Presenting Sponsors

The Ohio Healthy Homes Network (OHHN) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that promotes healthy, safe and affordable housing for people of all ages. OHHN holds spring and fall forums, publishes a monthly newsletter, advocates for state and federal policies that promote healthy housing, conducts outreach on health and safety hazards in the home, and maintains a robust website on lead and other home health hazards, including a directory of resources by county for lead hazard control, home repair/accessibility modifications, housing rehab and weatherization.

The mission of the Center for Environmental Genetics (CEG) at the University of Cincinnati is to understand how genetic/epigenetic variability influences disease risk and health outcomes in response to chronic and/or acute exposure(s) to environmental agents, in the presence of developmental or lifestyle modifiers, with the ultimate aim of preventing human disease and disability and improving individual and population health.

The Community Outreach and Engagement Core (COEC) of CEG works to translate environmental health science into useable information about health promotion and disease prevention.  It provides tools and resources for community members, educators, public health decision-makers, and health care professionals.

The Center for Clinical and Translational Science and Training (CCTST) was established by the UC College of Medicine in October 2005. The CCTST serves UC, its Academic Health Center and the Community by:

• Providing consultation to investigators on research design and implentation through Research Central
• Providing support for young investigators (faculty and fellows) in clinical and translational research through help in preparing career development awards (e.g. K23; timeline)
• Assisting young faculty in careers in clinical and translational research
• Assisting faculty in preparing large multidisciplinary, multi-school, and multi-institutional grants
• Helping individual divisions and department to prepare proposals for T32 and similar training grants
• Spearheading efforts to write institutional training grants
• Coordinating clinical and translational research
• Coordinating the MS in Clinical and Translational Research Training Program. A Certificate in Clinical and Translational Research is also offered.
