Findings of Misconduct in Science

case studies to two children’s disorders that appear to have environmental etiologies but are less well understood: disorders of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A discussion will follow each case study presentation to consider the opportunities, the barriers and the design challenges that confront future clinical, toxicological, epidemiological, exposure monitoring, and basic research in children’s environmental health. Specific topics include: • Past approaches to research translation to see what worked and what failed to work. • The critical mass of researchers and mix of disciplines needed to most efficiently advance research in children’s environmental health. • Biomarkers of exposure, susceptibility, or subclinical dysfunction. • The use of ‘‘omics’’ technologies that might be incorporated into future toxicological, epidemiological and/or biomonitoring studies to enhance their sensitivity and efficiency. • Is there a point at which the use of new scientific tools might slow the pace of progress? • New approaches to accelerating the translation of science to treatment, prevention, and the remediation of environmental risks to children’s health. • Potential study populations at uniquely high risk of disease. • Data resources—records, disease registries, well-characterized cohort populations, tissue banks, or stored DNA—in the U.S. or abroad that might facilitate future studies. • New partnerships in research. DATES: The workshop will be held on January 22–23, 2007, at the NIEHS in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
