Researching Women's Environmental Health 2010

描述（由申请人提供）：第二届研究妇女环境健康（RWEH）研讨会将于2010年9月15日在纽约州罗切斯特市罗切斯特大学医学和牙科学院举行。本次研讨会有四个目标；1)展示展示环境暴露如何改变食品安全、营养成分和促进肥胖能力的前沿科学发现；2)提供一个“案例研究”，说明在食品、营养和环境领域从科学到政策的成功转化；3)了解决策者、媒体和社区领袖需要哪些信息，以便对食品、营养和环境领域的科学发现采取适当行动；4)确定阻碍这些领域的环境卫生研究转化为可操作政策的障碍，并了解如何克服这些障碍。我们挑选杰出的发言者名单是为了实现这些目标。与2009年一样，目标是出版同行评议的出版物。今年的出版物应该提供有关如何促进将研究成果翻译给媒体和政策领导人的见解。RWEH工作坊的组织委员会包括我们目标群体的成员。组织咨询委员会致力于：1)确保项目符合研讨会的目标；2)协助将研讨会的信息传达给所有选区；3)吸引来自全国各地的不同受众。为此，我们会建立一个网站，向有关媒体、政策团体、社区领袖和大学的联络人发送邮件。鉴于该讲习班非常强调妇女环境卫生研究的转化和对这一转化过程的评价，国家环境卫生科学研究所应该对妇女环境卫生讲习班感兴趣。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The second Researching Women's Environmental Health (RWEH) Workshop will be held September 15, 2010 in Rochester, New York at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. This workshop has four goals; 1) to present cutting edge scientific findings that show how environmental exposures can alter food safety, nutritional content and ability to promote obesity; 2) to present a "case study" that illustrates the successful translation from science to policy in the area of food, nutrition, and the environment; 3) to learn what information policy-makers, the media, and community leaders need in order to take appropriate action on scientific findings in the area of food, nutrition and the environment; and 4) to identify barriers that prevent the translation of environmental health research in these areas to actionable policy, and understand how to overcome these obstacles. Our outstanding roster of speakers was chosen to meet these objectives. The goal is, as in 2009, to produce a peer reviewed publication. This years' publication should provide insights into what facilitates translation of research findings to media and policy leaders. The organizing committee for the RWEH workshop includes members of our target groups. The organizing advisory committee is committed to 1) ensuring a program that addresses the workshop aims, 2) assisting in bringing information about the workshop to all constituencies and 3) attaining a diverse audience, drawn from across the country. To this end we will develop a website, make use of mailings to relevant media and policy groups and community leaders as well as university contacts. Given its strong emphasis on the translation of women's environmental health research and evaluation of this translational process, the RWEH workshop should be of interest to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The second Researching Women's Environmental Health (RWEH) Workshop will be held September 15, 2010 in Rochester, New York at the University of Rochester. In response to participant feedback from our 2009 workshop, the scientific focus of RWEH 2010 will be on the environment in relation to food and obesity. Leading scientists will present their research findings in this field and participants will discuss how environmental health science can be translated and communicated most effectively to media, policy-makers, and community leaders. An end result will be a publication that describes this process, outlining how researchers can more effectively disseminate their work to diverse audiences and how the workshop setting can be used as a forum for research translation.
