11. COMMUNITY OUTREACH & ENGAGEMENT CORE 11.1 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The goals of the Community Outreach and Education Core (COEC) are to: 1) promote environmental health in rural Midwestern communities and other vulnerable populations; 2) translate environmental health research results into knowledge for our community members; and 3) deliver appropriate, science and technology-based information. We intend to achieve these goals through the following four Objectives: Objective 1) Revitalize and enhance an organizational structure that ensures bi-directional communication and interaction with stakeholders through the re-establishment and further development of the Stakeholders Advisory Board. Objective 2) Increase awareness and understanding of existing and emerging environmental health issues among community citizens, professionals and legislators in the Midwest. Objective 3) Respond appropriately to environmental health emergencies when they arise and serve as a conduit for dissemination of educational materials through formal and social media outlets, and websites. Objective 4) Evaluate progress towards these objectives through both process and outcome evaluations. 11.2 RELATION OF COEC TO OVERALL CENTER The COEC has been and will continue to be an integral part of the overall center activities. The proposed COEC activities here are developed around 1) fostering bi-directional communication with stakeholder and constituent populations with guidance of the Stakeholder Advisory Board, 2) disseminating findings of the core research areas and strengths of the Center around adverse health effects of environmental contaminants among rural and agricultural populations (e.g. organic dust exposure and lung disease, pesticide exposure and cancer, rural childhood asthma, community health problems arising from industrialized livestock production). Dissemination and translation activities will be based on the research of the Center's 60 members, many of whom have previously been engaged in COEC activities. The COEC will involve the active participation of Center experts at presentations, policy briefings and community forums; as well as for technical reviews of all materials, such as fact sheets, developed by the COEC staff. As described in Strategic Vision, to ensure Center researcher participation in COEC activities, the following structures will be in place 1) Strategic areas for outreach will be discussed at Center Retreats, and Internal Advisory Committee Meetings; 2) Dr. Parker, as COEC leader, will serve on the Internal Advisory Committee, allowing her to both report on COEC activities as well as learn about new research findings to be disseminated; 3) Dr. Thorne, Center Director, will serve as COEC Co-Director and will be actively engaged in all COEC leadership and Stakeholder Advisory Board meetings, thus providing another avenue for Center-COEC communication.

11.社区外展与参与核心 11.1目标和目的 社区外展和教育核心的目标是： 1)促进中西部农村社区和其他弱势群体的环境健康; 2）将环境健康研究成果转化为我们社区成员的知识; 3）提供适当的科学和技术信息。我们打算通过以下四个目标实现这些目标： 目标1）通过重新设立和进一步发展利益攸关方咨询委员会，振兴和加强确保与利益攸关方双向沟通和互动的组织结构。 目标2）提高中西部社区公民、专业人员和立法者对现有和新出现的环境健康问题的认识和理解。 目标3）在出现环境卫生紧急情况时作出适当反应，并作为通过正式和社会媒体渠道和网站传播教育材料的渠道。 目标4）通过过程和成果评价，评价实现这些目标的进展情况。 11.2 COEC与整个中心的关系 COEC已经并将继续成为整个中心活动的组成部分。COEC的拟议活动围绕以下方面展开：1）在利益相关者咨询委员会的指导下，促进与利益相关者和组成人群的双向沟通，2）传播中心核心研究领域的研究结果和优势，以及环境污染物对农村和农业人口的不良健康影响（例如接触有机粉尘和肺病、接触农药和癌症、农村儿童哮喘、工业化畜牧生产引起的社区健康问题）。传播和翻译活动将以中心60名成员的研究为基础，其中许多人以前曾参与COEC活动。中心专家将积极参与COEC的演讲、政策简报和社区论坛，并对COEC工作人员编写的所有材料（如概况介绍）进行技术审查。如战略愿景所述，为确保中心研究人员参与COEC活动，将建立以下结构：1）将在中心务虚会和内部咨询委员会会议上讨论外联战略领域; 2）帕克博士作为COEC的领导人，将在内部咨询委员会任职，允许她既报告COEC的活动，也了解将要传播的新研究成果; 3）中心主任Thorne博士将担任COEC联合主任，并将积极参与所有COEC领导层和利益相关者咨询委员会会议，从而为中心-COEC沟通提供另一种途径。
