Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Seminar Series
Superfund Research Program
One of the core goals of the Superfund Research Program (SRP) is the translation of basic scientific research advances into regulatory, industrial, and public health practice. These outreach efforts include partnering with other federal agencies to communicate research findings, provide networking and collaboration opportunities, and discuss needs for future work. In October 2007, Fred Pfaender, Ph.D. of the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill SRP, presented a seminar to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) in Atlanta, Ga. The seminar, "Bioavailability as a Factor in Pollutant Exposure," was so well received that a full series of seminars was launched in 2008.
In 2013, SRP grantees will give seminars and then spend lunch and the afternoon discussing mutual research and applied environmental health interests with National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) / ATSDR scientists.
Questions? Contact Olivia Harris ( OHarris@cdc.gov ) in the NCEH/ATSDR Office of Science.
