The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) a $558,380 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) to develop an integrated biomedical knowledgebase and geospatial data science ecosystem called GEOSPACE. The goal of this 4-year project is to create a curated database of high-confidence environmental exposure data and link it to biological pathways and health outcomes to facilitate exposomics research. Key project objectives include: 1) Developing a geospatial database of curated exposure datasets (GSEDB) focused on priority exposures like PM2.5, air temperature, and greenness; 2) Creating a geospatial data interpretation resource (GSDIR) to connect the environmental exposures to relevant biological and health data; and 3) Delivering the GEOSPACE exposome workspace to allow researchers to intuitively query the GSEDB and GSDIR. This project aims to address critical research gaps in the exposomics field by providing a curated, authoritative database of environmental exposures and their health effects.
