Abstract
We request funds for portable instruments to assess health in student field research. The equipment includes portable and semi-portable instruments primarily intended for field research, including (1) blood analyzers for on-site measurements of markers of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, anemia, immune function, and lead exposure (2) vital signs monitors (blood pressure, heart rate and lung function), and (3) anthropometrics instruments for precise measures of body size and composition.
