CETCE Collaborators

CETCE is dedicated to ensuring effective coordination and collaboration of efforts both within and outside the VA by engaging key external collaborators and academic institutions. These partnerships are critical since the complexity of emerging exposure threats require broad perspectives, distinct experiences, expansive infrastructure, various resources, and unique expertise to augment our existing staff capabilities and services.

CETCE also relies on input from an External Committee of Veteran and Service Members stakeholders to identify and predict new exposures of concern and potential health outcomes.
