个复杂网络的可用服务。协调委员会将为研究人员创建和维护一个全面的CHEAR实验室和数据服务、方法和专门知识索引；提供一个公共网站，作为研究人员获取有关CHEAR能力的信息和发起利用CHEAR资源的提案的主要手段；建立和管理提案提交和评估流程；监测已批准提案的进度并跟踪服务工作流程；确定衡量CHEAR绩效的质量标准；支持实验室分析和流程的标准化；组织和支持CHEAR监督委员会；建立和管理试点和可行性方案；为CHEAR制定战略沟通计划；确定对接触科学和儿童健康研究感兴趣的外部资源；并利用CHEAR公共网站和社交媒体促进与更广泛的科学界的交流。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is establishing an infrastructure, the Children's Health Exposure Analysis Resource (CHEAR), to provide the extramural research community access to laboratory and statistical analyses to add or expand the inclusion of environmental exposures in their research. CHEAR will be composed of three components: a Coordinating Center (CC), a National Exposure Assessment Laboratory Network, and an Exposure Data Repository and Resource for Statistical Analysis and Methods Development. This project will implement the CC for CHEAR. CHEAR will provide a range of sophisticated laboratory analyses and data services to the exposure science and children's health research community. The main goal of the CC is to provide researchers with a convenient and unified interface to access the available services of this complex network. The CC will create and maintain a comprehensive index of CHEAR laboratory and data services, methodologies, and expertise available to researchers; provide a public website as the primary means for researchers to access information about CHEAR's capabilities and initiate proposals to use CHEAR's resources; establish and manage processes for proposal submission and evaluation; monitor the progress of approved proposals and track services workflow; define the quality standards by which the performance of CHEAR will be measured; support the standardization of laboratory analyses and processes; organize and support CHEAR oversight committees; establish and manage a Pilot and Feasibility Program; develop a strategic communication plan for CHEAR; identify external resources of interest to exposure science and children's health research; and leverage the CHEAR public website and social media to facilitate communication with the broader scientific community.
