社区参与核心 摘要 社区参与核心将采用新的参与方式，以响应 哈佛陈学派-NIEHS中心的新主题：重新构想环境健康：整合 人和场所的环境暴露。我们的主要目标利益相关者仍然是 多切斯特和卫生/公共卫生专业人员。CEC的目标是：1）制定长期模式 社区参与的重点是对话、共同愿景和对社区驱动的变革的承诺; 2)促进解决社区表达的环境健康问题的倡议和合作 伙伴及其他持份者;及3）评估我们与社区合作的成效。 新的参与方法包括在社区举办年度“参与变革”研讨会 与社区领导人，利益相关者和中心成员出席。这些讲习班的目标是 强调与减轻环境风险有关的现行示范做法，并确定项目， 明年，通过协商。新的三级拨款机制支援社区 各组织将在三个不同的层次上为社区项目提供资金：社区行动赠款 （1000 - 3000美元），设施接入资金（最高7,500美元）和试点项目（最高25000美元）。 社区和中心之间的多方位交流将通过参与促进 变革研讨会，利益相关者咨询委员会，与研究核心教师的互动加上 社区参与孵化器会议，并利用设施核心进行统计分析， 样本分析、新的数据摘要、数据可视化和地理信息系统数据绘图选项，以支持中央环境委员会 目标。与NIEHS和灾难恢复研究（DR 2）计划的合作将继续下去， 通过剑桥与麻省理工学院和北卡罗来纳州大学等NIEHS中心合作 科学节和波士顿地区健康教育计划，分别。第1区儿科 环境卫生专业单位（PEHSU）和波士顿公共卫生委员会将继续作为 伙伴与哈佛法学院的新合作将支持更综合的暴露方法 也就是说，促进对污染问题采取“超越科学”的办法，并加强 环境暴露缓解和当地法律法规。 利益相关者咨询委员会（SAB）成员的扩大将增加社区代表性 并扩大社区专业知识的范围提供给中心。同样，对SAB的期望 参与的程度有所提高，包括参加年度讲习班和项目会议。

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CORE ABSTRACT The Community Engagement Core will adopt a new approach to engagement in order to be responsive to the new theme of the Harvard Chan School-NIEHS Center, Re-Envisioning Environmental Health: Integrating Environmental Exposures of People and Place. Our main target stakeholders remain the community of Dorchester and health/public health professionals. The aims for the CEC are to 1) develop a long-term model of community engagement focused on dialogue, shared vision, and commitment to community-driven change; 2) foster initiatives and collaborations that address environmental health concerns expressed by community partners and other stakeholders; and 3) to assess the effectiveness of our engagement with the community. The new approach to engagement includes holding annual Engaging for Change workshops in the community with community leaders, stakeholders and Center members present. The objectives of these workshops are to highlight current exemplary practices related to mitigating environmental exposures and to define projects for the coming year through facilitated discussions. A new 3-tiered funding mechanism to support community organizations will provide funds for community projects at three different levels: Community Action Grants ($1K-3K), Facility Access Funds (up to $7,500) and pilot projects (up to $25K). Multi-directional exchange between the community and the Center will be fostered through the Engaging for Change workshops, the Stakeholder Advisory Board, interaction with the Research Core faculty plus community participation in the incubator sessions, and utilization of the Facilities Cores for statistical analysis, sample analysis, new data summaries, data visualization and GIS data mapping options in support of CEC aims. Collaboration with NIEHS and the Disaster Recovery Research (DR2) Program will continue as will collaboration with NIEHS Centers such as MIT and the University of North Carolina through the Cambridge Science Festival and the Boston Area Health Education program, respectively. The Region 1 Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (PEHSU) and the Boston Public Health Commission will continue as partners. A new collaboration with Harvard Law School will support the more integrated approach to exposures i.e., to foster a “beyond science” approach to pollution problems and to increase the synergy between environmental exposure mitigation and local laws and regulations. The expanded membership of the Stakeholder Advisory Board (SAB) will increase community representation and expand the scope of community expertise available to the Center. Similarly the expectation for SAB participation has been augmented to include participation in annual workshops and project meetings.
