SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background Information 

Over the past 30 years, the NIEHS has 

invested millions of dollars in 

children’s environmental health 

research. In order to maximize the 

effectiveness of current and future 

investments of human and financial 

resources, the Institute is conducting a 

review of the children’s environmental 

health programs. For the past eight 

years, the Institute has partnered with 

the EPA to support thirteen research 

centers devoted to children’s 

environmental health and disease 

prevention. The Children’s Centers 

draws upon the resources of community 

partners and the expertise of top 

universities and medical centers to 

focus on the important role that 

environmental toxicants play in the 

development of asthma, autism, and 

other childhood illnesses. The 

Children’s Centers are a prominent 

component of the research portfolio in 

children’s environmental health at both 

the NIEHS and EPA. As such, the 

NIEHS and EPA believe it is necessary 

to evaluate the program’s effectiveness 

as a mechanism to stimulate research in 

children’s environmental health. In 

addition, it is important to determine 

whether other approaches should be 

considered to advance children’s 

environmental health research and 

education. Supporting research that 

shows the greatest promise for rapidly 

identifying links between 

environmental exposures and childhood 

disorders and disease is a primary focus. 

Request for Comment 

At this time, the NIEHS seeks public 

comment on the working group report.

ORD and the NAEHS Council prior to 

discussion of the working group report 

at a public meeting on May 30–31, 2007.

to ensure adequate time for 

consideration prior to the May 30–31, 

2007 meeting, comments should be 

submitted by May 15, 2007. The NIEHS 

and the EPA will not respond to 

submitted comments; however, all 

comments will be considered by the 

NAEHS Council, NIEHS and the EPA in 

evaluating the best approaches for 

future funding of children’s 

environmental health research. Persons 

submitting comments should include
