Core--Outreach

外展核心将由俄勒冈健康科学大学职业和环境毒理学研究中心（CROET）开发和组织。这将使外展核心能够利用CROET现有的外展计划。核心将结合传统和创新的方法，向感兴趣的公众、科学界和政府团体传达有关超级基金基础研究中心的信息。沟通方法将包括向社区和利益相关者团体口头介绍超级基金研究中心，提供信息的小册子，在地区会议上展出，以及一个广泛的互联网站点。关于超级基金研究中心的信息将包括在CROET的季度通讯、定期邮件、网站以及俄勒冈州、华盛顿州南部和东部的演讲中。此外，CROET毒理学信息中心将回答有关超级基金研究中心工作的问题。由于许多人要么在家里有电脑，要么通过工作、学校或图书馆使用电脑，因此该网站有望成为推广工作的重要组成部分。将在相关的俄勒冈会议上为第一次和高级用户提供互联网使用会议。在环境会议和CROET教师学习会议上的其他会议将介绍超级基金的网站；这应该会激发人们的兴趣，并使他们一次又一次地返回网站以获取更新的信息。计数器将测量整个网站以进行评估。以社区为基础的委员会会议将有助于规划外联工作。每个月的电话会议将使每个成员充分了解情况。监督委员会的成员，环境问题教育计划的研究，以及信息会议将帮助有兴趣的人继续了解超级基金研究中心科学家们所解决的进展和问题。外展核心将开发并试验一种通过互联网传递信息的创新方法。俄勒冈州一个偏远的农村社区在一个危险废物场附近被选中进行这项活动。我们的目标是提高人们对居住在这个地点附近的潜在危险的认识。这项测试的结果将有助于开发和改进这项创新技术，以便向居住在超级基金场址附近偏远地区的居民提供信息。

The Outreach Core will be developed and organized at the Center for Research on Occupational and Environmental Toxicology (CROET), Oregon Health Sciences University. This will allow the Outreach Core to capitalize on the CROET's existing outreach program. The Core will combine traditional and innovative methods to convey information about the Superfund Basic Research Center to interested members of the public, scientific, and government communities. Communication methods will include oral presentations about the Superfund Research Center to community and stakeholder groups, informational brochures, exhibits at area conventions, and an extensive Internet site. Information about the Superfund Research Center will be included in CROET's quarterly newsletters, regular mailers, website, and presentations throughout Oregon and Southern and Eastern Washington. In addition, the CROET Toxicology Information Center will respond to questions about the work of the Superfund Research CENTER. As many people either have a home computer or access to one through work, school, or the library, the website is expected to be a major part of the outreach effort. Internet-use sessions for first-timers and advanced users will be provided at relevant Oregon conferences. Additional sessions at environmental conferences and teacher-learning sessions at CROET will feature the Superfund web site; this should stimulate interest among people and cause them to return to the site again and again for updated information. Counters will measure the total website for evaluation purposes. Community-based committee meetings will help plan the outreach effort. Teleconference calls each month will keep each member fully informed. Member on oversight committees, research on environmental issues education programs, and informative meetings will help interested people continue to be informed on the progress and issues addressed by Superfund Research Center scientists. The Outreach Core will develop and test an innovative method to convey information via the Internet. A distant rural Oregon community in the vicinity of a hazardous waste site has been selected for this activity. The goal will be to raise the level of understanding regarding the potential hazards of living near this site. The results of this test will allow to develop and improve upon this innovative technique for providing information to populations living in remote locations in the vicinity of Superfund sites.
