The research at RSSPD is “secondary research,” in other words performs systematic literature searches and reviews. OCHP does not conduct laboratory research.

Further, the project provides training in current and emerging children’s environmental health issues and an opportunity to develop projects to contribute to the resolution of one or more of these issues. The participant may be involved in the following training activities: Providing critical review of CEH, including potential exposures and health effects, in agency actions such as risk assessment and rulemaking as part of a team Conducting literature reviews, conducting analyses/synthesis of data, and preparing scientific text and other materials for EPA reports, scientific journal articles, or other publications related to CEH Researching and analyzing children’s environmental, health and biomonitoring indicator data Attending and presenting at scientific conferences related to CEH Developing one or more individual projects to address an emerging or current CEH issue based on professional training and interest The participant will have access to a team of experts collaborating within the agency and across the government, as well as with outside experts and stakeholders, on issues related to children’s environmental health. OCHP will review all completed research products for adherence to principles and policies, quality, and soundness of scientific conclusions. Learning Objectives: With guidance from an OCHP mentor and other team members, the participant will gain experience in children’s environmental health (CEH), the use of scientific evidence to inform EPA decision-making, principles of risk assessment and EPA laws and regulations.
