The EHS FEST Sensors and Technologies Fair was an opportunity for more than 30 sensor and technology developers, funded by NIEHS and other agencies, to showcase their cutting-edge technologies and meet with leading scientists and end users in exposure science, environmental epidemiology, community research, and citizen science. Superfund Research Program (SRP) grantees have contributed to the following technologies highlighted at the fair. Visit the EHS FEST Fair Abstracts (794KB) for a full list and description of each highlighted technology.

SRP Grantees Well Represented at Film Festival

The EHS FEST Film Festival at the historic Carolina Theatre in Durham featured films developed by grantees, partners, and NIEHS staff. These films, selected from more than 40 submissions, raised awareness on a variety of environmental health topics and served as a unique opportunity to share environmental health messages with meeting participants and the community. Of the 18 films, five were submitted by SRP grantees and showcased SRP research and engagement activities. Links to the SRP films are listed below. Visit the EHS FEST Film Festival webpage for links to the other selections.

Poster Sessions

As part of two EHS FEST poster sessions, approximately 50 SRP postdoctoral researchers, principal investigators, and research translation and community engagement teams presented groundbreaking SRP-funded research. Visit the EHS FEST Poster Abstracts (1MB) for a full list.
