SUPPORT OF COLLABORATIVE STUDIES OF EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS IN RELATION TO CHILD HEALTH IN THE GENERATION R STUDY

该合同支持NIEHS的研究人员与进行R世代研究的人员之间的科学合作。 Generation R研究之前收集了孕妇的多份尿液样本，并在6岁时对儿童进行了亲自评估。 在这个合作项目中，我们将选择尿液样本进行分析，分析样本，然后将结果与儿童发育相关，以确定背景水平暴露于环境污染物的不利影响。

The contract supports a scientific collaboration between investigators at NIEHS and those conducting the Generation R Study. The Generation R Study has previously collected multiple urine specimens from pregnant women and has followed the children with in-person assessments at age 6 years. In this collaborative project we will select urine specimens for analysis, get the specimens analyzed, and then relate the results to child development, to identify adverse effects, if any, of background-level exposure to environmental contaminants.
