Core--Outreach

外展核心将在俄勒冈州健康科学大学职业和环境毒理学研究中心（CROET）开发和组织。这将使外联核心能够利用CROET现有的外联方案。该核心将结合联合收割机传统和创新的方法来传达有关超级基金基础研究中心的信息，以感兴趣的公众，科学和政府社区的成员。交流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，信息手册，地区会议展览和广泛的互联网网站。有关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，并介绍整个俄勒冈州和南部和东部华盛顿。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。由于许多人要么有一台家用电脑，要么通过工作、学校或图书馆使用电脑，预计该网站将成为宣传工作的一个主要部分。将在相关的俄勒冈州会议上为首次使用互联网的用户和高级用户提供互联网使用会议。环境会议的其他会议和在CROET的教师学习会议将特别介绍超级基金网址;这将引起人们的兴趣，并使他们一次又一次地返回该网址以获得最新资料。计数器将测量整个网站的评估目的。社区委员会会议将有助于规划外联工作。每个月的会议电话将使每个成员充分了解情况。监督委员会成员、环境问题研究教育计划和信息会议将帮助感兴趣的人继续了解超级基金研究中心科学家所解决的进展和问题。外联核心将开发和测试一种通过因特网传递信息的创新方法。选择了一个危险废物场附近的遥远的俄勒冈州农村社区开展这项活动。目标是提高人们对在该场址附近生活的潜在危险的认识。这项测试的结果将有助于开发和改进这一创新技术，为生活在超级基金地点附近偏远地区的人口提供信息。

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.
