Researching Women's Environmental Health 2010

描述(由申请者提供)：第二届研究女性环境健康(RWEH)研讨会将于2010年9月15日在纽约罗切斯特大学医学和牙科学院举行。该研讨会有四个目标：1)展示尖端科学发现，展示环境暴露如何改变食品安全、营养含量和促进肥胖的能力；2)介绍一个“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)了解政策制定者、媒体和社区领导人需要什么信息，以便对食品、营养和环境领域的科学发现采取适当行动；4)找出阻碍将这些领域的环境健康研究转化为可操作政策的障碍，并了解如何克服这些障碍。我们优秀的发言者名册就是为了实现这些目标而选择的。与2009年一样，我们的目标是制作一份同行评议的出版物。今年的出版物应该提供关于如何促进将研究成果翻译给媒体和政策领导人的见解。RWEH研讨会的组委会成员包括我们目标群体的成员。组织顾问委员会致力于1)确保一个满足研讨会目标的计划，2)协助将关于研讨会的信息带给所有选民，3)获得来自全国各地的不同受众。为此，我们将开发一个网站，利用向相关媒体和政策团体、社区领导人以及大学联系人发送的邮件。鉴于其对妇女环境健康研究的转化和对这一转化过程的评估的高度重视，国家环境健康科学研究所应该会对RWEH研讨会感兴趣。 公共卫生相关性：第二届研究女性环境健康(RWEH)研讨会将于2010年9月15日在纽约罗切斯特大学举行。为了回应与会者对我们2009年研讨会的反馈，RWEH 2010的科学重点将放在与食物和肥胖有关的环境上。主要科学家将介绍他们在这一领域的研究成果，与会者将讨论如何将环境健康科学转化为环境健康科学，并将其最有效地传达给媒体、政策制定者和社区领导人。最终结果将是出版一份描述这一过程的出版物，概述研究人员如何更有效地向不同受众传播他们的工作，以及如何将研讨会环境用作研究翻译的论坛。

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.
