2023 Regional ISEE NAC Meeting, Corvallis, OR

项目摘要 国际环境流行病学学会（ISEE）北美分会（NAC） ISEE理事会于2019年1月成立。其使命是促进和加强科学 环境流行病学研究，重点是北美国家，考虑到 该区域各国所特有的以及ISEE所面临的各种问题 世界各地的成员。具体而言，国家行动委员会通过以下方式支持ISEE的使命：（1）促进科学研究 （2）鼓励环境卫生，特别是环境流行病学方面的合作; 区域内机构间的研究人员;（3）从事教育，培训和职业 环境流行病学的发展;（4）弥合研究发现之间的差距 并转化为公共卫生政策。因此，新议程使命的一个组成部分是召开一次区域会议， 在那里，成员可以互动，相互学习，并形成合作，除了每年的 全球ISEE会议。我们正在组织将于6月举行的首次ISEE NAC区域会议 2023年在科瓦利斯，或。这次会议将为交流意见和 解决北美紧迫的环境健康问题的潜在方案。我们的目标是这次会议 将为环境流行病学家，监管人员， 和公共卫生专业人员介绍他们的工作，发展新的合作，并进行互动， 解决新出现的环境卫生问题。重要的是，它还将提供培训，教育， 和初级调查员的关系网会议的主题是环境正义， 气候联系，关注当今北美的两个紧迫问题：健康和暴露 差距和气候危机。本次会议预计将：（1）突出ISEE NAC相关研究， 环境正义和气候变化流行病学;（2）将环境健康 来自美国和加拿大的科学家推动政策相关研究;以及（3） 为环境领域的初级调查人员创造网络和专业发展机会 流行病学我们的一个持续目标是增加我们成员的多样性。所以我们 建议将所要求的资金主要用于选定与会者的差旅费，强调尽早- 职业人士和来自历史上代表性不足的群体的参与者。此外，我们还将 向主旨发言人（Cardenas、Garcia、González、James-Todd博士）提供发言费。的 拟议的资金将大大提高ISEE NAC会议的可及性和包容性， 多样化的对话和讨论的科学，并提高我们的能力，将研究转化为 有意义和公平的政策。

Project Summary The North American Chapter (NAC) of the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE) was established by the ISEE Council in January 2019. Its mission is to promote and strengthen scientific research in environmental epidemiology, with a focus on the countries within North America, considering the wide range of issues that are both specific to countries in the region and to those faced by ISEE members worldwide. Specifically, NAC supports the ISEE mission by (1) promoting scientific research on environmental health, especially environmental epidemiology; (2) encouraging the collaboration of researchers between institutions within the region; (3) engaging in education, training, and career development in environmental epidemiology; (4) bridging the gap between the discoveries of research and translation into public health policy. Integral to the NAC mission, therefore, is a regional meeting where members can interact, learn from one another, and form collaborations, in addition to the annual global ISEE meeting. We are organizing the first-ever ISEE NAC regional meeting, to be held in June 2023 in Corvallis, OR. This meeting will provide the space and opportunity for the exchange of ideas and potential solutions to pressing environmental health issues in North America. Our goal is that this meeting will provide a unique forum for a cross-section of environmental epidemiologists, regulatory personnel, and public health professionals to present their work, develop new collaborations, and interact to discern solutions to emerging environmental health issues. Importantly, it will also provide training, educational, and networking for junior investigators. The theme of the conference is Environmental Justice and Climate Connections, focusing on two pressing issues in North America today: health and exposure disparities and the climate crisis. This meeting is expected to: (1) highlight ISEE NAC research related to environmental justice and climate change epidemiology; (2) bring together environmental health scientists from across the United States and Canada to move forward policy-relevant research; and (3) create networking and professional development opportunities for junior investigators in environmental epidemiology. One of our continuing goals is to increase the diversity of our membership. Therefore, we propose to use the requested funds primarily for travel awards for selected attendees, emphasizing early- career individuals and participants from historically underrepresented groups. In addition, we will also provide speaker fees to the keynote speakers (Drs. Cardenas, Garcia, González, James-Todd). The proposed funds will significantly improve accessibility to and inclusivity of the ISEE NAC conference, diversify conversations and discussed science, and enhance our ability to translate research into meaningful and equitable policy.
