描述（由申请人提供）：社区外展核心是一个环境正义 该项目涉及与受危险废物场地和有毒物质影响的部落社区交流和分享SBRP产生的知识和工具。 申请人将使用部落区域管理方法，使印度的公平环境管理成为可能。 保留 广泛的目标是将重点从作为疾病的风险评估转移到 将风险评估作为一种健康模式，拥抱部落传统生活方式。这种新方法被美国环保署的国家部落科学理事会、国家部落环境理事会（NTEC）和部落环境保护机构确定为高度优先事项。他们将直接与当地的部落社区合作，1）坎波印第安人保留地，Kumeyaay国家的一部分; 2）位于二十九棕榈使命印第安人乐队的部落环境实验室，以及国家：3）NTEC的超级基金项目组。 这些社区包括著名的部落科学家，他们将帮助我们创建一个独特的部落信息系统，该系统将被称为部落区域信息系统（以UCSD SBRP区域信息系统为模型）。 Tribal-RWB将发展成为一个论坛和数据集、信息和知识集成工具的集合，以支持在核心合作项目中探索的环境正义和生活质量问题的在线分析、可视化和交流。 社区外展核心有五个目标，分为两大类：通信和环境正义，以及知识系统整合。 具体目标包括：（a）建立一个部落区域论坛网站;（b）分享SBRP产生的知识和工具;（c）举办一次部落区域会议;（d）举办一次区域论坛， 领导者和科学家; 2b）为研究生和本科生提供培训机会; 3c）与部落合作伙伴共同研究一系列论文，文章和其他出版物。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Community Outreach Core is an environmental justice project involving the communication and sharing of SBRP-generated knowledge and tools with Tribal communities affected by hazardous waste sites and toxicants. The applicants will use a Tribal Regional Workbench approach to enabling equitable environmental stewardship of Indian Reservations. The broad objective is to shift the emphasis from risk assessment as a disease paradigm to risk assessment as a wellness paradigm that embraces Tribal Traditional Lifeways. This new approach is identified as a high priority by the U.S. EPA's National Tribal Science Council, the National Tribal Environmental Council (NTEC), and Tribal environmental protection agencies. They will directly collaborate with Tribal communities both locally, 1) the Campo Indian Reservation, part of the Kumeyaay Nation; 2) the Tribal environmental lab located at the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians, and nationally: 3) the Superfund Project Group of NTEC. These communities include prominent Tribal scientists who will help us create a unique Tribal information system that will be called the Tribal Regional Workbench (modeled after the UCSD SBRP Regional Workbench). The Tribal-RWB will be developed as a forum and an ensemble of datasets and information and knowledge integration tools to support online analysis, visualization and communication of environmental justice and quality of life issues explored within the Core's collaborative projects. The Community Outreach Core has five aims, grouped into two broad categories: Communication and Environmental Justice, and Knowledge Systems Integration. Specific Aims include 1a) to build a Tribal Regional Workbench Web site; 1b) to share SBRP-generated knowledge and tools; 2a) to host a regional gathering of tribal leaders and scientists; 2b) to facilitate training opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students; and 3c) to co-investigator a series of papers, articles, and other publications with Tribal partners.
