Community Engagement Core (Core C): Project Abstract/Summary The Community Engagement Core (CEC) plays a central role by supporting engagement with stakeholders for all other Projects and Cores and is supported by the MIT-SRP Engagement and Translation Advisory Committee members. The CEC supports the MIT-SRP mission of creating and applying new technologies to predict the spatiotemporal dynamics of contaminants and to reveal their health impact in order to support Public Health. Central to these activities is the mission to engage meaningfully with local, State, and National agencies as well as citizens impacted by contaminants in their environment. The CEC will partner with environmental advocacy groups for the Mystic River Watershed communities, which contain three Superfund sites, as well as with environmental officers and educators working with five Tribal Nation communities in rural Maine, one of which is living near the Loring USAFB Superfund site. A bidirectional exchange of resources and knowledge will continue to be sustained by participation of MIT-SRP researchers in meetings and events sponsored by our partners, and in the case of Maine, with regular visits of the MIT-SRP Leaders to Maine as well as the annual three-day EPA Region 1 Environmental Tribal Summit. The CEC currently has two major Tribal Nation partners: Maine Indian Education (MIE) and the Micmac Environmental Lab. The CEC recognizes that culturally appropriate partnerships require relationships that can only be built over time, and we thus appreciate the support we have gained from our partners; we have built these strong partnerships over the past three years. Going forward, we will engage with additional partners to support other Environmental Justice (EJ) communities. For Massachusetts, our primary partner is the Mystic River Watershed Association and within their catchment area, we additionally will partner with the Friends of the Malden River to help attend to three Environmental Justice communities, Malden, Medford and Everett, which are impacted by legacy contaminants, including PAHs and N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). The CEC will sponsor Citizen Science programs guided by MIT student interns to bridge the gap between researchers and community members. These activities will include using innovative sensors developed by Project 1 to detect target contaminants and sharing results with our engagement partners' newsletters, websites, and local newspapers. Additional engagement activities center around environmental health literacy, delivered through teacher training workshops, school curricula and informal venues, such as community events. New findings, as well as best practices, will be regularly shared with the public health community and other sister SRP Centers via the MIT-SRP website and newsletters. Lastly, to ensure a successful program, the CEC has also designed evaluation instruments to help the Core continuously improve its practices.

社区参与核心（核心C）：项目摘要/摘要 社区参与核心（CEC）通过支持与 所有其他项目和核心的利益相关者，并得到MIT-SRP参与和翻译的支持 咨询委员会成员。CEC支持MIT-SRP的使命， 预测污染物时空动态并揭示其健康影响的技术， 支持公共卫生。这些活动的核心是使命，即与地方、州和 国家机构和公民受到其环境中污染物的影响。CEC将与 神秘河流域社区的环境倡导团体，其中包括三个超级基金 地点，以及环境官员和教育工作者与五个部落民族社区在农村 缅因州，其中一个是生活在洛林美国空军超级基金网站附近。资源的双向交换， 通过麻省理工学院-SRP研究人员参加会议和活动，将继续保持知识 由我们的合作伙伴赞助，在缅因州的情况下，麻省理工学院-SRP领导人定期访问缅因州， 以及为期三天的年度EPA区域1环境部落峰会。CEC目前有两个主要 部落国家合作伙伴：缅因州印第安教育（MIE）和Micmac环境实验室。CEC承认 文化上适当的伙伴关系需要的关系只能随着时间的推移而建立，因此， 我感谢我们从合作伙伴那里获得的支持;我们在过去建立了这些强有力的伙伴关系 三年展望未来，我们将与更多的合作伙伴合作，以支持其他环境正义（EJ） 社区.对于马萨诸塞州，我们的主要合作伙伴是神秘河流域协会， 集水区，我们还将与莫尔登河之友合作，帮助参加三个 环境正义社区，马尔登，梅德福和埃弗雷特，这是受遗留污染物的影响， 包括多环芳烃和N-亚硝基二甲胺（NDMA）。CEC将赞助公民科学项目， 由麻省理工学院的学生实习生来弥合研究人员和社区成员之间的差距。这些活动将 包括使用项目1开发的创新传感器来检测目标污染物，并与 我们的项目合作伙伴的新闻通讯、网站和当地报纸。其他参与活动中心 通过教师培训讲习班、学校课程和非正式的 场地，如社区活动。新的调查结果以及最佳做法将定期与 公共卫生社区和其他姐妹SRP中心通过MIT-SRP网站和通讯。最后他们希望 为了确保计划的成功，CEC还设计了评估工具，以帮助核心不断 改进其做法。
