... To envision a future research government, academia, and community and nonprofit enterprise that integrates environmental health sciences, organizations with expertise in environmental health biomedical science, prevention research, and disease- sciences, environmental justice, social and behavioral specific research across the continuum from fundamental sciences, biomedical science, public health, and policy. discovery research through the application of this This Proceedings of a Workshop -- in Brief provides the research to population health, the National Academies of rapporteur's high-level summary of the topics addressed Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosted a workshop in the workshop, including participants' suggestions for titled Towards a Future of Environmental Health Sciences advancing research, improving models, and approaches on April 26–27, 2022.

... The workshop was organized under the translational research, and equity. While the traditional purview of the National Academies' Standing Committee environmental health paradigm connects the dots on the Use of Emerging Science for Environmental between hazards exposures and the development Health Decisions, which examines issues regarding the of disease, Malecki said that emerging tools and use of new science, tools, and research methodologies technologies open opportunities to consider more for environmental health decisions.

... He said to move from the science and inform decision making, Marvel added traditional chemical risk assessment paradigm toward that it will be important to have effective dialogue a more complex view that incorporates non-chemical between climate scientists and the environmental health stressors, it will be useful to define the constellation of community to help identify what questions physical environmental and social factors relevant to identifying scientists should focus on. "vulnerable" phenotypes, which in turn helps to identify groups that experience accelerated aging and health The panelists discussed the evolving conceptions of what disparities.

Pointing to her work with approaches that may help to address opportunities and Hispanic communities, Rios underscored the need for challenges in integrating environmental and exposures policies to reduce exposures and increase the involvement data into precision medicine.

... This could entail bringing together engage with researchers and public health organizations stakeholders who have an interest in the problem, as also requires building trust, which can pose special well as using traditional media, social media, and other challenges for communities that have historically faced channels to amplify the voices and concerns of those discrimination in science and health care. To build that stakeholders.

... To track these impacts of community science models in which community at the local scale and enable better surveillance for organizations play a lead role in identifying the key early detection of emerging infectious diseases, Johnson questions to ask, collecting actionable data, and using said it will be important to closely integrate animal, that data to press for change. Drawing knowledge and human, and environmental research, taking advantage data from the residents living in a community can help of technological innovations such as precision medicine to fill gaps in understanding the impacts of climate and and remote data collection and emphasizing community- other stressors and inform solutions, she said.

Osborne Jelks stressed the importance of capacity opportunities for partnerships -- including purposeful building within communities, which requires sustained engagement with communities -- to study the influence funding to support community organizations that work of the environment on the etiology of human disease, collaboratively with academic researchers and public adding that this now extends beyond the "usual health practitioners, not only through sub awards but suspects" to include social determinants of health. The also through sizeable and direct grants.
