The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Training Program [Superfund Research Program (SRP)] funds transdisciplinary research projects spanning the biomedical and environmental sciences to address issues related to potentially hazardous substances. We used a case study approach to identify how SRP-funded basic biomedical research has had an impact on society. We examined how transdisciplinary research projects from the SRP have advanced knowledge and led to additional clinical, public health, policy, and economic benefits. SRP basic biomedical research findings have contributed to the body of knowledge and influenced a broad range of scientific disciplines. It has informed the development of policies and interventions to reduce exposure to environmental contaminants to improve public health. Research investments by the SRP have had a significant impact on science, health, and society. Documenting the benefits of these investments provides insight into how basic research is translated to real-world applications.
美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）、国家环境卫生科学研究所（NIEHS）有害物质基础研究与培训计划[超级基金研究计划（SRP）]资助跨学科研究项目，涵盖生物医学和环境科学，以解决与潜在有害物质相关的问题。我们采用案例研究方法来确定 SRP 资助的基础生物医学研究如何对社会产生影响。我们研究了 SRP 的跨学科研究项目如何推进知识并带来额外的临床、公共卫生、政策和经济效益。SRP 的基础生物医学研究结果为知识体系做出了贡献，并影响了广泛的科学学科。它为制定政策和干预措施提供了信息，以减少接触环境污染物，改善公共卫生。SRP 的研究投资对科学、健康和社会产生了重大影响。记录这些投资的收益提供了一个洞察基础研究如何转化为实际应用的机会。
