The newly established Center for Environmental Health and Technology (CEHT) at Brown was created as an interdisciplinary science-based and community-active Center that is home to the NIEHS-funded Superfund Basic Research Program (SBRP). The CEHT is intended to build upon this base by catalyzing research that addresses environmental problems across the entire University, facilitating the translation of this research into practical, measurable improvements in environmental health and in the identification and remediation of hazardous environmental contamination in Rhode Island.
