National Symposium on Risk Communications Research and Practitioners' Needs

该奖项是根据探索性研究小额赠款(SGER)计划颁发的，目的是资助一个关于风险沟通研究议程的研讨会，以响应开展风险沟通活动的从业者和机构的需求。将为受邀的研究人员和从业人员举办一次全国研讨会，以审议与不同的社会和文化群体进行交流的研究议程、环境决策的方法和风险沟通的评估。这次研讨会具有探索性和创新性，因为它汇聚了一个研究领域的研究人员和实践者，尽管它才刚刚开始发展科学方法和技术，但在制度上需求很高。美国环境保护署也为这次研讨会做出了贡献。

This award is made under the Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER) program to contribute to the funding of a workshop on a research agenda for risk communication that is responsive to the needs of practitioners and agencies which conduct risk communication activities. A national symposium for invited researchers and practitioners will be held to consider a research agenda to pursue communicating with different social and cultural groups, approaches to environmental decision making, and evaluation of risk communication. The symposium is exploratory and innovative because it brings together the researchers and the practitioners in an area of study that is in high demand institutionally although it is just beginning to develop scientific methodology and techniques. The U.S Environmental Protection Agency is also contributing to this workshop.
