Research Translation Core B

UW超级基金基础研究计划的研究翻译核心（RTC）能够帮助SBRP调查人员向广泛的利益相关者传播重要的研究成果和新技术。核心的具体目标涉及SBRP申请中所述的必要组成部分：政府机构伙伴关系，技术转让和与广泛受众沟通。该核心将继续：1）制定沟通战略，以交流有关政府机构优先事项和新出现的SBRP研究结果的信息。一个机构研讨会系列已经成立，以支持专家谁可以帮助机构工作人员解决当地的危险废物和污染问题，2）协助调查人员在移动UW SBRP的研究成果，通过与UW技术转让办公室的伙伴关系应用。核心联合主任和工作人员定期与SBRP调查人员会面，以确定潜在的专利，并利用开源方法来推进研究成果，3）通过确定与政府机构和社区团体的关键沟通场所和材料，为各个利益相关者提供关键信息。将为关注环境污染物影响的社区、关注其社区外展的地方和州机构以及对环境健康教育感兴趣的疾病宣传团体和卫生专业人员制定程序和材料。年度研讨会和印刷/网络材料将用于增加SBRP调查人员，机构工作人员和社区成员之间的最新研究结果的传播，4）与社区团体合作。UW SBRP与部落民族，社区团体，卫生专业人员和个人利益相关者合作解决环境健康问题的历史悠久。活动范围将扩大到包括新的合作，以及5）与行政核心合作，完善研究翻译和外联跟踪系统，以持续提供核心活动的文件和报告。华盛顿大学SBRP最集中的重点是开发神经毒性化学品对人类健康和环境不利影响的早期生物标志物。制定暴露于神经毒性化合物对健康影响的早期指标是一个引起科学界、涉及危险废物场地的政府机构和整个公众共鸣的主题。

The Research Translation Core (RTC) of the UW Superfund Basic Research Program is well positioned to assist SBRP investigators in disseminating important research findings and new technology to a wide spectrum of stakeholders. The Specific Aims of the Core address the required components described in the SBRP request for applications: Government Agency Partnerships, Technology Transfer, and Communicating to Broad Audiences. The core will continue to: 1) develop communication strategies to exchange information regarding government agency priorities and emerging SBRP research findings. An Agency Seminar Series has been set-up to support experts who can help agency staff address local hazardous waste and contamination issues, 2) assist investigators in moving UW SBRP research findings into application through partnerships with the UW Tech Transfer office. The Core co-director and staff meet with SBRP investigators regularly to identify potential patents and leverage open-source approaches to advance research findings, 3) provide critical information to individual stakeholders by identifying key communication venues and materials with government agencies and community groups. Procedures and materials will be developed for communities concerned about impacts from environmental contaminants, local and state agencies concerned about their community outreach, and for disease advocacy groups and health professionals interested in environmental health education. Annual workshops and print/web materials will used to increase dissemination of current research findings between SBRP investigators, agency staff and community members, 4) partner with Community Groups. The UW SBRP has a long history of working with Tribal Nations, community groups, health professionals, and individual stakeholders to address environmental health concerns. The scope of activities will broaden to include new collaborations, and 5) work with the Administrative Core to refine a Research Translation and Outreach Tracking System to provide documentation and reporting of Core activities on an ongoing basis. The UW SBRP focuses most intensively on developing early biomarkers of adverse effects to human health and the environment from neurotoxic chemicals. Developing early indicators of health effects from exposures to neurotoxic compounds is a theme that resonates with the scientific community, governmental agencies who are involved with hazardous waste sites and the public as a whole.
