- Design and conduct investigator-initiated and collaborative epidemiologic research focusing on reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric health endpoints to identify etiologic mechanisms, at risk subgroups, and interventions aimed at maximizing health and preventing, diagnosing and/or treating disease.
- Provide service to the Division, institute, NIH, HHS, and the profession via consultation, collaboration, and assistance to advance the scientific discipline of epidemiology and the goals of the institute.
- Recruit highly qualified students and trainees at various stages of their careers to position them for professional careers in reproductive, perinatal and pediatric epidemiologic research.
