The mission of our Outreach Core is to apply the knowledge gained from our SBRP program to human capacity building. Education and training in toxicology, risk assessment, and remediation will be targeted to the Hispanic Community in the Southwestern U.S. and neighboring Mexico. Our long-term goal is to empower the Hispanic Community with skills and expertise to tackle the health and environmental challenges plaguing the U.S.-Mexico Border region. The primary objective of our Outreach Program is to provide training, education, and teaching tools in Spanish as well as to strengthen partnerships with Mexican Universities and Research Institutes to create a functional and permanent Binational consortium dealing with border environmental health issues. To meet this objective, our Outreach Core will: 1) develop online educational material in Spanish for risk assessment, hazardous waste management, and remediation; 2) provide workshops and semester exchange programs for US Hispanic Communities and Mexico; 3) develop collaborative "learning laboratories" at remediation sites to train US and Mexican students; 4) assist in implementing a US-Mexico Binational Center for Environmental Sciences and Toxicology. This Core will greatly strengthen the ability of the US and Mexico to jointly address common hazardous waste problems.

我们外展核心的使命是将从SBRP计划中获得的知识应用于 人的能力建设。毒理学、风险评估和补救方面的教育和培训 将针对美国西南部和邻国墨西哥的西班牙裔社区。我们的长期目标是赋予西班牙裔社区技能和专业知识，以应对美国面临的健康和环境挑战。墨西哥边境地区。我们的推广计划的主要目标是提供西班牙语的培训，教育和教学工具，并加强与墨西哥大学和研究机构的伙伴关系，以创建一个处理边境环境健康问题的功能性和永久性的两国联盟。为了实现这一目标，我们的外展核心将：1）开发西班牙语的在线教育材料，用于风险评估，危险废物管理和补救; 2）为美国西班牙裔社区和墨西哥提供研讨会和学期交流计划; 3）在补救地点开发合作“学习实验室”，以培训美国和墨西哥学生; 4）协助建立美墨两国环境科学和毒理学中心。这一核心将大大加强美国和墨西哥联合解决共同危险废物问题的能力。
