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.

在以前的工业化社区（例如位于哈德逊河下河，哈德逊河港和河流的河口）中，这些社区可能会关注这些社区。外展核心将通过在纽约大学超级基金计划中翻译研究信息和专业知识来解决这些问题，以改善公共卫生，尤其是在这些周围的哈德逊河河谷社区中。该外展将与当地的非营利环境组织进行协调和合作，包括风景秀丽的哈德逊，湾长和哈德逊河环境学会。 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领导者等）。这些努力将特别关注社区，主要是居民，例如附近的纽约市，纽约市纽约市。此外，有关超级基金计划成员，活动和进步的信息将通过其在计划的网站页面上的演示与科学界和公众共享。通过这种方式，外展核心将加快纽约大学超级基金计划的科学专业知识和研究结果信息与公共需求和兴趣，尤其是当地社区的联系。
