Project Description
Suriname, a country in South America, faces a triple public health burden: high perinatal mortality, environmental contamination potentially related to growing mining and agricultural development, and a lack of environmental policies. To strengthen the country's capacity to address this burden, Tulane University's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine presents a research training grant entitled: Neurotoxicant Exposures: Impact on Maternal and Child Health in Suriname, that will implement short term training tailored to the research theme, Caribbean-wide professional development and policy workshops, certificate training in environmental health and industrial hygiene, graduate degrees in environmental and occupational health, and mentored research experiences.
