综合健康科学核心（IHSFC）：摘要 IHSFC是CEET研究人员进行转化环境健康研究的实体 影响到个人和社区。其使命包括：（1）支持基础科学的翻译 将环境暴露与不良后果相关的观察结果纳入人类研究， 和/或管理由这些暴露引起或加剧的疾病，以及（2）翻译 转化为可以通过人类研究来验证的假设。提供的服务 IHSFC对CEET的调查包括：（a）人类研究设计和性能服务，（B）人口 接触服务，（c）临床前和人体接触实验室，（d）CEET虚拟生物储存库， (e)生物统计服务。人口暴露服务现在拥有GIS技术、ArcGIS 工具，制图，地理空间分析，以衡量外部麻烦。基于人口科学 在研究设计中需要生物标志物支持的项目被称为翻译生物标志物核心， 那些在研究设计中产生“大数据”的人被称为暴露生物学信息学核心。的 IHSFC作为社区参与核心（CEC）的桥梁，以双向方式进行沟通 将基于社区的问题和关注事项制定为CEET调查人员的具体假设， 通过研究解决问题，并将研究结果反馈给社区成员。研究支持 包括那些涉及空气污染和肺部健康，环境， 暴露与癌症，易感性窗口和环境神经科学，以及新的研究 通过试点项目启动。在过去的四年里，IHSFC支持了51项独立的研究， 不同的CEET研究人员已经产生了46篇出版物。IHSFC的努力最终将导致 实现精确公共卫生（PPH）-预测谁有暴露风险，谁有疾病风险， 以及预测和预后生物标志物的鉴定。

INTEGRATIVE HEALTH SCIENCES FACILITY CORE (IHSFC): ABSTRACT The IHSFC is the entity that enables CEET investigators to perform translational environmental health research that impacts individuals and communities. Its mission includes (1) support of the translation of basic science observations that relate environmental exposures to adverse outcomes into human studies that detect, prevent and/or manage diseases induced or exacerbated by these exposures and (2) to translate EHS questions derived from the community into testable hypotheses that can be addressed with human studies. Services provided by the IHSFC to CEET investigators include: (a) Human Studies Design and Performance Services, (b) Population Exposure Services, (c) Pre-clinical and Human Exposure Laboratories, (d) the CEET Virtual Biorepository and (e) Biostatistics Services. The Population Exposure Services now has expertise in GIS technology, ArcGIS tools, cartographic mapping, geospatial analysis to measure the external exposome. Population science-based projects that require biomarker support in the study design are referred to the Translational Biomarker Core, and those that generate “big-data” in their study design are referred to the Exposure Biology Informatics Core. The IHSFC acts as a bridge to the Community Engagement Core (CEC) and communicates in a bi-directional manner to formulate community-based questions and concerns into specific hypotheses for CEET investigators to address by research and communicate results of the studies back to community members. Studies supported by the IHSFC include those involving the integrated thematic areas of Air Pollution & Lung Health, Environmental Exposures & Cancer, Windows-of-Susceptibility and Environmental Neuroscience, as well as novel studies initiated via pilot projects. Over the past four years, the IHSFC has supported 51 separate studies involving 28 different CEET investigators that have generated 46 publications. Efforts by the IHSFC will ultimately result in achieving Precision Public Health (PPH) - the prediction of who is at risk of exposure, who is at risk for disease, and the identification of predictive and prognostic biomarkers.
