Core--Research Translation

研究翻译核心旨在开发和提供有效的机制，使项目利益攸关方能够获得这里拟议的研究结果以及项目外的相关研究。利益攸关方的定义是选择以罗德岛为中心的基于州的方法。将项目成果传达出去的机制既包括技术信息交流，也包括技术转让。将与关键的州机构-RL部门-进行协调。环境管理部(环保局)和RL部。环境风险评估卫生办公室，由一个项目资助的、以布朗为基础的州机构联络员(SAL)促进。 SAL将协调布朗与州机构之间以及州机构之间就当前问题进行的沟通。核心领导者、共同领导者和SAL将使用先进的社会科学工具来定义关于RL复杂污染场地的健康影响和管理选择的有效沟通。利益相关者包括卫生专业人员(通过有针对性的继续医学教育课程和大型巡回培训获得)，以及开发商、法律专业人员和环境专业人员。外联核心单独描述了针对普通公众的努力。该项目的研究人员将担任一些通信的主要专家，但也将 作为各自领域的信息守门人--根据需要确定项目外部的专家和信息来源。SAL将确定利益相关者在哪里有直接的信息需求，项目负责人将帮助制定响应。同时，除了传统的出版和研讨会传播研究成果的途径外，SAL还将协助项目负责人组织有针对性的科学会议，以便交流先进的研究成果。还将有一个资助的技术转让机制，与布朗的技术合作计划一起设立。

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.
