It is widely recognized as the nation’s leading voice for children’s environmental health at school. As an EPA and CDC partner, its expertise is also recognized by Congress, NGOs, university centers, NGOs, and the media.

It promotes collaborative research and policy development, and advanced systemic reforms in three core areas defining children’s environmental health at school:

  1. Environmental public health services for children at risk or with suspected exposures at school.
