## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY – Pilot Projects Program (PPP) 
The Pacific Northwest Center for Translational Environmental Health Research Pilot Projects Program (PPP) 
will make short-term investments to expand EHS research to improve our understanding of the relationships 
among environmental exposures, human biology, and disease. The PPP plays a central role within the Center 
and has an operating budget of $220,000 (22% of the Center's budget). This will allow the PPP to support at 
least 8 new environmental health science research projects per year (maximum of $25,000 per project). The 
PPP is embracing known strategies for promoting innovation and research translation in biomedical science. 
By soliciting applications for 3 different award types, the Center will accomplish the following aims: 1) Attract 
and support highly qualified new and mid-career scientists to enhance diversity of EHS research; 2) Promote 
innovation in EHS research by fostering communication, collaboration, methodological improvements, and 
agility to explore emerging environmental health issues; and 3) Accelerate research translation by building 
partnerships with stakeholders (e.g. health agencies, environmental regulators, community groups, non- 
profits, clinicians, manufacturers, pharmaceutical firms, or Tribes) to co-generate information that can lead to 
actionable EHS knowledge. These actions will not only advance discovery of how the environment affects 
human biology and health but also inform prevention and intervention strategies that can improve the health 
of individuals, communities, and populations.
