Extreme Weather, Climate, and Health: Putting Science into Practice

January 30 - 31, 2013

Summary

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), in coordination with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Public Health Association (APHA), National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), and Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), hosted a meeting to bring together NIH and CDC academic, state and city grantees working on Climate Change and Health projects to present their latest findings and discuss strategies for linking science to practice. This meeting also served as a unique opportunity to raise awareness of the excellent work our grantees are conducting across HHS.
