The Caribbean Consortium for Research in Environmental and Occupational Health
The Caribbean Consortium for Research in Environmental and Occupational Health (CCREOH) addresses high-priority environmental and occupational health risks in Suriname and those common to the Caribbean region, while preserving unique cultural traditions of indigenous people and other health disparate populations. The linked research and research training projects focus on neurotoxicant exposure and maternal and child health, and strengthening research and training partnerships in Suriname and the Caribbean region. CCREOH is an Interdisciplinary Research and Training in Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth) Hub funded by the NIH Fogarty International Center.

University of Pittsburgh Asthma and Environmental Lung Health Institute
The Asthma & Environmental Lung Health Institute (AELHI), a joint effort of the Department of Medicine/School of Medicine and the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health is committed to improving the lives of patients with environmentally associated lung diseases through community engagement, clinical care, epidemiologic and observational studies, as well as clinical trials. It is anchored by a regional asthma research registry which serves as a two-way research and educational link between the scientific community and patients with asthma across western Pennsylvania. The diverse faculty of the AEHLI are experts in asthma clinical care, but also participate in community outreach and cutting-edge research on asthma and other environmentally-associated lung diseases.
