Introduction to the SWEHSC
The Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center (SWEHSC) serves as a platform to promote the study of health effects of environmental agents through interdisciplinary research collaborations driven by cutting-edge technologies.

Research in the SWEHSC is focus on mechanisms of action of environmental agents in living systems. This theme reflects the unique strengths and expertise of SWEHSC investigators and the direction in which the SWEHSC will have its greatest long-term impact on the environmental health sciences.

The SWEHSC -
* Integrates member-investigators into Research Cores, which foster interdisciplinary research in specific research problems.

* Supports shared Facility Cores, which make available unique experimental tools and cutting-edge technologies.

* Pilot Projects, research seminars and workshops to attract new investigators, promote new collaborations, and provide educational opportunities for members.

* Is a vehicle to translate research advancements in the environmental health sciences into education and the community at large.

* Supports a Community Outreach and Education Program (COEP), which develops educational tools to integrate environmental Health Sciences into K-12 education and to promote community understanding of the health impact of the environment.
