The Center for Community Engagement, Environmental Justice, and Health (CEEJH) at the University of Maryland School of Public Health was founded in 2011 by Dr. Sacoby Wilson, full-time Professor in the Maryland Institute for Applied Environmental Health.

CEEJH has recently developed an Environmental Justice Agency Scorecard that assesses the effectiveness of Maryland agencies' integration of environmental justice into their plans and actions. The scorecard assigns a letter grade based on contributions to five major areas, holding the nine selected state agencies responsible for taking steps to advance the environmental justice movement.
