CORE SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The goal of the Community Engagement Core (CEC) is to advance science through a deliberative and participatory process of community-based engagement, education, research, and advocacy, in order to improve public health and inform public health policy. We will strengthen existing relationships and forge new partnerships with non-governmental community organizations that represent residents impacted by specific Rhode Island Superfund and Brownfield sites contaminated with complex hazardous substances: Blackstone River Watershed Council (Petersen Puritan Superfund); Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council (Centredale Manor Superfund), Environmental Justice League of Rhode Island (Gorham/Textron site), and Urban Pond Procession (Mashapaug Pond). We will engage the Rhode Island Indian Council and Narragansett Tribal leaders, elders, adults, and youth through community-based participatory study so that they will be able to address their environment and environmental health related concerns in a way that connects cultural ways of knowing with technical and scientific knowledge. In working with the Narragansett Tribe, CEC will assess the impact of their Tribal land and watershed contamination on Tribal members' health. CEC will work to enhance long-term, mutually beneficial, bi-directional knowledge exchange by (1) facilitating opportunities for SRP scientists to understand the social and economic contexts of their research, and for community members and non-governmental community organizations to gain awareness and understanding of SRP research; (2) increasing opportunities for community-centered environmental leadership; and (3) promoting environmental health literacy through innovative collaborative strategies with high schools in affected communities. CEC aims to build the capacity to conduct Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) in Rhode Island, and seek opportunities to integrate HIAs into the state's sustainability strategic planning process and environmental health policies. CEC will continue to advocate for environmental justice to reduce or eliminate environmental exposures and promote public health by assisting state regulators and legislators with systematic analyses of proposed and existing environmental health policy and regulations to improve their efficacy. In order to accomplish these goals, CEC will employ innovative, multi-tiered collaborative strategies (engage, educate, empower) to support the needs of these communities and address their environment and environmental health related issues. CEC has co-signed a Memorandum of Understanding with each partner. A jointly developed scope of work establishes objectives and outlines the project plan, roles and responsibilities, and the mechanisms for sustaining an effective working relationship. Depending upon the project, development, implementation, and evaluation will follow established community-based participatory research, health impact assessment, or other valid and reliable research methodologies.

核心摘要/摘要 社区参与核心（CEC）的目标是通过审议和 以社区为基础的参与、教育、研究和宣传的参与性进程， 改善公共卫生和宣传公共卫生政策。我们将加强现有的关系， * 与代表受具体影响居民的非政府社区组织建立伙伴关系 罗得岛超级基金和布朗菲尔德场地受到复杂危险物质污染：黑石 河流流域理事会（彼得森清教徒超级基金）;伍纳斯夸塔基特河流域理事会 （中央谷庄园超级基金），罗得岛环境正义联盟（戈勒姆/德事隆网站），和 城市池塘游行（Mashapaug Pond）。我们将与罗得岛印第安人理事会接触， 纳拉甘塞特部落领袖、长者、成年人和青年通过社区参与式研究， 他们将能够解决他们的环境和环境健康相关的问题， 将文化认知方式与技术和科学知识联系起来。在与纳拉甘塞特人的合作中 CEC将评估其部落土地和流域污染对部落成员健康的影响。 CEC将致力于通过以下方式加强长期、互利、双向的知识交流：（1）促进 SRP科学家有机会了解他们研究的社会和经济背景， 社区成员和非政府社区组织， SRP研究;（2）增加以社区为中心的环境领导的机会;（3） 通过与高中的创新合作战略促进环境卫生知识的普及， 受影响的社区。CEC旨在建设在罗德岛进行健康影响评估的能力 岛屿，并寻求机会将HIA纳入国家的可持续发展战略规划进程， 环境卫生政策。CEC将继续倡导环境正义，以减少或消除 通过协助州监管机构和立法者， 系统分析拟议的和现有的环境卫生政策和法规， 功效为了实现这些目标，CEC将采用创新的，多层次的合作战略 （参与、教育、赋权），以支持这些社区的需求，并解决其环境问题， 与环境卫生有关的问题。CEC与每个合作伙伴共同签署了谅解备忘录。 共同制定的工作范围确定了目标，并概述了项目计划、角色和 责任，以及维持有效工作关系的机制。取决于 项目、开发、实施和评估将遵循既定的基于社区的参与性 研究、健康影响评估或其他有效和可靠的研究方法。
