The University of Florida has received a 5-year, $652,915 Project Grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) to develop the SPACESCANS system. This innovative system will include an ontology-annotated knowledge graph of high-quality spatial and contextual exposome data, as well as a user-friendly data integration tool to guide researchers in linking this exposome data with their real-world observational data. SPACESCANS aims to generate analysis-ready datasets to advance research on how environmental exposures impact human health.
The project involves collaboration with sub-awardees Mayo Clinic and University of Texas Health Science Center. Mayo Clinic will lead efforts to develop semantic standards for the exposome data catalog, while UT Health will contribute to the standards development and integration with the data standardization framework and demonstration toolbox. Together, these partners will work to provide the research community with enhanced capabilities to systematically explore the role of spatial and contextual environmental exposures in human health and disease.
