The central goal of the Superfund Basic Research and Training Program (SRP) is to understand and break the link between environmental exposure and disease. I am excited to announce this newsletter, the SRP Science Digest, to show how SRP researchers address this challenge from a variety of approaches and disciplines. We have compiled important SRP findings to show how the program is tackling related problems by combining the expertise of biomedical and environmental science and engineering disciplines. We also highlight the ways in which SRP staff and grantees share innovative findings and explain research emanating from the program.
