National Institute of Environmental 

Health Sciences (NIEHS); Workshop: 

Children’s Environmental Health: Past, 

Present and Future Research 

Strategies 

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health 

(NIH), HHS. 

ACTION: Workshop Announcement. 

SUMMARY: On January 22–23, 2007, the 

NIEHS is hosting a workshop titled 

‘‘Children’s Environmental Health 

Research: Past, Present, and Future.’’

The goal of this workshop is to develop 

new strategies for research, exposure 

and effects monitoring, intervention and 

prevention in children’s environmental 

health. Specific objectives are to 

maximize the effectiveness of scientific 

research—basic science, exposure 

monitoring/biomonitoring, 

epidemiology, toxicology, clinical 

medicine and multidisciplinary 

studies—and to enhance the translation 

of research to the bedside, to the 

community and to public policy. This 

meeting is open to the public with 

attendance limited only by the space 

available. Time will be set aside for 

public discussion. Additional 

information about the workshop and online registration are available from the 

NIEHS Web site at http:// 

www.apps.niehs.nih.gov/conferences/ 

od/cehr/. 

The first day will begin with 

discussions of two case studies that 

demonstrate the successful 

implementation of evidence-based 

intervention/prevention strategies that 

became possible once links between 

environmental exposures and a disease 

in children had been identified. The 

first case study will focus on lead and 

neurotoxicity. Findings on the adverse 

effects of lead on neurodevelopment 

ultimately led to efforts to reduce 

exposures to lead. Asthma will be used 

as a second case study because it 

provides a clear example of 

environmental triggers and some 

science-based prevention/intervention 

strategies that are already being 

implemented. The second day of the 

workshop will focus on applying 

lessons learned from the two ‘‘success’’
