项目总结 RTC与所有ISRP教职员工和受训人员合作，寻找将其战略沟通整合到一起的方法 把科学融入到他们的活动中。该核心的主要活动旨在优化以下机会 将ISRP研究项目的结果转化为有意义的成果，使广大公众受益。 这些成果将通过广泛的活动组合加以转化，以连接到广泛和多样化的 一组利益相关者，包括国际和国内科学家、全球超级基金研究计划 国家、地方、州和联邦政策制定者和普通公众。我们采用持续评估来 改进每项核心和调查员发起的翻译活动，以加强区域技术中心活动的整合， 并确保RTC最大限度地发挥ISRP改善健康和环境健康的潜力 政策。RTC的目标是： 1.在SRP内与国际、国家和地方的学术和研究同事进行沟通 2.与政府机构合作，促进制定健全的公共政策和做法 3.向有能力开发和提供产品或服务的商业企业正式转让技术 对公众而言 4.帮助公众更广泛地了解有关环境的问题和解决方案 通过向其他终端用户传播信息来进行危害及其补救 研究翻译的核心功能是将ISRP研究的含义通过 最适合每个人的方式。使我们的工作与众不同的具体创新是组织两年一次的 国际印刷电路板讲习班，与当选的州议员及其工作人员接触和参与，以及 我们农村科学咖啡馆的建立和成功，将ISRP调查人员和受训人员带到小的农村 爱荷华州城镇吸引非专业观众了解SRP工作及其对他们社区的影响。这些 创新得到了全面的创业方法的支持，以交流成果和 通过多种方式向众多受众提供活动，包括传统媒体关系、社交媒体、互动 Web应用程序和决策支持工具，以及继续教育网络研讨会 专业协会。

PROJECT SUMMARY The RTC works with all isrp faculty, staff and trainees to find ways to integrate strategic communication of their science into their activities. The major activities of this Core are designed to optimize opportunities for translating the findings of isrp research projects into meaningful outcomes that will benefit the public at large. These outcomes will be translated through an extensive portfolio of activities to connect to a wide and diverse set of stakeholders, including international and domestic scientists, Superfund Research Programs across the country, local, state, and federal policy-makers and the general public. We employ continuous evaluation to improve each core and investigator-initiated translational activity, to enhance the integration of RTC activities, and to ensure that the RTC maximizes the potential for the isrp to improve health and environmental health policy. The aims of the RTC are to: 1. Communicate within SRP to academic and research colleagues internationally, nationally and locally 2. Partner with government agencies to facilitate the development of sound public policies and practices 3. Formally transfer technology to commercial enterprises able to develop and deliver products or services to the public 4. Contribute to a broader public understanding of problems and solutions regarding environmental hazards and their remediation through information dissemination to other end users The Research Translation Core functions to convey the implications of isrp research to many audiences in a manner most appropriate to each. Specific innovations that distinguish our work are the organization of biennial international PCB workshops, outreach to and engagement of elected state legislators and their staffs, and the establishment and success of our rural science cafes, which bring isrp investigators and trainees to small, rural Iowa towns to engage lay audiences in learning about SRP work and how it affects their communities. These innovations are supported by a comprehensive, entrepreneurial approach to communicating results and activities to many audiences by many methods, including traditional media relations, social media, interactive web applications and decision support tools, and continuing education webinars in partnership with professional associations.
