CORE--OUTREACH TO MEXICO

我们的目标是将我们的研究成果从大学实验室转移到位于美国西南部和墨西哥西北部沙漠的公共和私营部门。我们希望成为这一环境敏感领域的研究和信息资源，但我们发现普遍缺乏毒理学、风险评估和补救方面的知识。西南环境健康科学中心（SWEHSC）已经解决了同样的知识差距，但我们将注意力集中在墨西哥和讲西班牙语的人口上。我们建议相互合作，发挥各自的优势。我们的目标是：具体目标1。编写和翻译本科水平的教学材料，基本的环境毒理学，风险评估，并在互联网上的补救西班牙语。具体目标2。用西班牙语写一本适合专业工程师、公共卫生工作者和政府官员的关于环境毒理学、风险评估和补救的工作手册。具体目标3。与墨西哥毒理学家共同主办两国科学会议。具体目标4。为墨西哥大学教授环境科学的教师建立毒理学和环境工程的综合教学和研究计划。这个为期1-2周的计划将设在图森，并将与（SWEHSC）为7- 1 - 2年级教师建立的计划合作。具体目标5.定期与我们的政府/行业咨询委员会成员会面。

Our objective is to move our results out of the University laboratory and into the public and private sectors located in the desert Southwest United States and Northwest Mexico. We want to be a research and information resource and information resource in this environmentally sensitive area but we have found a general lack of knowledge of toxicology, risk assessment and remediation. This same knowledge gap has been addressed by the Southwest Environmental Health Science Center (SWEHSC) but we have focused our attention on Mexico and Spanish- speaking populations. We propose to collaborate with each other to take advantage of our respective strengths. Our Specific Aims are: Specific Aim 1. Write and translate undergraduate level instructional materials on basic environmental toxicology, risk assessment, and remediation on the Internet in Spanish. Specific Aim 2. Write a workbook on environmental toxicology, risk assessment, and remediation suitable for professional engineers, public health workers and governmental officials in Spanish. Specific Aim 3. Co-sponsor binational scientific meetings with Mexican Toxicologists. Specific Aim 4. Establish a combined instruction and research program in Toxicology and Environmental Engineering for Mexican university faculty who teach in the Environmental Sciences. This 1-2 week program will be located in Tucson and will collaborate with the program established for the grades 7-12 schoolteachers by the (SWEHSC). Specific Aim 5. Meet regularly with our Government/Industry Advisory Board members.
