TiCEREnhancing public health by identifying, understanding, and reducing adverse environmental health risks
Vision
The vision for the Texas A&M Center for Environmental Health Research (TiCER) is to nucleate environmental health research and translational activities of investigators around the overarching theme of “Innovative solutions for addressing exposure-stressor interactions”. Overall, TiCER will expand the established investigator base and expertise in cross-cutting environmental health science that can be deployed to increase the impact of environmental health research change in Texas and beyond.
Themes
TiCER is organized around two research themes to facilitate the exchange of ideas and the development of novel experimental approaches. Cross-disciplinary collaborations drive high-impact discoveries by identifying common exposure and disease interests, enabling integrated solutions such as coordinated research efforts, data-sharing frameworks, and joint intervention strategies.
Cores
The center also aims to enhance research capacity, integration, and translation by facilitating research across mechanistic, individual, and inter-individual scales with an integrated set of cores that bridge technologies, capabilities, and expertise.
Developing and disseminating novel and state-of-the-art data science interventions that support and integrate the Center’s scientific and outreach activities
Promoting interdisciplinary collaborations, by prioritizing high impact vouchers and delivering expert advice on experimental design and research compliance
Facilitating research that moves environmental health science from study to application

Pilot Projects
Through Pilot Projects, TiCER promotes new and innovative research motivated by community and stakeholder concerns from individual investigators or cross-disciplinary teams. The aim is to support junior faculty and stimulate new investigations by senior investigators.
The program provides funding, access to facility cores, and intellectual support for outstanding and innovative research projects. Pilot projects must address one of the four major research themes of the center.
