ABSTRACT: Community Outreach and Engagement Core With its scientific theme of the exposome, HERCULES has been a unifying force for residents, community- based organizations, government agencies and academic partners in Atlanta. We propose to build on the momentum of our first three years to: 1) maintain and expand multi-directional dialogue around environmental health issues within the Atlanta community, 2) enhance community capacity to address local environmental health concerns and to partner in community-engaged research projects, and 3) guide and support HERCULES Scientists in community engagement and outreach. We have formed a large and actively engaged Stakeholder Advisory Board that not only serves as a platform for multi-directional communication about environmental health issues and research, but also makes decisions about how the Community Outreach and Engagement Core (COEC) should advance its agenda. Specifically, we plan to conduct “Exposome Roadshows” to further disseminate the exposome concept and employ concept mapping to ensure that community perspectives are integrated into exposome frameworks as they evolve. Our Community Grants program will address community-identified environmental health concerns that incorporate an exposome perspective, as well as strengthen community capacity to address environmental health concerns. Additionally, we will develop a Community-Based Participatory Research course for doctoral students in the Environmental Health Sciences Program to prepare future scientists for community-engaged research and we will consult with faculty who receive a CBPR pilot grant from HERCULES and/or who are interested in integrating community-engaged approaches into their environmental health research. The COEC will provide the needed mechanisms to ensure that community voices inform the HERCULES scientists of local environmental health concerns, with a particular emphasis on neighborhoods disproportionately affected by environmental exposures. In turn, exposome concepts and research findings will be discussed with local communities, public health professionals and policy-makers in a format that is both relevant and accessible. Through a robust evaluation, we will engage in continuous quality improvement of COEC approaches, as well as contribute to the science of community engagement in environmental health.

摘要：社区外展和参与核心 凭借其麻烦的科学主题，HERCULES一直是居民的统一力量，社区- 总部设在亚特兰大的组织，政府机构和学术合作伙伴。我们建议在 我们的第一个三年的势头：1）保持和扩大围绕环境的多方向对话 亚特兰大社区内的健康问题，2）提高社区解决当地环境问题的能力 健康问题和合作伙伴在社区参与的研究项目，和3）指导和支持 HERCULES社区参与和外联的科学家。我们已经形成了一个庞大的，积极参与 利益相关者咨询委员会，不仅作为一个平台，多方位的沟通， 环境健康问题和研究，而且还决定如何社区外展， 参与核心（COEC）应该推进其议程。具体来说，我们计划进行“Exposome” 路演”，以进一步传播棘手的概念，并采用概念映射，以确保 随着复杂框架的发展，社区观点被纳入其中。我们的社区赠款 该计划将解决社区确定的环境健康问题，包括一个麻烦 这一战略将有助于从更高的角度看待环境问题，并加强社区解决环境健康问题的能力。 此外，我们将为博士生开发一个以社区为基础的前瞻性研究课程， 环境健康科学计划，以准备未来的科学家为社区参与的研究，我们 我将与谁收到从HERCULES CBPR试点补助金和/或谁有兴趣在教师咨询 将社区参与的方法纳入其环境健康研究。COEC将提供 需要建立必要的机制，以确保社区的声音告知HERCULES科学家当地的 环境健康问题，特别强调社区不成比例地受到 环境暴露。此外，我们亦会与本地研究人员讨论一些令人困扰的概念和研究结果。 社区、公共卫生专业人员和政策制定者以相关和可获得的形式。 通过强有力的评估，我们还将参与COEC方法的持续质量改进 为社区参与环境健康科学做出贡献。
