Our mission is to address the environmental health concerns of all New Jersey residents by centering our efforts on its most affected populations. We engage community members, organizations, and agencies as advisors and partners through all stages of our research, provide critical investment and infrastructure for multidisciplinary collaborative research, and train the next generation of environmental health scientists.

CEED & the Community

The overarching goal of the CEED Community Engagement Core (CEC) is to support the strategic vision of CEED to address the environmental health concerns of all NJ residents by centering our efforts on its most affected populations. To address the environmental health concerns of New Jersey residents, our Community Engagement Core works with communities and researchers to characterize the health risks that people face in their daily lives, translate existing research evidence to action to reduce exposure and risks, and identify new research directions that are aligned with community environmental health needs.

Center Cores

The Pilot Project Program (PPP) supports the CEED strategic vision by developing new research areas, attracting new and established scientists to environmental health research, fostering the careers of early career investigators, catalyzing community collaborations, growing CEED’s funding base, and enhancing our strengths in innovative, impactful environmental health research. Through the Pilot Project Program, CEED can maintain its focus on high-quality science, cutting-edge innovation, and productive interactions with the communities it serves.  A major focus of the program is to support the CEED vision of an increase in community-centered environmental health research.
