UNC-CH Superfund Research Program

The UNC Superfund Research Program advances the scientific bases required to understand and reduce risks to human health associated with several of the highest priority chemicals regulated under the Superfund program, namely polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Our program comprises six integrated research projects (four biomedical and two non-biomedical) and five support cores, including two research support cores, a training core, a research translation core, and an administrative core. The UNC Superfund program serves to conduct research, train new scientists and engineers familiar with interdisciplinary research, and carry our results to a broad and diverse audience of scientists, regulators, legislators and concerned citizens.

The UNC SRP is funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
