Core B: Translation Core

研究翻译核心（RTC）的重点是提高科学和公众对超级基金化学品如何危害人类健康以及如何减少接触这些化学品的理解，使政府官员和公众能够就减少风险做出明智的决定。我们强调了在联合国战略研究计划中研究的高度优先的超级基金化学品。RTC的目标是：（1）促进和协调在NIEHS SRP内的研究翻译工作，并与NIEHS和其他SRP分享我们的成果，（2）提高 提高联邦、州和地方政府机构对污染源研究的认识，并建立他们保护污染场地周围健康和环境的能力;（3）通过开发决策支持工具和创新的环境技术，促进我们研究的实际贡献;（四）提高教师和其他广大受众对危险化学品安全研究项目研究结果和一般环境卫生概念的认识暴露;（5）提高学生对科研翻译概念的认识。RTC将继续目前的努力，以提高人们对CSTR研究的认识，并将其扩展到新的国家机构合作伙伴。我们还将实施新的举措，以应对国家机构和地方卫生部门在危险废物处置场所在社区确定的研究需求。区域技术委员会将继续协助国家环境和自然资源委员会和国家人权和人类健康委员会创建决策工具，将污染物累积暴露和健康结果指数化，完善这些工具的测试版，并开展新的努力，培训机构工作人员使用这些工具。我们还将与技术开发办公室合作，协助研究人员进行商业化进程。此外，RTC将继续并扩大其教师专业发展活动，使我们能够以适当的方式与广大受众有效地分享超级基金相关的科学。我们还将举办环境研究翻译主题的短期课程 理工科学生。

The Research Translation Core (RTC) focuses on improving scientific and public understanding of how Superfund chemicals harm human health and how to reduce exposure to those chemicals, enabling government officials and the public to make informed decisions about reducing risk. We emphasize the high priority Superfund chemicals studied within the UNC SRP. The RTC aims to: (1) foster and coordinate research translation efforts within UNC SRP and share our results with NIEHS and other SRPs, (2) raise awareness of UNC SRP research among federal, state and local government agencies and build their capacity to protect health and the environment around contaminated sites; (3) advance the practical contributions of our research through development of decision support tools and innovative environmental technology; (4) raise awareness among teachers and other broad audiences of UNC SRP research findings and general environmental health concepts related to hazardous chemical exposure; and (5) increase our students' knowledge of research translation concepts. The RTC will continue current efforts to raise awareness of UNC SRP research and extend them to new state agency partners. We will also implement new initiatives designed to respond to research needs identified by state agencies and local health departments in communities with hazardous waste sites. The RTC will continue to assist NCDENR and NCDHHS in creating decision making tools that index cumulative exposure to pollutants and health outcomes, refining beta versions of these tools and implementing new efforts to train agency staff in their use. We will also work with the UNC Office of Technology Development to assist researchers in the commercialization process. In addition, the RTC will continue and expand its teacher professional development activities, enabling us to effectively share Superfund related science with broad audiences in appropriate ways. We will also conduct short courses on research translation topics for Environmental Sciences and Engineering students.
