The SWEHSC AC promotes research excellence in the environmental health sciences (EHS) by facilitating SWEHSC initiatives on the UAHS campus, statewide, nationally, and internationally. Indeed, several of the significant strengths highlighted throughout this application have been the direct result of the leadership of the SWEHSC AC, including our success in community outreach to native and Indigenous populations, the international recognition of our research focus area strengths, and the integration between our FCs and the research focus groups. The AC (i) provides an administrative framework to advance the intellectual and technological expertise of its members, (ii) provides leadership that creates an environment conducive to the development of interdisciplinary research, (iii) assists members in identifying translational research opportunities, and (iv) develops personal and professional opportunities for members to become national and international leaders in EHS.
