Mount Sinai Collaborates with RPI to Earn Prominent Role in New NIH CHEAR Program

Research teams from the Department of Preventive Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in collaboration with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), were recently awarded two grants from the NIH’s new Child Health Environmental Assessment Resource program (CHEAR) to study “exposomics,” the comprehensive study of environmental exposures in humans from conception through development. Mount Sinai is the only institution to receive grants for two of CHEAR’s three components.  The research teams from Mount Sinai are led by TCEEE members Dr. Robert Wright (Chair) and Dr. Susan Teitelbaum.
