核心摘要/摘要 由URI领导的STEEP（PFAS的来源、运输、暴露和影响）研究翻译核心 (RTC)将利用和加强现有的关系和通信网络， 关于PFASs及其对人类健康影响的信息，以及STEEP的科学成就， 利益相关者，包括其他SRP中心及其相关研究人员;州和联邦监管机构 各机构，特别是环境保护部（MADEP）和公共卫生部（MADPH）， 国际扶轮环境管理部（RIDEM）和卫生部（RIDOH）、美国环保署和环境保护署 有毒物质和疾病登记处（ATSDR）;联邦、州和地方的管理人员和决策者 水平;和社区科德角，马，在水文羽流的军事/消防训练基地 可能通过饮用水接触PFAS。 RTC将通过使过程迭代来增强传统的双向通信 这不断地关闭了由科学发现指导的更具体问题的信息循环。的 RTC将使STEEP的研究结果和这些发现的影响易于访问， 帮助利益攸关方了解全氟辛烷磺酸的影响和风险特征。作为迭代的一部分， RTC将在整体沟通战略中为利益相关者提供机会， 定期向SRP研究人员提供反馈，并为研究人员提供明确的时间轴， 回应社区关切。随着这一迭代过程的继续，利益相关者和研究人员将缩小 研究需要管理和监管应用的科学问题和研究。 为了实现总体目标，RTC将为以下对象开发有针对性的信息：1） STEEP和更广泛的SRP网络; 2）州和联邦机构，包括NIEHS、美国EPA、ATSDR和 3）其他终端用户，重点是科德角、马萨诸塞州和法罗群岛的社区; 4)由专门知识增强网络确定的其他群体。此外，RTC将提供 适当和及时地提供有关PFAS和研究结果的信息，以便： 1.确保STEEP的结果在跨理论模型的原则指导下得到广泛传播。 行为改变（TTM）; 2.向州和联邦监管机构以及行业领导者提供信息，以影响 减少全氟辛烷磺酸的使用，以保护人类健康; 3.酌情促进技术转让; 4.与中央选举委员会建立协同关系，确保向受影响社区传播信息， 提高STEEP学员、科学家和研究人员的沟通技巧; 5.与中央选举委员会和过渡委员会合作，协调广泛的外联和宣传工作。

CORE SUMMARY/ABSTRACT URI-led STEEP's (Sources, Transport, Exposure and Effects of PFASs) Research Translation Core (RTC) will leverage and build upon already existing relationships and communication networks to disseminate information on PFASs and their human health impacts, and STEEP's scientific accomplishments to its stakeholders, including other SRP centers and their associated researchers; state and federal regulatory agencies, especially the MA Departments of Environmental Protection (MADEP) and Public Health (MADPH), RI Departments of Environmental Management (RIDEM) and Health (RIDOH), U.S. EPA, and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR); managers and decision-makers at federal, state, and local levels; and communities on Cape Cod, MA, within the hydrologic plume of the military/firefighting training base that have potential PFAS exposure through drinking water. The RTC will enhance traditional bi-directional communication by making the process an iterative one that constantly closes the informational loop on ever more specific concerns guided by scientific findings. The RTC will make STEEP's research results and the implications of these findings readily accessible to stakeholders to assist them in understanding PFASs effects and characterizing risk. As part of the iterative process, RTC will embed in the overall communication strategy opportunities for stakeholders to provide feedback to the SRP researchers at regular intervals, and a clear timeline for researchers to provide updates in response to community concerns. As this iterative process continues, stakeholders and researchers will narrow in on scientific questions and research that have needed management and regulatory applications. To accomplish the overarching goal, RTC will develop targeted messages for: 1) researchers within STEEP and the broader SRP network; 2) state and federal agencies including NIEHS, U.S. EPA, ATSDR, and Tribal councils; 3) other end-users with a focus on communities on Cape Cod, MA, and the Faroe Islands; and 4) additional groups as identified by the Expertise Enhancing Network. Moreover, the RTC will provide appropriate and timely information on PFASs and unfolding research findings in order to: 1. Ensure STEEP's results are widely disseminated guided by principles of the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change (TTM); 2. Provide information to state and federal regulators as well as industry leaders to influence the mitigation of PFASs use to protect human health; 3. Facilitate technology transfer where appropriate; 4. Synergize relationship with CEC to ensure dissemination of information to impacted communities, and improve communication techniques of STEEP trainees, scientists, and researchers; and 5. Coordinate broad-spectrum outreach and communication efforts in partnership with CEC and TC.
