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.社区外展和参与的核心 11.1目标和目的 社区推广和教育核心(COEC)的目标是： 1)在中西部农村社区和其他弱势群体中促进环境健康；2)将环境健康研究成果转化为社区成员的知识；3)提供适当的、以科学和技术为基础的信息。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、专业人士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)在出现环境卫生突发事件时作出适当反应，并作为通过正式和社交媒体渠道和网站传播教育材料的渠道。 目标4)通过过程和结果评价，评价实现这些目标的进展情况。 11.2 COEC与整体中心的关系 COEC一直是并将继续是整个中心活动不可或缺的一部分。拟议的COEC活动围绕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群体的双向沟通，2)传播中心核心研究领域的成果和中心的优势，围绕农村和农业人口中环境污染物的不利健康影响(例如，有机粉尘暴露和肺部疾病、农药暴露和癌症、农村儿童哮喘、工业化畜牧业生产产生的社区健康问题)。传播和翻译活动将以中心60名成员的研究为基础，其中许多成员以前曾参与过COEC的活动。COEC将让中心专家积极参与演示、政策简报和社区论坛；以及对COEC工作人员编制的所有材料进行技术审查，如情况说明书。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的战略领域；2)作为COEC领导人的Parker博士将在内部咨询委员会任职，使她能够报告COEC活动以及了解即将发布的新研究成果；3)中心主任索恩博士将担任COEC联席主任，并将积极参与所有COEC领导层和利益攸关方咨询委员会会议，从而为中心与COEC之间的沟通提供另一种渠道。
