Update Your Information
We are updating the CHHE website! We want to be sure that we have the current information about you up there. Please go the
website and check your information. Send any updates (including photos) to
Jackie Broughton. Also check to make sure you are in the Research Interest Group that you want to be in (you can be in more than one). We reorganized the RIGs when we submitted the renewal grant.

NC TraCS. Did you know that NC State faculty can utilize the resources of
NC TraCS at UNC? They offer small grants for clinical research, access to training about data collection and clinical research, resources such as RedCap for data management, and career development training.
They are hosting a training program for NIH R grants on
Oct 21 and 28. More information
here. You can also sign up for the
NC TraCS newsletter to learn about new opportunities.

Pulmonary Interest Group
The Pulmonary Interest Group will work to establish collaborations between basic and translational scientists and clinicians that are interested in understanding mechanisms behind environmental exposures and lung diseases. This group will hold meetings at both NCSU and ECU to facilitate exchange of ideas and expertise that will result in interdisciplinary groups that can apply for external funding opportunities.
Emerging Contaminants Interest Group
Are you studying PFAS, BMAA, green space, nanoparticles, other emerging topics of interest? If so, think about joining the Emerging Contaminants Research Interest Group.
Jane Hoppin
sent out a survey to help identify how we want to organize this group. If you didn't get the invite, or lost the link, here it is again:
