HEI has established an Advisory Council and an Oversight Panel, to advance HEI’s environmental justice (EJ) work. Council and Panel members have expertise in environmental justice, environmental health, community engagement, and air pollution monitoring or modeling, among other areas of expertise.
The Oversight Panel is comprised of representatives from academia and functions similarly to the HEI Research Committee, including JPB Fellows from Cohort I Diana Hernandez, Madeleine Scammell and Christina Fuller; it develops requests for proposals, recommends studies and programs for funding, and provides oversight and feedback while studies are ongoing.
