Capacity Building in Developing Countries Committee

This committee encourages and facilitates collaborative work between ISEE members in developing and developed countries. The Committee sponsors sessions at annual ISEE meetings and puts on environmental epidemiology workshops at meetings of other epidemiological organizations. It also supports training of members from developing countries and development of regional chapters or local groups. Committee members communicate and plan activities electronically and at annual meetings. A recently introduced program, ISEE AuthorAID, offers members from developing countries a way to request mentoring and receive help in getting their research published.

The ISEE Council is currently seeking a new chair for this committee.
