Objective of Research

The UW CCAR is focused on the cardiovascular health effects of near-roadway pollution, a complex mixture of particle, vapor and gas phase components that vary by vehicle emission source, road surface, extent of physical aging and the type and degree of atmospheric processing and photochemical reactions. This exposure scenario is not only known to be of considerable health importance, but also serves as a prototypical case for developing research approaches to dealing with multi-pollutant exposure-effect relationships. Our aim is to integrate exposure, epidemiological, toxicological, clinical, and statistical sciences to study cardiovascular hazards of fresh and aged roadway emissions and significantly advance our understanding of the components and reaction products that cause these effects.

The Center consists of five highly integrated research projects and two facility cores that together are pursuing the following six aims:

  1. To characterize real-world near-roadway pollutant concentrations, particle size distributions and chemical composition.
  2. To simulate realistic contrasting near-roadway multi-pollutant exposure atmospheres for laboratory animal and human studies.
  3. To identify cardiovascular and immunologic effects and the pathogenic mechanisms of near-roadway exposures using animal models.
  4. To identify cardiovascular and immunologic effects of near-roadway exposures in human clinical studies.
  5. To identify effects of long-term exposure to traffic-derived particles and gases on sub-clinical measures of cardiovascular disease and DNA methylation in a multi-ethnic population.
  6. To develop a statistical and methodological framework for studying health effects of multi-pollutant mixtures.

Biostatistics Core
Objective of Research

The overall objective is to support the statistical needs of all Center projects. This will be achieved through five specific objectives:

  1. Advise Center projects on data management and compilation. This Core will provide advice on database design, forms design, data entry support, data quality review, data storage, back-up and documentation.
  2. Ensure quality statistical design and analysis of Center research. The Core members meet regularly (weekly); these meetings ensure regular attention to the vast array of (bio)statistical needs of the Center, including: study design, power calculations, data collection, statistical analysis plan development, statistical analysis, and interpretation of results.
  3. Implement novel statistical methods that are required for Center projects. Novel statistical methods are incorporated into Projects 5 and 1 to jointly model and then estimate health effects for mixtures of pollutants.
  4. Identify additional statistical methodological research that will advance Center projects and seek resources to perform such research. The active participation of statisticians in the scientific research of the Center enables identification of innovative statistical methods and approaches to statistical analyses to deal with the most pressing scientific needs of the Center. The Center will catalyze (but not fund) solicitation of resources for new methodological research.
  5. Communicate and disseminate Center findings. This Core will aid in the interpretation of Center findings and use examples from Center research in statistical papers on methodological development and implementation. The Core will also collaborate on manuscripts, foster understanding of statistical methods, and engage statisticians in air pollution research.

Committees and Meetings

  • Investigators Committee – The Investigators Committee is comprised of key members from all five research projects, as well as representatives from the Biostatistics and Administrative Cores.

As the research activity has accelerated in Year 2, this group now meets approximately every 4 weeks for status reports and to discuss the day to day scientific activities of the Center and its individual projects. We also have initiated a results or discussion period in these meetings where, on a rotating basis, investigators from each project present findings and progress.

  • Internal Steering Committee – The Internal Steering Committee (ISC) is comprised of the Center Director, Deputy Directors, project and core PIs, the Center Quality Assurance Manager (QAM), and the Center Manager. This group meets quarterly to discuss finances, budgets, resource allocation, and collaborations. The ISC also serves as the Cross Collaboration Committee and convened recently to discuss the inter-Center collaboration projects proposed during the June 2012 CLARC Annual Meeting. The projects and scientific components of interest, collaborating parties, and budgeting requirements were discussed and the recommendations from this meeting are included in the Annual Report to help define the Center’s collaborative focus and participation.
  • Scientific Advisory Committee – The Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) is composed of 10 scientists representing varying specialties and institutions, including the U.S. EPA and members from the other CLARC Centers. A list of the committee members with their associated institutions appears in Table 1. The committee convened in Seattle for the first annual “UW CCAR” SAC meeting on September 26-27, 2011. We thank the committee for evaluating our Center’s initial project plan and for sharing their ideas. The insight and suggestions provided during that meeting, and in the follow up SAC comments, were greatly appreciated and have been strongly considered by our investigators. Our second SAC committee meeting is scheduled for September 27-28, 2012, with a similar format to the previous year. All 10 members, as well our EPA program and project officers, have confirmed their attendance and are expected to participate and offer constructive advice on the Center’s progress, direction, focus, and future.

Information Technology

  • The Center continues to utilize the University of Washington’s Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences (DEOHS) temporary server space. This resource is appropriately maintained, secured, and archived by DEOHS IT personnel, with password access for approved Center/project personnel. Its capacity is adequate for the current usage and can be expanded if needed.
  • Each of the lead investigators, as well as the Internal Steering Committee, has been consulted for their data storage preferences and requirements, through the end of the Center’s award period. It was determined that the most appropriate course would be to have each project collect, process, analyze, and store their respective raw and “intermediate” data on their own institution or research group IT resources. Final products, or output from each project, and from the Biostatistics Core, will be stored for inter-project use, as well as external use and distribution, on a common Center drive. This drive would be password accessible to only the project PI’s and those approved by them. A Structured Query Language (SQL) server, as previously considered, will not be necessary. The proposed drive will integrate into an existing University of Washington DEOHS system, providing a very cost effective, flexible, reliable, protected, and secure computing environment that can be expanded and reconfigured easily. Figure 1 provides a general overview of the proposed project and data structure.
  • The Center’s website has been live for almost 1 year and continues to provide information to the investigators, as well as to the general public. Content relating to the Center’s calendar, members, projects, and collaborators remains current. This Year 2 Annual Report provides a comprehensive list of all publications, presentations, posters, etc., relating to Center activities and these items will populate the site as soon as possible. As the Center and its individual projects continue to progress, we expect to have significant content to add to the website.

Subawards

  • The three original Center sub-awards for Washington State University, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute (LRRI), and the University of New Mexico were renewed for Year 2. We appreciate their participation and contributions to the Center as the research progresses. Financial information relating to the sub-awards was reported in the separate Center Annual Financial Report.

 

Biostatistics Core

The primary activities to date of the Biostatistics Core have fallen in three areas: participation in overall UW CCAR and CLARC activities, supporting the design and data management of the mobile monitoring research being conducted by Project 1, and advancing statistical methodological research.

Overall UW CCAR and CLARC Activities

Drs. Sheppard, Sampson, and Szpiro attended the June CLARC meeting along with student Josh Keller and soon-to-be-hired postdoctoral fellow Roman Jandarov. All Core representatives participated in the CLARC Biostatistics Workshop with presentations by Drs. Sheppard, Szpiro, and Sampson. This Core has collaborated with other Centers to develop two collaborative proposals: one on multipollutant measurement error, the other on modeling pollutant fields using satellite data.

Support of Project 1

The monitoring campaigns being conducted by Project 1 involve two different activities in each of four cities: 1) a mobile monitoring campaign that includes both continuous monitoring at a single fixed site along with repeated sampling of multiple intersections along three pre-determined routes over 9 days within a 2-week period during afternoon rush hours, and 2) a concurrent passive sampling campaign at a fixed number of stationary sites for a 2-week period. Biostatistics Core faculty and staff continue to support enhancements to the design of the monitoring campaigns. This year the Core also has supported a wide range of data-related activities including data cleaning, management, analysis, and presentation. We recently have begun to fund additional staff to develop the Project’s database management system.

Advancing Methodological Research

Our methodological work is advancing on two fronts: developing approaches to predict multipollutant surfaces across space and estimation of multipollutant health effects. Our objective is to use full multipollutant monitoring data to obtain estimated multivariate eigenpollutant health effects. (As described in our proposal we call eigenpollutants mixtures of multiple pollutants determined by a principal component analysis.)

  1. Multipollutant Prediction: In our current work we are considering whether the data reduction necessary to estimate eigenpollutants should be done prior to or after predicting pollutants. This project will move more quickly once our postdoctoral fellow starts in September.
  2. Multipollutant Health Effects: It now is well understood that spatial misalignment of exposure and health data means that a statistical model needed to predict exposures at subject locations (e.g., Sheppard, et al., 2011). Less attention has been paid to the implications of the predicted exposures in the inference about health effects. We have shown that counter to intuition, the best exposure model for prediction accuracy is not always the best for health effect inference (Szpiro, et al., 2011b). We also have developed theory to decompose the measurement error into Berkson-like error (from smoothing) and classical-like error (from estimating smoothing parameters) and have clarified the tradeoffs between these Berkson-like and classical-like components (Szpiro, et al., 2011a). Recent work suggests that for single pollutants 1) a lower rank exposure model increases Berkson-like error but decreases classical-like error; this may improve health effect inference even at the cost of worse prediction accuracy, and 2) it may be reasonable to guide the exposure model selection (e.g., lasso parameter selection) by the asymptotic results for health effect parameter estimates rather than prediction. Our preliminary assessment of multipollutant effects has shown that incompatibility between exposure models for different pollutants can introduce bias in the health effect estimates from the Berkson-like error component. Further work is needed to understand how to correct for this bias; we believe that the tradeoff with variability from classical-like error may depend on whether compatible models will work “almost as well” for individual pollutants.

Future Activities:

Administrative Core

  • Committee Meetings – The Investigators and Internal Steering Committees will continue to meet regularly to discuss and refine the direction of the Center. Coordination for the September 27-28 SAC meeting is under way.
  • Quality Management – The Center will continue to follow up with each individual project, and associated QAO, to review, revise, and archive all relevant SOPs, and their respective QAPPs. Additionally, Projects 4 and 5 will be responsible for submitting for approval their individual QAPPs before any data is collected.
  • Information Technology – With the computing space for the Center, and each of its individual projects and cores now defined, the Center Manager will work with UW DEOHS IT staff to design and purchase the appropriate hardware needed to house the Center’s drive for final working products. This process should be completed and the system functional before the new year of 2013.

Biostatistics Core

We have successfully recruited a postdoctoral fellow, Roman Jandarov, to support our methodological research program. With this enhanced staffing, we expect to make good progress in the next year on methods to quantify the health effects of multipollutant mixtures in a cohort study. We will focus on exposure prediction models, relying to the degree possible on the foundation provided by our currently developed spatio-temporal model. We will assess whether the multipollutant data we will be using will be rich enough to support this model or whether alternative approaches will be necessary.

We will continue Core activities to support all projects on an as needed basis. In the next year we expect the bulk of our effort will continue to support Project 1 investigators and staff with their data management and analysis.
