Cores
Enhancing capacity, integration, and translation by facilitating research while bridging technologies, capabilities, and expertise
Community Engagement Core (CEC)
TiCER’s engagement efforts are focused on well-documented priorities of stakeholder groups in the Texas Triangle, including urban and urbanizing neighborhoods within the contexts of Austin, Houston, and Dallas, and that are widely applicable to other areas at risk from environmental emergency events and climate change.
The CEC will develop, test, and disseminate data-driven community engagement outcomes and interventions that increase local resilience to existing disaster risk and the future effects of climate change.
Data Sciences Facility Core (DSFC)
Achieving the TiCER’s vision entails a multitude of data collection, storage, analysis, and integration challenges related to the high dimensionality of novel biological and chemical data streams, the mixture of structured and unstructured data at the level of local communities, and the need to translate data into actionable knowledge for environmental health decision making.
The DSFC supports these needs by leveraging data science expertise and resources across Texas A&M, providing a central data repository for TiCER investigators and serving as a key facilitator of interactions across the entire Center.
Translational Research Support Core (TRSC)
The TRSC is an integral component of TiCER. It reinforces the synergistic activities enhancing the breadth, quality, innovation, and productivity of environmental health research at Texas A&M.
As a hub for bi-directional research translation in the previous funding cycle, the TRSC (formerly the Integrated Health Science Facility Center [IHSFC]) used a novel operational model to provide access to resources, spur the creation of new models to answer fundamental questions, advance science, and build practices of value to communities at risk for environmental exposures.
