We received funding from the American Red Cross, National Science Foundation IGERT
grant DGE-1069213, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences grant R01ES023029.
The American Red Cross selected the city of Nairobi as a location of study and suggested
informal settlements as locations worth of investigation, but did not select the sites
within the city. The other funders had no role in study design, data collection, analysis,
decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.
