Priority research needs determined by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) for the agencies top-ranked hazardous substances are being filled via regulatory mechanisms, private sector voluntarism, and university-based research. To date, 17 studies have been completed, 12 are ongoing, and 12 are currently planned. Under the direction of the Substance-Specific Applied Research Program (SSARP), ATSDR-supported research has filled research needs that significantly improved the information base available for making appropriate public health decisions. With the knowledge and understanding gained from this research, health professionals are better able to identify and interdict significant exposure and mitigate toxicity when exposure occurs. Thus, the SSARP has played, and continues to play, a vital role in contributing towards improving ATSDR's efforts to meet its mission and goals in environmental public health. In addition to addressing research needs of interest to ATSDR, findings from the program have contributed to the overall scientific knowledge about the effects of toxic substances in the environment.
美国有毒物质与疾病登记署（ATSDR）针对该机构排名靠前的有害物质确定的优先研究需求，正通过监管机制、私营部门的自愿行动以及大学研究来满足。迄今为止，已完成17项研究，12项正在进行，另有12项目前已规划。在特定物质应用研究项目（SSARP）的指导下，ATSDR支持的研究满足了研究需求，显著改善了用于做出适当公共卫生决策的信息库。凭借从这项研究中获得的知识和理解，卫生专业人员在暴露发生时能够更好地识别和阻断重大暴露，并减轻毒性。因此，SSARP在助力ATSDR实现其环境公共卫生使命和目标的努力中发挥了并将继续发挥至关重要的作用。除了满足ATSDR感兴趣的研究需求外，该项目的研究结果还为有关环境中有毒物质影响的整体科学知识做出了贡献。
