Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Residents of Detroit and surrounding areas affected by environmental health concerns related to volatile organic chemicals and preterm birth risk.
✕Less likely to help
This core does not directly enroll patients; benefits come through improved community and policy engagement and downstream research.
What this research studies
The Administrative Core acts as the central coordinating body for the CLEAR Center, providing leadership, financial management, and effective communication among projects and cores. It helps translate research findings to community partners, government agencies, and stakeholders. The goal is to reduce the impact of volatile organic compounds on public and environmental health by guiding collaboration and ensuring that activities stay focused and impactful for Detroit families.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the center could improve awareness, leadership capacity, and coordinated efforts to reduce environmental risks contributing to preterm birth in the community.
How similar studies have gone: Past center-level coordination efforts have shown value in aligning multi-project research and translating findings to practice, with variable outcomes depending on engagement.
