Our initial efforts will focus on delivering funds to research collaboratives which are studying the environmental causes of childhood cancers like leukemia. CIRCLE is a Children’s Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research Center jointly funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). CIRCLE was initiated in 2008.
CIRCLE seeks to discover how environmental exposures and genetics interact to cause childhood leukemia in an effort to prevent the disease.
