Community Outreach and Education Core (Core B)

男性生殖表观基因组学中心的社区推广和教育核心将设在 并通过位于港湾-加州大学洛杉矶分校医学中心的洛杉矶生物医学研究所(LA Bied)进行操作 位于洛杉矶西南部。该核心将开发旨在 传播关于生活方式对精子基因表达的表观遗传调节的影响的信息 可以传给下一代。我们的主题是倡导健康的生活方式，健康的精子 表观基因组，健康的婴儿“。在我们之前的合作和社区-学术伙伴关系的基础上，我们计划 通过吸引青年、高中生和大学生以及来自我们的 传播生殖表观基因组学信息及其对下一代的影响。 我们有四个目标：目标1.促进和维持社区和社区之间的双向知识共享 学术机构通过提供联网机会和发展特定社区 关于肥胖和不活动如何改变精子表观基因组的循证信息的传播计划 将不健康的表型和表型传递给下一代。目标2.创建教育项目， 举办研讨会和会议，吸引年轻人、大学生和高中生(未来的父母)参与 传播关于“健康的生活方式，健康的生殖表观基因组；健康的婴儿”的信息。带着我们的 合作伙伴我们将为年轻人举办社区合作的研究会议和研讨会，以及 暑期计划对高中生和大学生提供知识转移的影响 环境对表观遗传学的影响？环境的改善如何逆转不良的表观遗传 改变？表观遗传学如何与疾病表型的代际传播联系在一起？目标3. 为男性生殖基因组中心开发一个以社区为中心的网站。与我们的 社区合作伙伴，内华达大学雷诺分校和德克萨斯大学旧金山分校的学术合作伙伴 安东尼奥，我们将开发一个文化和种族敏感的网站，提供关于 生殖健康中的表观基因组学以及精子表观基因组学对下一代健康的影响。 目标4.建立社区核心咨询委员会的治理和运作结构 加强现有的伙伴关系，并在社区和学术界之间建立新的教育和 研究。

The Community Outreach and Education Core of the Center for Male Reproductive Epigenomics will be located and operated though Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute (LA Biomed) at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center located in South West Los Angeles. This Core will develop outreach and education programs designed to disseminate information on the effects of life styles on the epigenetic regulation of sperm gene expression that may be transmitted to the next generation. Our theme is to promote “Healthy life style, Healthy sperm epigenome, Healthy babies”. Building on our prior collaboration and community-academic partnership, we plan to achieve our goals by engaging youths, high school and college students, and younger adults from our communities to disseminate information on reproductive epigenomics and their effects on the next generation. We have four aims: Aim 1. Promote and sustain bidirectional knowledge sharing between the community and academic institutions by providing opportunities for networking and developing a community specific dissemination plan for evidence based information on how obesity and inactivity change the sperm epigenome transmitting unhealthy phenotype and epigenotype to the next generation. Aim 2. Create educational programs, workshops and conferences to engage younger adults, college and high school students (future parents) to disseminate information on “healthy life styles, healthy reproductive epigenome; healthy babies”. With our partners we will conduct community-partnered research conferences and workshops for younger adults, and summer program for high school and college students to provide knowledge transfer on the impact of environment on epigenetics? how improvement in the environment may reverse maladaptive epigenetic changes? and how epigenetics are linked to intergenerational transmission of disease phenotype? Aim 3. Develop a community focused website for the Center for Male Reproductive Genomics. Working with our community partners, academic partners at the University of Nevada Reno and the University of Texas San Antonio, we will develop a culturally and racially sensitive website to provide information on the role of epigenomics in reproductive health in general and impact of sperm epigenomics on next generation’s health. Aim 4. Establish the governance and operation structure of the Community Core Advisory Council that strengthens existing partnerships and builds new bridges between community and academia for education and research.
