Core--Outreach

在较老的、以前工业化的社区（例如沿着哈德逊河下游、哈德逊河港和河口的社区），有可能受到污染的地点，这些社区对此感到担忧。外联核心将采取行动，通过提供翻译的研究信息和专业知识，在纽约大学超级基金计划，以改善公共卫生，特别是在这些周围的下哈德逊河谷社区，以解决这些问题。这项推广活动将与当地非营利环境组织协调和合作进行，包括风景哈德逊、海湾守护者和哈德逊河环境协会。这一核心支助的合作活动将包括在可能受到金属污染影响的社区规划和举办讲习班和/或专题讨论会（例如，靠近棕地和超级基金场地），信息材料的开发和分发（例如，事实说明书），以及向可能受影响的社区提供纽约大学超级基金项目的科学专业知识（例如，通过参加社区会议、与社区领袖协商等方式）。这些努力将特别侧重于少数族裔居民主要得不到充分服务的社区，例如附近的纽约州纽堡市。此外，有关超级基金计划成员、活动和进展的信息将通过该计划网站页面上的介绍与科学界和公众分享。通过这种方式，外联核心将加快将纽约大学超级基金方案的科学专门知识和研究成果信息与公共需求和利益，特别是当地社区的需求和利益联系起来。

In older, previously industrialized communities (such as those located along the Lower Hudson River, Hudson River Harbor, and the river's estuaries), there are potentially contaminated sites that are of concern to these communities. The Outreach core will act to address these concerns by providing for the translation of the research information and expertise at the NYU Superfund program to improve public health, especially in these surrounding Lower Hudson River Valley communities. This outreach will be conducted in coordination and collaboration with local not-for-profit environmental organizations, including Scenic Hudson, Baykeepers, and the Hudson River Environmental Society. Collaborative activities to be supported by this core will include the planning and conduct of workshops and/or symposia in communities potentially affected by metals contamination (e.g., near Brownfields and Superfund sites), the development and distribution of informational materials (e.g., fact sheets), and the making available of the NYU Superfund Program's scientific expertise to potentially affected communities (e.g., via attendance at community meetings, consultations with community leaders, etc.). These efforts will especially focus on communities having predominantly underserved minorities as residents, such as the nearby city of Newburgh, NY. In addition, information on Superfund Program members, activities, and progress will be shared with the scientific community and the general public via their presentation on the Program's web site pages. In this manner, the Outreach core will expedite the linking of the NYU Superfund Program's scientific expertise and research results information with public needs and interests, especially those of local communities.
