Description
This Environmental Health Specialists Network (EHS-Net) research opportunity seeks to develop and sustain a network of environmental health program staff, in collaboration with epidemiologists and other public health professionals to: (1) Work together to develop and conduct research that identifies foodborne illness risk factors in retail food establishments and ways to reduce those risk factors; (2) Conduct foodborne outbreak investigations that identify the risk factors that led to the outbreaks; and (3) Improve environmental health practice in the area of retail food safety. This research opportunity will require three primary activities for those sites participating in EHS-Net. These are: (1) Identifying and conducting multi-site retail food safety practice-based research projects; all EHS-Net sites will participate in developing and conducting these projects; (2) Identifying and conducting single-site retail food safety practice-based projects; these projects will be unique to each site and will address the needs and priorities of the site; and (3) Collecting and reporting data from the environmental health component of foodborne outbreak investigations to the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH)'s National Environmental Assessment Reporting System (NEARS). These data, when aggregated and analyzed, provide valuable information about the causes and prevention of foodborne illness outbreaks.
