SPACES: Knowledge to Practice

Knowledge to Practice serves to:

• Be an informal review committee for work products developed by the forum participants and their collaborating partners;

• Develop policy briefs on topics of emerging importance;

• Be an author/review/comment entity for timely testimony and media statements to be used by Collaborative members;

• Be a forum for dialogue with researchers outside the Pittsburgh area regarding the details of their scientific investigations;

• Be an incubator of ideas for research grant funding opportunities;

• Cultivate ideas around broader environmental health impacts (e.g., cancer, reproductive/developmental effects).
