The National Institute of Environmental Health Science (NIEHS) awarded a R56 grant of nearly $600,000 to Professor Perry Hystad (PI) to further develop a climate-change and health study within the global Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study.

This research will assess climate-driven exposures for PURE communities using state-of-the-art geospatial assessment methods and determine the direct and indirect impacts of climate-driven exposures on diverse health outcomes.
