The Outreach Core's broad, long-term objectives is to improve the communication, usefulness, and innovative development of Superfund- related environmental science and toxicant studies in two target areas: education and industry. The focus on education has four aims geared to transfer knowledge about Superfund toxicants and environmental health from UC San Diego's SBRP to several strategically selected high schools. Specifically, the four education aims are to provide and lead curriculum workshops for teachers and students, to develop Educational Outreach Resource Centers, to provide organized laboratory and field research apprenticeships, and to develop discipline, knowledge, communication, leadership, and mentoring skills. Methods to achieve these education aims include teacher workshops to develop curricula and hands-on student exercises including lab and field experience and an organized series of Technology Tours. The approach builds upon several nationally recognized watershed-based, educational initiatives underway at UCSD's Birch Aquarium and Natural Reserve System and at the San Diego's Natural History Museum. UCSD's Charter School and CREATE program, both of which operate as testbeds to develop innovative approaches to the education of disadvantaged students in grades 9-12, will actively participate in this effort. The Outreach Core's focus on industry has three aims integrated with the education component. First, to build capacity for innovative university-industry networking and collaboration in the creation, integration, and transfer of knowledge about the basic biological, chemical, and physical aspects of Superfund toxicants. Second, to cultivate industrial partners for education and research purposes. And third, to build a Federated Geographic Information System (GIS) useful for linking Superfund-related basic science to water quality and public health issues in the larger San Diego-Tijuana binational border region. To meet these Industrial Environmental Association (IEA), especially the IEA's working committees on Strategic Environmental Management, Hazardous Waste, and Maquiladoras (export oriented factories in Mexico).

外展核心的广泛、长期目标是改善超级基金相关环境科学和毒物研究在教育和工业两个目标领域的交流、实用性和创新发展。对教育的关注有四个目标，旨在将有关超级基金毒物和环境健康的知识从加州大学圣地亚哥分校的 SBRP 转移到几所战略选择的高中。具体来说，四个教育目标是为教师和学生提供和领导课程讲习班，发展教育外展资源中心，提供有组织的实验室和实地研究学徒，以及发展纪律、知识、沟通、领导和指导技能。实现这些教育目标的方法包括举办教师讲习班来开发课程和学生实践练习，包括实验室和现场经验以及一系列有组织的技术之旅。该方法建立在加州大学圣地亚哥分校伯奇水族馆和自然保护区系统以及圣地亚哥自然历史博物馆正在进行的多项全国公认的流域教育举措的基础上。加州大学圣地亚哥分校的特许学校和 CREATE 项目将积极参与这项工作，这两个项目都是开发 9-12 年级弱势学生教育创新方法的试验平台。外展核心对工业的关注有与教育部分相结合的三个目标。首先，在超级基金毒物的基本生物、化学和物理方面的知识的创造、整合和转移方面，建设创新型大学-工业网络和合作的能力。二是培育教育科研产业伙伴。第三，建立一个联合地理信息系统（GIS），有助于将超级基金相关的基础科学与圣地亚哥-蒂华纳两国边境地区的水质和公共卫生问题联系起来。会见工业环境协会 (IEA)，特别是 IEA 的战略环境管理、危险废物和加工工厂（墨西哥出口导向型工厂）工作委员会。
