Research Translation Core

从超级基金基础研究计划（SBRP）的资金需要研究转化的努力，促进基础研究成果的应用，以改善生态和环境健康，已被故意或疏忽释放的有毒化学品的存在退化。加州大学戴维斯分校的一个非常成功的研究转化案例涉及加油站周围含水层的MTBE污染修复。我们分离出一种能降解甲基叔丁基醚的天然细菌， 然后优化并验证了其在加油站周围含水层修复中的用途。这项活动源于与环境决议公司、Regensis和政府机构（第5区水务委员会和州卫生部）的强有力的伙伴关系。该项目当然涉及社区外联和利益攸关者保持器的参与。我们继续发展这种伙伴关系，将该项目扩展到社区水源。已开展和拟议的其他RT活动（见进度报告）涉及与公众的沟通、政府伙伴关系和技术转让。翻译的努力 涉及信息传播、上述技术转让和知识产权开发。

Funding from the Superfund Basic Research Program (SBRP) requires Research Translational efforts that facilitate application of basic research findings to the improvement of ecological and environmental health that has been degraded by the presence of toxic chemicals that were purposely or negligently released. One very successful example of research translation at UC Davis involves remediation of MTBE-contamination of aquifers around gasoline stations. We isolated a natural bacterium that degrades MTBE, then optimized and validated its use in remediation of aquifers around gasoline stations. This activity grew from strong partnerships with Environmental Resolutions, Inc, Regensis and governmental agencies, (Region 5 Water Board, and the State Health Department). This project of course involved community outreach and stake holder involvement. We continue to develop such partnerships with the extension of this project to a community water source. Other RT activities undertaken (see Progress Report) and proposed involve communication to public, government partnering and technology transfer. The translational efforts involve distribution of information, technology transfer as discussed above, and development of IP.
