The Center for Children’s Health Assessment, Research Translation, and Combating Environmental Risk (CHARTER), works to develop effective strategies to translate research findings of importance to children’s environmental health to relevant stakeholders in the community, academia, and healthcare. We know that working with community partners is the key to developing communication products that can be used to improve children’s health.
Center Goals
- Serve as a catalyst for the development of innovative interdisciplinary translational research and communication strategies to improve children’s environmental health.
- Develop and innovate science and discovery relevant to the impact that environmental exposures have on children’s health to meet the needs of families in Atlanta and beyond.
- Foster and enhance partnerships between university researchers and communities, locally and nationally, to decrease environmental exposures and effectively translate impactful scientific findings, with the goal of reducing environmental risk and enhancing the health of children.
