These opportunities improve the ability to analyze and solve problems through different perspectives and settings. GHI Scholars traveling abroad will engage in opportunities for collaborative research and community engaged programs with different academic institutions and organizations worldwide.
Universidad del Valle de Guatemala Lago Atitl n Tentative Budget Project: Exposure to persistent pesticides and toxic metals via breastmilk in neonates living in the Lake Atitl n watershed, Guatemala Item Cost (USD) Accommodations & Meals $470 This pilot project has two specific aims directed at assessing exposures to pesticides (Aim 1) and toxic metal(loid)s (Aim 2) via breastmilk in neonates in the Lake Atitl n watershed in Guatemala. The fetus and neonate are the most vulnerable to contaminant exposure, but to maximize the opportunity to collect pilot data, this proposal focuses on the neonate and exposure through breastmilk. Information on specific pesticides (including many banned in the US) and metal(loid)s elevated in breastmilk is necessary to demonstrate exposure risk and to refine research aims for an RO1 application. An important research goal is to test for an association between contaminant exposure and stunting.
