The Environmental Health Sciences Core Center at OSU has a long history of pioneering integrativeresearch in basic environmental health science that has translated to clinical research with far-reachingpublic health implications. During the most recent funding cycle, translational human clinical studiesinitiated by Center members include multiple approaches to cancer chemoprevention based on trout androdent models (Bailey, Dashwood, Ho, Williams). Other Center-initiated studies have assessed the effectof micronutrients on blood pressure parameters with a-lipoic acid-acetylcarnitine and Vitamin C (Hagen,Frei), studied vitamin E metabolism in smokers and ultramarathoners (Traber, Frei), and investigatedbiomarkers of protection and injury (Stevens, Beckman, Frei, Traber). There is strong interest amongCenter investigators in launching further small-scale human clinical research projects typically involving3-20 participants to translate the basic science accomplishments of the EHSC into clinically relevantresearch. Center members currently have ten funded human clinical studies awaiting implementation,two submitted for funding, and seven in the planning stages. The new Integrative Health SciencesFacility Core (IHSFC) has been implemented to meet this growing need and foster additionaltranslational researc
