Community Outreach and Education Core

社区外展和道德核心（COEC）在CEEH的使命是促进双向 中心研究人员与广泛的专业和公共利益相关者之间的能力建设， 特别强调遗传学，表观遗传学和环境的伦理，法律的和社会影响 暴露研究。我们的COEC专注于能力建设，并通过内部合作促进合作 投资、外部伙伴关系以及投资于下一代环境健康， 生态遗传学研究者该中心的重点是尖端的，动态的科学领域（表观遗传学， 转基因动物，代谢组学，纳米毒理学），现在比以往任何时候都更有必要让公众 致力于研究的前景和未来。我们将自己视为满足需求的催化剂和连接器 环境健康科学（EHS）和临床和转化科学（CTS） 研究人员和选定的社区组织和疾病宣传团体。未来五年 在CEEH中，我们确定了四个主要目标，这些目标利用了我们的优势、专业知识和支持 中心的首要使命和目标。

The mission of the Community Outreach and Ethics Core (COEC) at the CEEH is to foster bi-directional capacity building between Center researchers and a broad range of professional and public stakeholders, with a special emphasis on the ethical, legal, and social implications of genetics, epigenetics, and environmental exposures research. Our COEC has a focus on building capacity and facilitating collaborations through internal investments, external partnerships, and investing in the next generation of environmental health and ecogenetics researchers. The Center is focusing on cutting edge, dynamic areas of science (epigenetics, transgenic animals, metabolomics, nanotoxicology) and it is essenfial, now more than ever, to keep the public engaged in the promise and future of research. We see our role as catalyst and connector to meet the needs and interests of trainees, Environmental Health Science (EHS) and Clinical and Translafional Science (CTS) researchers, and select community-based organizations and disease advocacy groups. For the next five years of the CEEH, we have identified four primary goals that capitalize on our strengths and expertise and support the overarching mission and goals of the Center.
