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的环境科学和有毒物质研究的沟通，实用性和创新性发展：教育和工业。对教育的重点有四个旨在将有关超级基金有毒物质和环境健康的知识从加州大学圣地亚哥分校的SBRP转移到几所战略性选择的高中。具体而言，这四个教育的目的是为教师和学生提供和主持课程讲习班，以开发教育外展资源中心，提供有组织的实验室和实地研究学徒制，并发展纪律，知识，沟通，领导才能和指导技能。实现这些教育目的的方法包括教师研讨会，以开发课程和动手的学生练习，包括实验室和实地经验以及有组织的一系列技术旅行。该方法建立在加州大学摩西司越桦木水族馆和自然保护区以及圣地亚哥自然历史博物馆的几个国家认可的基于分水岭的教育计划。 UCSD的特许学校和创建计划，两者都可以作为测试床运行，以开发9 - 12年级的弱势学生教育的创新方法，将积极参与这项工作。外展核心对行业的关注与教育组成部分相结合。首先，在创建，集成和转移有关超级基金有毒物质基本生物学，化学和物理方面的知识的创造，集成和转移方面建立创新的工业网络和协作能力。第二，为教育和研究目的培养工业伙伴。第三，建立一个联合地理信息系统（GIS），可用于将与超级基金相关的基础科学联系起来，以与更大的圣地亚哥tijuana Binational Bordational Bordational地区的水质和公共卫生问题联系起来。要结合这些工业环境协会（IEA），尤其是IEA战略环境管理，危险废物和Maquiladoras（墨西哥出口的工厂）的工作委员会。
