Community Engagement Core (CEC) The CHARMED Community Engagement Core (CEC) serves as the conduit for community engagement and research, fostering synergy between communities, CHARMED investigators, and other stakeholders to fulfill a shared mission of reducing community-identified environmental health concerns. The CEC builds upon existing partnerships in the Maryland region (DelMarVa, Washington D.C., and southern Pennsylvania) focused on community, social, and environmental , determinants of health. Community concerns include historical and ongoing challenges with air, water, and soil quality, solid and hazardous waste management, aging infrastructure, transportationenergy infrastructure, goods movement, and land use and development. The CHARMED CEC convenes the CHARMED Stakeholder Board – a space for knowledge sharing and active collaboration between community members, community-based and nonprofit organizations, local schools, academic research, and governmental and regulatory groups around environmental health and justice. Community partners host graciously host monthly CHARMED Stakeholder Board meetings to discuss current environmental health concerns in the MD region. The CHARMED CEC helps to: Train the next generation of leaders to conduct responsive, environmental health community-engaged research (CEnR); Increase faculty capacity to understand and conduct translational CEnR; Sustain existing and newly established, multi-directional CEnR partnerships; Deliver educational and translational materials that improve environmental health literacy among community and stakeholder groups; and Co-generate knowledge that can reduce community environmental exposures and ultimately improve community health outcomes.

Exposure Characterization and Modeling Core (ECMC) The goal of the Exposure Characterization and Modeling Core (ECMC) is to understand how exposures to environmental factors can impact the health of communities and to translate our findings into action to protect and promote the health and well-being of vulnerable communities in the CHARMED region. We will provide researchers and their community partners with expertise to deploy appropriate exposure assessment technologies, cutting-edge characterization facilities for environmental samples, state-of-the-art spatiotemporal modeling capability, and consulting services for interpreting exposure data. How can the ECMC support researchers? The ECMC provides comprehensive infrastructure for exposure assessment in air, water, and biological samples. We will provide consultation and guidance to determine measurement needs, deploy appropriate sampling methodology, analyze samples, conduct statistical data analysis, and facilitate results interpretation. We can also work with researchers to develop new and innovative exposure assessment solutions to address emerging problems. For laboratory-based researchers, we can help with establishing protocols for exposure assessment in cellular or animal models. Finally, for projects where measurements may not be the best approach, we can help with modeling of exposures through air quality models, spatial statistics, and other tools. How can the ECMC support communities? We can connect you with researchers to address environmental exposures of concern in your community. We can help deploy lower-cost sensor networks, collect samples for detailed chemical analysis, or develop models to estimate exposures under different scenarios.
