NIEHS资助了几个基础和应用研究项目，其中许多项目还需要研究翻译或推广。本文报道了布朗大学超级基金基础研究计划（SBRP）的一个项目，在该项目中，外展和研究翻译团队与州监管机构人员和社区活动家合作，开展立法活动，以减轻生活在受污染社区的财务影响。环境妥协的房屋所有权（ECHO）计划使房屋净值贷款高达25,000美元提供给合格的申请人。这种合作提供了一个案例研究，在社区参与，并展示了如何研究翻译和推广活动，明确区分，但良好的整合，可以改善一套基础和应用研究。虽然让不同的支持者参与可能很困难，但社区参与的翻译和外联有可能使研究结果对社区更有用，解决污染的一些社会影响，并使利益攸关方能够追求其个人和集体的补救目标。NIEHS最近重申了其对社区参与研究和宣传的承诺，这使得这是一个最佳时机，以反映如何通过研究翻译和推广使利益相关者参与的基础研究项目可以为整个研究企业增加价值。
The NIEHS funds several basic and applied research programs, many of which also require research translation or outreach. This paper reports on a project by the Brown University Superfund Basic Research Program (SBRP), in which outreach and research translation teams collaborated with state regulatory agency personnel and community activists on a legislative initiative to mitigate the financial impacts of living in a contaminated community. The Environmentally Compromised Home Ownership (ECHO) program makes home equity loans of up to $25,000 available to qualified applicants. This collaboration provides a case study in community engagement and demonstrates how research translation and outreach activities that are clearly differentiated yet well-integrated can improve a suite of basic and applied research. Although engaging diverse constituencies can be difficult, community-engaged translation and outreach have the potential to make research findings more useful to communities, address some of the social impacts of contamination, and empower stakeholders to pursue their individual and collectively held goals for remediation. The NIEHS has recently renewed its commitment to community-engaged research and advocacy, making this an optimal time to reflect on how basic research programs that engage stakeholders through research translation and outreach can add value to the overall research enterprise.
