The Integrative Health Sciences Facility Core (IHSFC) will facilitate clinical investigations thatenhance both forward and back translational research of environmental factors in diseasecausation.The overall objectives of the IHSFC will be accomplished through expert consultation services inmedicine, epidemiology, statistics, exposure assessment, informatics tools, and Forth and Back clinicalresearch conferences that will highlight the opportunities for translational research in environmentalhealth. Through providing these services and access to technologies, this Core will foster research thatintegrates basic science with clinical research and public health. The goal of the Core is to acceleratethe transfer of basic biomedical knowledge from the laboratory to clinical applications inprevention, early detection, and new treatments and, ultimately, to prolong and enhance life. TheIHSFC programs and activities we propose also will foster greater ease in taking clinical findings or publichealth observations back to the basic science laboratory.We will capitalize on the potential for synergy between the activities of the IHSFC and other CEG activitiessuch as the Career Development Program (CDP). As an example, the IHSFC can provide a stream ofexpert knowledge to both the Next-generation Biomedical Investigators (NGBI) and the Masters of ScienceClinical Researcher (MSCR). The IHSFC will act as liaison to all other CEG service Cores (BioinformaticsCore and Integrative Technology Support Core) and services available within the University of CincinnatiMedical Center (UCMC) (General Clinical Research Center, Environmental Laboratory, TissueProcurement, Metallomics Center) to help provide a coordinated and systematic approach to questionsconcerning translational biomedical research.
