项目摘要

COMMUNITY OUTREACH EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT CORE: PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Community Outreach Education and Engagement Core (COE2C) enables two-way communication between the Core Center and community groups. The COE2C listens and responds to our communities who have concerns about environmental health. It communicates those concerns to our internal researchers, with the goal of informing their work and creating a platform for scientist-community dialog. One of our communities is composed of Native American Tribes in Maine who reached out to us to engage on issues of air and water pollution, as well as on issues involving how to explain, in a culturally sensitive way, the basis of environmental disease to their members. A second community is composed of the 22 towns in the Mystic River watershed in Massachusetts. These communities, some of which are environmental justice (EJ) communities, are concerned about water contamination from centuries of industrial activity. The two-way dialog with the CEHS, catalyzed by the COE2C, provides communities with important connections to scientific expertise to advise community members about their concerns. Additionally, the COE2C will continue to partner with health care professionals to optimize an innovative gene-environment toolkit to disseminate to this target audience. In the previous competitive cycle, the nurse community reached out to us to ask for such tools. Lastly, with funds independent of the NIEHS P30 program, the COE2C has created and will continue to develop other environmental health curricula in collaboration with research members; we plan to disseminate these materials locally and globally. The COE2C Director is Dr. Kathleen Vandiver who sits on the Internal Advisory Board of the CEHS. She will be responsible for convening the Community Stakeholder Advisory Board (SAB) meetings and maintaining multi-directional interactions with the communities, partner organizations, and with all research members in the CEHS.

社区外展教育和参与核心：项目摘要/摘要社区外展教育和参与核心 (COE2C) 支持双向沟通核心中心和社区团体之间。 COE2C 倾听并回应我们社区的意见对环境健康有担忧。它将这些担忧传达给我们的内部研究人员，目标是为他们的工作提供信息并创建科学家与社区对话的平台。我们的社区之一由缅因州的美洲原住民部落组成，他们向我们寻求帮助解决空气和水问题污染，以及涉及如何以文化敏感的方式解释环境基础的问题给他们的成员带来疾病。第二个社区由神秘河流域的 22 个城镇组成马萨诸塞州。这些社区，其中一些是环境正义 (EJ) 社区，担心几个世纪的工业活动造成的水污染。与 CEHS 的双向对话，在 COE2C 的推动下，为社区提供与科学专业知识的重要联系以提供建议社区成员表达他们的担忧。此外，COE2C 将继续与医疗保健部门合作专业人员优化创新的基因环境工具包以传播给目标受众。在在上一个竞争周期中，护士社区向我们寻求此类工具。最后，有了资金独立于 NIEHS P30 计划，COE2C 已经创建并将继续开发其他与研究成员合作制定环境健康课程；我们计划传播这些材料本地和全球。 COE2C 主任是 Kathleen Vandiver 博士，她是 COE2C 内部顾问委员会的成员 CEHS。她将负责召集社区利益相关者咨询委员会（SAB）会议与社区、合作伙伴组织和所有研究保持多向互动 CEHS 成员。
