Core--Outreach

外联核心将在俄勒冈健康科学大学职业和环境毒理学研究中心(CROET)开发和组织。这将使外联核心能够利用CROET现有的外联方案。核心中心将结合传统和创新方法，向公众、科学和政府团体感兴趣的成员传达有关超级基金基础研究中心的信息。交流方式将包括向社区和利益相关者团体口头介绍超级基金研究中心，信息手册，地区大会上的展览，以及一个广泛的互联网网站。有关超级基金研究中心的信息将包括在CROET的季度通讯、定期邮件、网站和俄勒冈州以及华盛顿州南部和东部的演示文稿中。此外，CROET毒理学信息中心将回应有关超级基金研究中心工作的问题。由于许多人要么拥有一台家用电脑，要么通过工作、学校或图书馆访问一台电脑，预计该网站将成为推广工作的主要部分。新手和高级用户的互联网使用会议将在俄勒冈州的相关会议上提供。环境会议的额外会议和CROET的教师学习会议将以超级基金网站为特色；这将激发人们的兴趣，并促使他们一次又一次地访问该网站，以获取最新的信息。出于评估的目的，计数器将测量网站总数。以社区为基础的委员会会议将有助于规划外展工作。每个月的电话会议将使每个成员充分了解情况。监督委员会的成员、环境问题教育项目的研究以及内容翔实的会议将帮助感兴趣的人继续了解Superfund研究中心科学家解决的进展和问题。外联核心将开发和测试一种通过互联网传达信息的创新方法。俄勒冈州一个偏远的农村社区被选为这项活动的地点，该社区位于一个危险废物地点附近。目标将是提高对居住在该地点附近的潜在危险的认识水平。这项测试的结果将使这项创新技术得以开发和改进，以便向居住在超级基金遗址附近偏远地区的人口提供信息。

The Outreach Core will be developed and organized at the Center for Research on Occupational and Environmental Toxicology (CROET), Oregon Health Sciences University. This will allow the Outreach Core to capitalize on the CROET's existing outreach program. The Core will combine traditional and innovative methods to convey information about the Superfund Basic Research Center to interested members of the public, scientific, and government communities. Communication methods will include oral presentations about the Superfund Research Center to community and stakeholder groups, informational brochures, exhibits at area conventions, and an extensive Internet site. Information about the Superfund Research Center will be included in CROET's quarterly newsletters, regular mailers, website, and presentations throughout Oregon and Southern and Eastern Washington. In addition, the CROET Toxicology Information Center will respond to questions about the work of the Superfund Research CENTER. As many people either have a home computer or access to one through work, school, or the library, the website is expected to be a major part of the outreach effort. Internet-use sessions for first-timers and advanced users will be provided at relevant Oregon conferences. Additional sessions at environmental conferences and teacher-learning sessions at CROET will feature the Superfund web site; this should stimulate interest among people and cause them to return to the site again and again for updated information. Counters will measure the total website for evaluation purposes. Community-based committee meetings will help plan the outreach effort. Teleconference calls each month will keep each member fully informed. Member on oversight committees, research on environmental issues education programs, and informative meetings will help interested people continue to be informed on the progress and issues addressed by Superfund Research Center scientists. The Outreach Core will develop and test an innovative method to convey information via the Internet. A distant rural Oregon community in the vicinity of a hazardous waste site has been selected for this activity. The goal will be to raise the level of understanding regarding the potential hazards of living near this site. The results of this test will allow to develop and improve upon this innovative technique for providing information to populations living in remote locations in the vicinity of Superfund sites.
