Core--Outreach

外展核心是BU SBRP与社区之间的沟通渠道。七个组织加上环境保护局第一区超级基金社区参与方案已同意参与其运作。该核心旨在促进信息的双向流动，由BU SBRP调查人员参加由参与社区团体组织的演示、会议和小型课程(其合作已得到保障并获得合作信函)；以及一个社区咨询委员会，就如何使用和理解信息以及社区希望回答哪些不同或其他问题向方案提供反馈。科学项目的“内在逻辑”经常导致与社会关切不符的方向。但这种逻辑很少会如此令人信服，以至于只有一个方向是可能的。因此，有机会听到社区担心的事情，对新的研究方向或重点具有重要的潜在影响。与该计划工作有关的教育材料将分发给适当的社区团体和卫生保健专业人员。核心计划的主要部分将是针对来自服务不足社区的高中生和社区大学生的实习计划，以促进对与环境健康科学相关的职业的兴趣。

The Out reach Core serves as the communication channel between the BU SBRP and the community. Seven organizations plus the EPA Region I Superfund Community Involvement Program have agreed to participate in its operation. The Core is designed to facilitate the movement of information in both directions, with BU SBRP investigators participating in presentations, meetings and mini-courses organized by participating community groups (whose cooperation is already secured and letters of collaboration obtained); and a Community Advisory Committee providing feedback to the Program on how the information is being used and understood, and what kinds of different or additional questions the community would like answered. The "internal logic" of a scientific project frequently leads in directions that do not match community concerns. But that logic is rarely so compelling that only one direction is possible. The opportunity to hear about what worries communities is thus an important potential influence on new research directions or emphases. Educational materials related to the program's work will be distributed to appropriate community groups and health care professionals. A major portion of the Core will be an internship program aimed at high school and community college students from under-served communities to promote interest in careers related to environmental health sciences.
