The Project Grant award P20ES036775, funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program, provides $1,270,897 to establish the Research and Engagement for Action on Climate and Health (REACH) Center. The REACH Center is a new multi-institutional partnership that leverages expertise in public health, medicine, public policy, earth/atmospheric sciences, and environmental justice to bridge big data to climate solutions that advance health and environmental justice. The Center will generate new knowledge through discovery and applied research, particularly using geospatial data, to understand the complex interactions between climate and health and design approaches for protecting public health under future climate change. The REACH Center includes a Developmental Core to foster new research infrastructure, a Community Engagement Core to drive health-protective and equitable climate solutions, and an Exposure Assessment Core to improve accessibility and interpretability of climate and environmental data. Sub-awards totaling $1.2M were provided to the Environmental Defense Fund, George Mason University, and Howard University to support the Center's collaborative research and community engagement efforts.
