State Biomonitoring Programs: Assessing disproportionate exposure to environmental chemicals among communities

may propose biomonitoring activities based on one or both of the following strategies to complete during a 3-year funding cycle. 1. Community biomonitoring investigations which can be a new investigation in an affected community or surveillance activities in a previously exposed community, 2. State-wide population surveillance with oversampling of a minority group disproportionately affected by harmful chemical exposure. Recipient activities will include biomonitoring to assess exposures of concern, enhancement of laboratory capability/expertise, coordination/collaboration with partners to improve exposure investigations, and reporting of findings to key audiences.
