Announcements Follow us: Thank you to everyone who participated in the recent membership survey. Here are the results from the survey (past members, current members, and student members). These results will be used to assist with the organization's strategic planning. To learn more about the organization's strategic planning, please attend the ISEE membership meeting in Rome. Members of the ISEE Policy Committee recently provided feedback and suggestions to the World Health Organization (WHO) with regards to several areas related to environmental health. Among the topics discussed at the 69th World Health Assembly in Geneva in May 2016, a report on Ending Childhood Obesity was presented. While ISEE commended WHO for the quality of their report, the Policy Committee recommended that in addition to the well-known role of physical activity and diet on the development of obesity, the emerging evidence regarding the role of some chemicals as obesogens should be highlighted. See our full comments here. ISEE also offered strong support for the WHO road map on atmospheric pollution, as detailed here. Finally, the Policy Committee offered advice on the role of the health sector in the sound management of chemicals, as detailed here. The Gulf Research Program & Robert Wood Johnson Foundation are committing $10 million to enhancing coastal community resilience. There is a need for researchers and community members working across the boundaries of science and practice and of society and the environment to advance our understanding of what makes and keeps Gulf communities resilient, healthy, and thriving. Funding is being provided for projects that explore the human dynamics of resilience. Apply for a grant today.
