Environmental Health Disparities & Environmental Justice Faculty

Established October 2020, the NIEHS Environmental Health Disparities and Environmental Justice (EHD-EJ) Faculty focuses on advancing the institute’s priorities in environmental racism, EHD, and EJ.

Mission

To advance our understanding of EHD-EJ and promote environmental health equity. EHD and EJ are priority areas in the 2025-2029 strategic plan.

Actions

Develop proposals for implementation across NIEHS and beyond. Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Fostering the integration of multiple disciplines to study environmental racism, EHDs, and EJ.
  • Understanding the role of social determinants of health (e.g., discrimination, stigma, access to a clean environment, heathy food, wealth, and health care) and how they relate to environmental exposures in communities and susceptibilities to common chronic diseases.
  • Promoting translational opportunities for EHD-EJ prevention/intervention.
  • Raising the profile of EHD, EJ, and all health disparities research across NIEHS and NIH.
