Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute

What Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute does

Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI) is an academic research institute established in 1986 and operating within Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS). Headquartered at 170 Frelinghuysen Road in Piscataway, New Jersey, EOHSI conducts basic and clinical research on health effects associated with environmental and occupational chemical exposures, provides occupational medicine clinical services, runs graduate and postdoctoral training programs in environmental health and toxicology, and engages in community outreach and public health policy development.

EOHSI is organized into six divisions — Toxicology; Environmental and Population Health Biosciences; Clinical Research and Occupational Medicine; Global Environmental Health; Community and Government Engagement; and the EOHSI Center for Environmental and Occupational Health — supported by shared core facilities. Its clinical portfolio includes the Clinical Center for Environmental and Occupational Health, the World Trade Center Health Program (a NIOSH-designated Center of Excellence for 9/11 responders), and the RBHS Employee Health Services for Rutgers employees. Educational offerings comprise a Ph.D./postdoctoral training pipeline, the Joint Graduate Program in Toxicology with Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, and an Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency Program.

The institute's research portfolio spans toxicogenomics and functional genomics, nanotoxicology (including engineered nanomaterials and micro/nanoplastics), Eph/Ephrin signaling, nano-aerosol science, and exposure assessment, supported by more than a dozen US and international patents. Revenue is generated primarily through NIH/NIEHS research grants, Rutgers University institutional support, and clinical service contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed as the institute operates through institutional and federal channels rather than commercial sales. Customers and beneficiaries include federal and state agencies, graduate trainees, clinical patients (including WTC responders and survivors), and New Jersey communities affected by environmental hazards such as lead in drinking water and PFAS contamination.

Core offering

EOHSI is a Rutgers University research institute that conducts environmental and occupational health research across six divisions, provides clinical services through its Clinical Center and the World Trade Center Health Program, and offers graduate medical education including an ACGME-accredited residency in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Revenue is sourced primarily from federal research grants (NIH/NIEHS), with additional support from clinical service fees, university funding, and educational programs.

Product overview

EOHSI is a university-based research institute offering a portfolio of clinical services, research programs, and educational offerings rather than a unified technology product. The core clinical services include the Clinical Center for Environmental and Occupational Health, the World Trade Center Health Program (Center of Excellence), and an Occupational Medicine Residency Program. Research is organized into six divisions: Toxicology, Clinical Research and Occupational Medicine, Environmental and Population Health Biosciences, Global Environmental Health, and Community and Government Engagement. Supporting infrastructure includes student training programs and shared core facilities. These components work together to advance understanding of environmental and occupational chemical exposures, provide clinical care to affected populations, and develop public health policy.
