Core--Outreach

在较老的、以前工业化的社区（如那些位于哈德逊河下游、哈德逊河港口和河口的社区），有潜在的污染场地，这些社区需要关注。外展核心将通过提供纽约大学超级基金项目的研究信息和专业知识的翻译来解决这些问题，以改善公众健康，特别是在哈德逊河下游流域周围的社区。这项外展活动将与当地非营利环境组织协调和合作进行，包括哈德逊风景区、Baykeepers和哈德逊河环境协会。由该核心支持的合作活动将包括在可能受金属污染影响的社区（例如，布朗菲尔德和超级基金站点附近）规划和举办研讨会和/或专题讨论会，开发和分发信息材料（例如，情况说明书），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)。这些努力将特别关注那些主要是服务不足的少数民族居民的社区，比如附近的纽约纽堡市。此外，关于超级基金计划成员、活动和进展的信息将通过在计划网页上的展示与科学界和公众分享。通过这种方式，外联核心将加快纽约大学超级基金项目的科学专业知识和研究成果信息与公众需求和利益的联系，特别是当地社区的需求和利益。

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.
