The U.S. National Library of Medicine's (NLM) Environmental Health Information Partnership (EnHIP) collaborates with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other minority-serving academic institutions to enhance their capacity to reduce health disparities through the access, use, and delivery of environmental health information on their campuses and in their communities. The partnership began in 1991 as the Toxicology Information Outreach Panel (TIOP) pilot project, and through successive iterations it is NLM's longest running outreach activity. EnHIP's continued relevance today as an information outreach and training program testifies to the prescience of NLM director, Donald A.B. Lindberg M.D's initial support for the program. Dr. Lindberg's seeing to its continued success to benefit participating institutions and help achieve the societal goals of environmental justice serve as well to benefit NLM by increasing its visibility, and use of its resources in the classroom, for research, and in community outreach. NLM envisions an expanding role for EnHIP in advancing health equity as the impact of environmental exposure, climate change, and increasing zoonotic diseases disproportionately impact their communities.
美国国家医学图书馆（NLM）的环境健康信息合作伙伴关系（EnHIP）与历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）以及其他少数族裔服务学术机构合作，通过在校园和社区中获取、使用和提供环境健康信息，增强他们减少健康差距的能力。该伙伴关系始于 1991 年的毒理学信息推广小组（TIOP）试点项目，通过连续几轮迭代，成为 NLM 持续时间最长的推广活动。EnHIP 作为一个信息推广和培训计划，今天仍然具有相关性，证明了 NLM 主任唐纳德·A·B·林德伯格博士最初对该计划的远见卓识。林德伯格博士一直支持该计划的持续成功，以造福参与机构，并帮助实现环境正义的社会目标，这也有助于 NLM 通过在课堂上、研究中以及社区外展中增加其知名度和资源利用来获益。NLM 设想 EnHIP 在推进健康公平方面发挥更大的作用，因为环境暴露、气候变化和日益增加的人畜共患病对这些社区的影响不成比例。
