Children's Environmental Health and Safety Inventory of Research (CHEHSIR)

The NIEHS is pleased to introduce CHEHSIR, a publicly accessible database created and maintained in response to presidential Executive Order 13045 "Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risk." CHEHSIR's purpose is to ensure that federal research agencies, researchers at universities, community groups, and the public have access to information on all research conducted or funded by the federal government that is related to the adverse health risks for children resulting from exposure to environmental agents and safety risks. CHEHSIR was created through a multiagency working group of the Task Force on Children's Health and Safety Risk. It contains information on federally funded grants, cooperative research agreements, contracts, interagency research agreements, and intramural research projects.
