Program
CLEAR Research Program
Clinical Local Environmental Air and Regulatory Intelligence. CLEAR Research integrates environmental, geographic, regulatory, healthcare, and community data to study patterns relevant to respiratory and public health.
Program overview
CLEAR Research brings together data that is usually kept separate — environmental measurements, geographic context, regulatory and permitting records, healthcare utilization, and community conditions — to describe patterns that are relevant to respiratory and public health. The program emphasizes documented provenance, transparent methods, and careful, non-causal interpretation.
