Project Summary/Abstract: The proposed workshop entitled “Integrating Mercury Research and Policy in a Changing World,” will be sponsored by the Dartmouth College Toxic Metals Superfund Research Program. It will address important issues surrounding the fate of mercury in the environment and is timed to bring these issues to the attention of policymakers who will be involved with the first Conference of Parties for the Minamata Treaty. The proposed invitational workshop will address the following core aims: 1. to draw upon the expertise of a network of scientists who study the fate of mercury in the environment and the resulting exposures and effects on humans and ecosystems; 2. to facilitate communication between policy stakeholders and scientists about the important questions relevant to public health policy and regulation of mercury in the environment in the U.S. and globally; 3. to provide a forum for scientists working on mercury including biologists, toxicologists, biogeochemists, wildlife and human health scientists, risk assessment scientists, epidemiologists, and physicians to communicate their results to other investigators and facilitate an interdisciplinary exchange of information that will accelerate relevant science; 4. to identify key questions and knowledge gaps about mercury fate and transport in the environment and exposure and effects on humans and wildlife, and, 5. to hear from policy stakeholders who are directly involved with setting mercury policy at the international and national levels and determine what key questions they need the science to answer to help them move mercury policy forward. In a collaborative setting, the workshop will convene policymakers, stakeholders, and researchers who study the fate of mercury in the environment and its impacts on humans and natural ecosystems to: 1) hear from stakeholders and policymakers about the latest developments and needs pertaining to mercury related policy issues; 2) work together to identify gaps in mercury science and related policy questions that should be addressed in synthesis papers; 3) present draft papers to the group and continue dialogue for shaping papers and questions; 4) provide opportunities for paper authors to break out in groups to work on paper drafts and content; 5) discuss stakeholder perspectives for each paper; and 6) discuss translation products, outreach and target audiences. The preliminary findings of the papers and workshop discussion will also provide the basis for the plenary talks at the International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant 2017 which will be held during the week following the workshop. The theme of the ICMGP 2017 is also “Integrating Research and Policy in a Changing World” and it will be a gathering of over 1,000 scientists and trainees from academic institutions around the world, national and international government representatives, and scientists and project managers working at mercury contaminated sites.

项目概要/摘要： 拟议的题为“在不断变化的世界中整合汞研究和政策”的讲习班将 由达特茅斯学院有毒金属超级基金研究项目赞助。它将解决重要的 围绕汞在环境中的命运的问题，并及时提请这些问题的注意， 参与《水俣条约》第一次缔约方会议的决策者。拟议 邀请研讨会将讨论以下核心目标：1。利用网络的专业知识， 研究汞在环境中的命运及其对人类的影响的科学家 生态系统; 2。促进政策利益攸关方和科学家之间就重要的 与美国和全球环境中汞的公共卫生政策和法规有关的问题; 3.为从事汞工作的科学家提供一个论坛，包括生物学家、毒理学家、地球化学家， 野生动物和人类健康科学家、风险评估科学家、流行病学家和医生， 将其结果传达给其他研究人员，并促进跨学科的信息交流， 将促进相关科学的发展; 4.确定有关汞最终结果的关键问题和知识差距， 环境中的迁移以及对人类和野生动物的接触和影响，以及5.听取政策意见 在国际和国家两级直接参与制定汞政策的利益攸关方， 确定他们需要科学来回答哪些关键问题，以帮助他们推进汞政策。 研讨会将以协作的方式召集决策者、利益攸关方和研究人员， 汞在环境中的归宿及其对人类和自然生态系统的影响，以：1）听取 利益攸关方和政策制定者关于汞相关政策的最新动态和需求 （2）共同努力，查明汞科学方面的差距和相关政策问题， 在综合文件中处理; 3）向小组提交文件草稿，并继续对话，以形成文件 和问题; 4）为论文作者提供机会，分组进行论文草稿的工作， 内容; 5）讨论每份文件的利益相关者观点;以及6）讨论翻译产品、外联和 目标受众。论文和讲习班讨论的初步结果也将提供基础， 2017年全球汞污染物国际会议全体会议将于 在研讨会后的一周。2017年ICMGP的主题也是“整合研究和 在一个不断变化的世界政策”，这将是一个超过1,000名科学家和学员的学术聚会， 世界各地的机构，国家和国际政府代表，科学家和项目 在汞污染场所工作的管理人员。
