The Community Organizing Network for Environmental Health is a part of Community Action Against Asthma (CAAA), which, in turn is a part of the Michigan Center for the Environment and Children's Health. It is a community-based intervention research partnership between the University of Michigan, community-based organizations, and health care institutions in Detroit.

The aims of the Community Organizing Network for Environmental Health are to:

• share with community groups and organizations the findings from data collected through household and air quality research of the CAAA project;
• identify and engage existing community groups and organizations interested in working on environmental issues important to their neighborhood and community in the hopes of creating an interorganizational network (I.N.);
• work with member group of the I.N. to organize, coordinate and conduct activities to reduce physical environmental threats related to asthma; and
• increase community awareness and knowledge of factors associated with the environment and asthma through sharing of findings to community residents through presentations, annual reports, postings of websites, and community forums
