Community Outreach and Education Core

CEEH的社区推广和道德核心(COEC)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攸关方之间的能力建设， 特别强调遗传学、表观遗传学和环境的伦理、法律和社会影响 曝光研究。我们的COEC专注于能力建设和通过内部 投资、外部伙伴关系以及对下一代环境健康和 生态遗传学研究人员。该中心专注于前沿、动态的科学领域(表观遗传学、 转基因动物、新陈代谢组学、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。我们认为自己是满足需求的催化剂和连接者 和学员的兴趣，环境健康科学(EHS)和临床与传递学(CTS) 研究人员，以及选定的社区组织和疾病倡导团体。接下来的五年 关于CEEH，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.
