Community Engagement Core

摘要（社区参与核心） 社区参与核心 (CEC) 将作为 CHARMED 成员能力建设的焦点 参与以社区原则为中心的富有成效和有意义的社区伙伴关系 从事研究（CEnR）。 CEC 将作为社区与 CHARMED 调查员的连接者，以 开发响应式、基于科学、教育和转化的解决方案，以满足社区确定的需求 建设 CHARMED 开展和参与多方位、响应式活动的能力 社区参与。 CEC 的总体目标是充当社区参与的渠道 在所有 CHARMED 核心和社区之间建立协同作用，以完成解决问题的共同使命 社区确定的环境健康问题。 CEC 建立在现有合作伙伴关系的基础上，重点关注 马里兰州地区在空气、水和土壤质量改善方面历史上和当前面临的挑战，扎实和 危险废物管理、老化基础设施、交通、能源基础设施、货物运输和 土地利用和开发。 CEC 将追求三个具体目标： 1) 培养 CHARMED 教师的能力 社区青年围绕环境健康问题了解、开展和参与 CER。 2） 加强现有并发展新的多向社区合作伙伴关系，以促进和提升 CHARMED 作为马里兰州地区社区确定的环境健康问题 CEnR 的联络点。 3) 使用两种方法回应社区关切： A) 生成响应性的、基于科学的、 针对公认的环境健康问题的环境健康教育和转化资源；和 B) 培育和发展 CEnR 项目以解决新出现的环境健康问题。首先，它将有助于构建 CHARMED 成员有能力培训下一代领导者，以开展响应迅速、基于科学、 环境健康CEnR。其次，它将加强现有的并发展新的多向伙伴关系 能够回应社区确定的环境健康问题。最后，CEC 将利用教育和 转化资源和新的 CEnR 项目来解决这些社区确定的环境健康问题 的担忧。

ABSTRACT (COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CORE) The Community Engagement Core (CEC) will serve as the focal point to build capacity of CHARMED members to engage in productive and meaningful community partnerships centered upon principles of community- engaged research (CEnR). The CEC will serve as a connector of communities with CHARMED investigators to develop responsive, science-based, educational and translational solutions to community-identified needs and build the capacity of the CHARMED to conduct and participate in multi-directional and responsive community-engagement. The overall objective of the CEC is to serve as the conduit for community engagement that creates synergy between all CHARMED Cores and communities to fulfill a shared mission of addressing community-identified environmental health concerns. The CEC builds upon existing partnerships focused on Maryland regional historical and ongoing challenges with air, water, and soil quality improvement, solid and hazardous waste management, aging infrastructure, transportation, energy infrastructure, goods movement, and land use and development. The CEC will pursue three specific aims: 1) Build capacity of CHARMED faculty and community youth to understand, conduct, and participate in CER around environmental health concerns. 2) Enhance existing and develop new multi-directional community partnerships to promote and elevate CHARMED as a focal point for CEnR of community-identified environmental health concerns around the Maryland region. 3) Respond to community concerns using two approaches: A) generate responsive, science-based, environmental health education and translational resources for recognized environmental health issues; and B) foster and develop CEnR projects to address emerging environmental health issues. First, it will help build capacity for CHARMED’s members to train the next generation of leaders to conduct responsive, science-based, environmental health CEnR. Second, it will enhance existing and develop new multi-directional partnerships that can respond to community-identified environmental health concerns. Finally, the CEC will use educational and translational resources and new CEnR projects to address these community-identified environmental health concerns.
