Researching Women's Environmental Health 2010

描述（由申请人提供）：第二次研究妇女的环境健康（RWEH）研讨会将于2010年9月15日在罗切斯特，纽约在医学和牙科罗切斯特大学学院。本次研讨会有四个目标：1）展示尖端科学发现，表明环境暴露如何改变食品安全，营养成分和促进肥胖的能力; 2）展示一个“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、媒体和社区领导人需要哪些信息，以便就食品、营养和环境领域的科学发现采取适当行动;以及4）确定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。我们挑选杰出的发言者名单就是为了实现这些目标。与2009年一样，目标是编写一份经同行审查的出版物。今年的出版物应使人们深入了解是什么促进了将研究结果翻译给媒体和政策领导人。RWEH研讨会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）确保一个解决讲习班目标的方案，2）协助将有关讲习班的信息带给所有赞助者，3）获得来自全国各地的不同观众。为此，我们将开发一个网站，利用邮件向有关媒体和政策团体和社区领导人以及大学联系人。鉴于其强烈强调翻译妇女的环境健康研究和评价这一翻译过程，农村妇女、环境和健康讲习班应该是感兴趣的国家环境健康科学研究所。 公共卫生相关性：第二次研究妇女环境健康（RWEH）研讨会将于2010年9月15日在纽约罗切斯特的罗切斯特大学举行。为了回应我们2009年研讨会与会者的反馈，2010年RWEH的科学重点将是与食物和肥胖有关的环境。领先的科学家将展示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最有效地翻译和传达给媒体，政策制定者和社区领导人。最终结果将是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的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.
