In addition, FOAs are being released to solicit  a National Exposure Assessment Laboratory Network and an Exposure Data Repository and Resource for Statistical Analysis and Methods Development.  

 

The CHEAR Coordinating Center (U24) will serve as the administrative hub and external access point for CHEAR, managing the flow of materials, data, and analyses between CHEAR units and participating investigators.  In addition, the coordinating center will also support administrative functions such as convening steering committee and CHEAR meetings, and organize communication and outreach activities.
