FIC, in collaboration with NIEHS and NIOSH/CDC, launched this program in order to support the development of leading institutions in the low- or middle-income countries (LMICs) that serve as regional hubs for collaborative research, data management, training, curriculum development and policy support around high priority local, national, and regional environmental and occupational health threats. The goal of the program is to catalyze a multi-national network of regional Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth) Hubs that are the lead resources for environmental and occupational health, attract and retain the best talent in the region, and provide the scientific evidence for policy formulation. Awarded programs are co-funded by all participants (FIC, NIEHS, NIOSH).

Go4Life, is an exercise and physical activity campaign from the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and is designed to help individuals fit exercise and physical activity into their daily life. Motivating older adults to become physically active for the first time, return to exercise after a break in their routines, or build more exercise and physical activity into weekly routines are the essential elements of Go4Life. Go4Life offers exercises, motivational tips, and free resources to help individuals get ready, start exercising, and keep going. The Go4Life campaign includes an evidence-based exercise guide in both English and Spanish, an exercise video, an interactive website, and a national outreach campaign.
