Abstract
The Center for Healthy Environments and Equity Research (CHEER) is a multidisciplinary, intersectional and community-based environmental health research program focused on identifying and addressing environmental health disparities (EHD) – which have a major impact on the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. CHEER is rallying around a core of forward-thinking and passionate faculty, students and community partners to create research that addresses extensive EHD found across our region, the nation, and beyond. CHEER will take a life course perspective by focusing on areas with the greatest health inequities and use an "exposome" approach to investigate the social and environmental determinants of EHD. Exposomes, cumulative environmental health exposures and social stressors over a lifetime, require large sets of environmental and population data to understand and tackle. CHEER will use Momentum Funds to develop and implement new technologies to capture this data and build capacity in regional population health studies by quantifying environmental stressors that disproportionally affect underserved communities. Using innovative bioinformatic approaches, the large data set will be overlaid onto environmental and health data sets collected by CHEER investigators and community partners to identify and understand the source of health inequities. Ultimately, CHEER will create tools and science-based findings for community partners to inspire policies and interventions for more resilient, sustainable and healthy communities.
