NIEHS and NSF will collaboratively support Centers that include a minimum of three research projects, a CEC, and an Administrative Core. COHH4 awards will be expected to create an environment conducive to interdisciplinary and reciprocally beneficial collaborations among biomedical scientists (e.g., epidemiologists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, microbiologists, cell and molecular biologists) and ocean scientists or limnologists (e.g., biological and physical oceanographers, geochemists, and ecologists) with the common goal of improving our knowledge of the impacts of the ocean and Great Lakes on human health. The Center should include at least one project on human health and toxicity, and at least one project that uses oceanographic and marine science approaches to characterize oceans or Great Lakes exposures. Each project should describe distinct goals that are integrated into the overall theme of the Center. At least one of the three required projects should explore the influence of climate change on existing or emerging public health risks.
