Core--Research Translation

研究翻译核心旨在发展并提供有效的机制，通过该机制，本项目所建议的研究成果以及项目之外的相关研究成果，可以向项目的利益相关者提供。利益相关者是通过选择以罗德岛州为中心的基于州的方法来定义的。传递项目成果的机制既包括技术信息交流，也包括技术转让。将与主要的州机构- -纽约州环境管理部（环境保护局）和纽约州卫生部环境风险评估办公室- -进行协调，由一个项目资助的布朗州机构联络处（SAL）促进。

The Research Translation Core aims to develop and provide efficient mechanisms by which the results of the proposed research here, and relevant research outside of the project, become available to the project's stakeholders. The stakeholders are defined by the choice of a state-based approach centering on Rhode Island. The mechanisms for conveying results out from the project include both technical information communication as well as technology transfer. There will be coordination with key state agencies- the Rl Dept. of Environmental Management (Environmental Protection Bureau) and Rl Dept. of Health Office of Environmental Risk Assessment, fostered by a project-funded, Brown-based state agencies liaison (SAL). The SAL will coordinate communications on current issues between Brown and the state agencies, and between the state agencies themselves. The core Leader, Co-Leaders and SAL will use advanced social science tools to define effective communications concerning the health implications and management options for complexly contaminated sites in Rl. Stakeholders include health professionals (to be reached by targeted continuing medical education courses and grand rounds), as well as developers, legal professionals and environmental professionals. The Outreach Core separately describes efforts aimed at the general public. The project's researchers will serve as principal experts for some communications, but will also serve as information gatekeepers for their areas- identifying as needed experts and sources of information external to the project. The SAL will identify where the stakeholders have immediate information needs and the project leaders will help formulate a response. Meanwhile, in addition to traditional publication and seminar routes for dissemination of their research results, the project leaders will be assisted by the SAL in organizing targeted scientific conferences allowing interchange of advanced research. There will also be a funded technology transfer mechanism, set up in conjunction with Brown's technology partnership program.
