Core--Community Outreach

UW SBRP社区外联核心与政府机构、部落国家、社区团体、卫生专业人员和个人利益相关者合作解决令人担忧的环境问题，主要是在华盛顿州，这是一个长期的历史。社区外联核心将继续执行其使命，在上述各群体之间建立协作项目。在接下来的5年里，我们的活动范围将扩大到包括新的超级基金网站和新的合作。社区外联核心还在K-12环境健康教育领域开展了一项非常积极的计划，与华盛顿州各地的教师和学生合作。在未来5年内，不会继续把重点放在K-12教育上。环境部内的其他计划 然而，职业健康科学将继续坚定地致力于K-12环境健康教育。社区外展核心的具体目标是： 1)继续和扩大我们的合作项目，旨在a)杜瓦米什河超级基金遗址周围的社区，b)周围的社区，解决环境和健康问题 毕业典礼湾超级基金网站，以及c)通过我们的 环境正义网络在行动中，2)开发新的合作项目，旨在解决华盛顿东部罗斯福湖超级基金遗址周围社区的环境和健康问题，3)通过新的社区赠款计划扩大我们的合作伙伴关系。我们目前与杜瓦米什河、开学典礼湾和移民社区成员(东非和亚洲太平洋岛民)有关的活动是在与当地和国家机构及社区团体广泛协商后制定的。将我们的活动扩展到罗斯福湖的建议是最近与华盛顿州卫生部和美国环保局第10区对话的结果。建议的赠款计划是与各种社区组织(Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition和Citizens for a Healthy Bay)讨论的结果，这些组织表示，他们社区最迫切的需求是当地资金，这些资金可以用于特定的小型项目。我们的做法一直是努力与负责危险废物清理和公民健康问题的机构以及当地社区组织建立合作关系。通过这种方式，我们小心翼翼地避免干扰旨在实现让社区积极参与决策过程这一目标的富有成效的关系。

The UW SBRP Community Outreach Core has a long history of working with government agencies, Tribal Nations, community groups, health professionals, and individual stakeholders to address environmental problems of concern, primarily in the state of Washington. The Community Outreach Core will continue its mission of establishing collaborative projects among the groups described above. During the next 5 years, the scope of our activities will broaden to include new Superfund sites and new collaborations. The Community Outreach Core has also had a very active program in the area of k-12 environmental health education, working with teachers and students throughout the State of Washington. The focus on k-12 education will not continue during the next 5 years. Other programs within the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, however, will continue their strong commitment to k-12 environmental health education. The specific aims of the Community Outreach Core are to: 1) Continue and expand our collaborative projects aimed at environmental and health concerns in a) communities surrounding the Duwamish River Superfund site, b) communities surrounding the Commencement Bay Superfund site, and c) immigrant community members identified via our Environmental Justice Network in Action, 2) Develop new collaborative projects aimed at environmental and health concerns in communities surrounding the Lake Roosevelt Superfund site in Eastern Washington and 3) Expand our partnerships via a new community grants program. Our current activities related to the Duwamish River, Commencement Bay and immigrant community members (East African and Asian Pacific Islander) were developed after extensive consultation with local and state agencies and community groups. The proposed expansion of our activities to Lake Roosevelt was the result of recent conversations with the Washington State Department of Health and US EPA Region 10. The proposed grants program was developed as a result of discussions with various community organizations (Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition and Citizens for a Healthy Bay) that indicated the most acute need for their communities was local funds that could be directed at specific small projects. Our approach has always been to try to build collaborations with agencies responsible for hazardous waste cleanup and health concerns of citizens in conjunction with local community organizations. In this way, we are careful not to interfere with productive relationships aimed at addressing the goal of actively involving the community in the decision-making process.
