Abstract: In 2009, the federal Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) was established under the stewardship of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) to protect, restore, and maintain the Great Lakes ecosystem in partnership with 15 other federal agencies. The task force of federal agencies developed the GLRI Action Plan which covers fiscal years 2010 to 2014. In the first 2 years the U.S. EPA has received over three quarters of a billion dollars through the Obama administration's stimulus funding to make substantial progress towards restoring the Great Lakes to ecological health. Under an interagency agreement with the US EPA, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) established the Great Lakes Biomonitoring Program under its 1980 Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) authority. The ATSDR Great Lakes Biomonitoring Program aims to provide a human exposure assessment to Great Lakes contaminants among targeted subpopulations concurrent with the onset of restoration activities. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) announced a funding opportunity called the "Biomonitoring of Great Lakes Populations Program" (CDC-RFA-TS10-1001). From the applicants for this cooperative agreement, ATSDR awarded funds to the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH), the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), and the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) to conduct non-research studies of human exposures and to advance jurisdiction-specific public health actions. This public health effort focuses on vulnerable or susceptible subpopulations with the potential for increased risk of exposure to persistent contaminants common to the Great Lakes watersheds and ecosystems.
