A Collaborative Experience

This proposal builds on ten years of collaborative activities between Emory University and U. Chile through the Fogarty International Training and Research in Environmental and Occupational Health (ITREOH) program, and five years with University of Georgia (UGA) joining on the Fogarty grant. This work has been quite productive, resulting in training numerous people successfully.

Our ITREOH work also led to the completion of a number of projects which resulted in peer-reviewed publications. There is a proven infra-structure at the School of Public Health in Chile, and a core of investigators, that can serve as a strong basis for a regional hub.
