Community Engagement Core (Core C): Project Abstract/Summary The Community Engagement Core (CEC) plays a central role by supporting engagement with stakeholders for all other Projects and Cores and is supported by the MIT-SRP Engagement and Translation Advisory Committee members. The CEC supports the MIT-SRP mission of creating and applying new technologies to predict the spatiotemporal dynamics of contaminants and to reveal their health impact in order to support Public Health. Central to these activities is the mission to engage meaningfully with local, State, and National agencies as well as citizens impacted by contaminants in their environment. The CEC will partner with environmental advocacy groups for the Mystic River Watershed communities, which contain three Superfund sites, as well as with environmental officers and educators working with five Tribal Nation communities in rural Maine, one of which is living near the Loring USAFB Superfund site. A bidirectional exchange of resources and knowledge will continue to be sustained by participation of MIT-SRP researchers in meetings and events sponsored by our partners, and in the case of Maine, with regular visits of the MIT-SRP Leaders to Maine as well as the annual three-day EPA Region 1 Environmental Tribal Summit. The CEC currently has two major Tribal Nation partners: Maine Indian Education (MIE) and the Micmac Environmental Lab. The CEC recognizes that culturally appropriate partnerships require relationships that can only be built over time, and we thus appreciate the support we have gained from our partners; we have built these strong partnerships over the past three years. Going forward, we will engage with additional partners to support other Environmental Justice (EJ) communities. For Massachusetts, our primary partner is the Mystic River Watershed Association and within their catchment area, we additionally will partner with the Friends of the Malden River to help attend to three Environmental Justice communities, Malden, Medford and Everett, which are impacted by legacy contaminants, including PAHs and N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). The CEC will sponsor Citizen Science programs guided by MIT student interns to bridge the gap between researchers and community members. These activities will include using innovative sensors developed by Project 1 to detect target contaminants and sharing results with our engagement partners' newsletters, websites, and local newspapers. Additional engagement activities center around environmental health literacy, delivered through teacher training workshops, school curricula and informal venues, such as community events. New findings, as well as best practices, will be regularly shared with the public health community and other sister SRP Centers via the MIT-SRP website and newsletters. Lastly, to ensure a successful program, the CEC has also designed evaluation instruments to help the Core continuously improve its practices.

社区参与核心（核心 C）：项目摘要/总结 社区参与核心 (CEC) 通过支持参与来发挥核心作用 所有其他项目和核心的利益相关者，并得到 MIT-SRP 参与和翻译的支持 顾问委员会成员。 CEC 支持 MIT-SRP 的使命，即创建和应用新的 预测污染物时空动态并揭示其健康影响的技术 支持公共卫生。这些活动的核心是与地方、州和政府进行有意义的合作的使命 受环境污染物影响的国家机构和公民。 CEC将与 神秘河流域社区的环境倡导团体，其中包括三个超级基金 地点，以及与农村五个部落民族社区合作的环境官员和教育工作者 缅因州，其中之一住在 Loring USAFB 超级基金所在地附近。资源双向交换 MIT-SRP 研究人员参加会议和活动将继续维持知识 由我们的合作伙伴赞助，就缅因州而言，MIT-SRP 领导人定期访问缅因州 以及一年一度为期三天的 EPA 第一区环境部落峰会。 CEC目前有两个主要部门 Tribal Nation 合作伙伴：缅因州印第安教育 (MIE) 和 Micmac 环境实验室。 CEC 承认 文化上适当的伙伴关系需要只能随着时间的推移才能建立的关系，因此我们 感谢我们从合作伙伴那里获得的支持；我们在过去建立了这些强有力的伙伴关系 三年。展望未来，我们将与更多合作伙伴合作，支持其他环境正义 (EJ) 社区。对于马萨诸塞州，我们的主要合作伙伴是神秘河流域协会，并在他们的范围内 集水区，我们还将与马尔登河之友合作，帮助解决三个问题 马尔登、梅德福和埃弗雷特等环境正义社区受到遗留污染物的影响， 包括 PAH 和 N-亚硝基二甲胺 (NDMA)。 CEC 将赞助公民科学项目指导 由麻省理工学院的学生实习生创建，旨在弥合研究人员和社区成员之间的差距。这些活动将 包括使用项目 1 开发的创新传感器来检测目标污染物并与 我们的合作伙伴的时事通讯、网站和当地报纸。额外的参与活动中心 围绕环境健康素养，通过教师培训讲习班、学校课程和非正式课程提供 场所，例如社区活动。新的发现以及最佳实践将定期与 公共卫生界和其他姐妹 SRP 中心通过 MIT-SRP 网站和新闻通讯。最后，为了 为了确保项目的成功，CEC还设计了评估工具来帮助核心不断 改进其做法。
