Description

The purpose of the ViCTER program is to foster and promote transdisciplinary collaborations and/or translational research efforts among basic (technology and mechanism oriented), clinical (patient-oriented) and population-based researchers and other individuals with expertise relevant to environmental health who have come together in common interest around a particular environmental stressor(s) of interest. For the purposes of this FOA, transdisciplinary research is defined as the use of cross-disciplinary methods, insights, and research approaches that would not have occurred with a traditional uni-disciplinary investigation and translational research is defined as research that stimulates the bidirectional flow of information across the spectrum of in vitro, model organisms and animal models, human populations or clinically-based research to provide data useful for the prevention of or the intervention in human disease.
