Community Engagement Core

社区参与核心 摘要 社区参与核心将采用一种新的参与方法，以响应 哈佛大学陈氏学派的新主题-NIEHS中心，重新展望环境健康：整合 人物和地点的环境暴露。我们的主要目标利益相关者仍然是 多切斯特和卫生/公共卫生专业人士。CEC的目标是1)开发一种长期模式 社区参与的重点是对话、共同愿景和对社区驱动的变革的承诺； 2)促进解决社区表达的环境健康问题的倡议和合作 合作伙伴和其他利益相关者；以及3)评估我们与社区接触的有效性。 新的参与方式包括在社区举办一年一度的参与变革研讨会 有社区领袖、利益相关者和中心成员在场。这些工作坊的目标是 强调当前与减少环境暴露有关的示范做法，并为 通过促成的讨论，为下一年的工作创造条件。支持社区的新三级资助机制 各组织将在三个不同级别为社区项目提供资金：社区行动赠款 (1000-3000美元)、设施准入基金(至多7500美元)和试点项目(至多25000美元)。 社区和中心之间的多方向交流将通过以下方式促进 变革研讨会、利益相关者咨询委员会、与研究核心教职员工+的互动 社区参与孵化器会议，并利用设施核心进行统计分析， 支持CEC的样本分析、新数据汇总、数据可视化和地理信息系统数据映射选项 目标。与NIEHS和灾难恢复研究(DR2)计划的合作将继续下去 通过剑桥大学与麻省理工学院和北卡罗来纳大学等NIEHS中心合作 分别是科学节和波士顿地区健康教育计划。第1区儿科 环境健康专科单位(PEHSU)和波士顿公共卫生委员会将继续 合伙人。与哈佛法学院的一项新合作将支持更综合的曝光方法 即培养一种“超越科学”的方法来解决污染问题，并加强 环境暴露缓解和当地法律法规。 利益攸关方咨询委员会(SAB)成员的扩大将增加社区的代表性 并扩大该中心可用的社区专业知识范围。同样，对SAB的期望 扩大了参与范围，包括参加年度讲习班和项目会议。

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CORE ABSTRACT The Community Engagement Core will adopt a new approach to engagement in order to be responsive to the new theme of the Harvard Chan School-NIEHS Center, Re-Envisioning Environmental Health: Integrating Environmental Exposures of People and Place. Our main target stakeholders remain the community of Dorchester and health/public health professionals. The aims for the CEC are to 1) develop a long-term model of community engagement focused on dialogue, shared vision, and commitment to community-driven change; 2) foster initiatives and collaborations that address environmental health concerns expressed by community partners and other stakeholders; and 3) to assess the effectiveness of our engagement with the community. The new approach to engagement includes holding annual Engaging for Change workshops in the community with community leaders, stakeholders and Center members present. The objectives of these workshops are to highlight current exemplary practices related to mitigating environmental exposures and to define projects for the coming year through facilitated discussions. A new 3-tiered funding mechanism to support community organizations will provide funds for community projects at three different levels: Community Action Grants ($1K-3K), Facility Access Funds (up to $7,500) and pilot projects (up to $25K). Multi-directional exchange between the community and the Center will be fostered through the Engaging for Change workshops, the Stakeholder Advisory Board, interaction with the Research Core faculty plus community participation in the incubator sessions, and utilization of the Facilities Cores for statistical analysis, sample analysis, new data summaries, data visualization and GIS data mapping options in support of CEC aims. Collaboration with NIEHS and the Disaster Recovery Research (DR2) Program will continue as will collaboration with NIEHS Centers such as MIT and the University of North Carolina through the Cambridge Science Festival and the Boston Area Health Education program, respectively. The Region 1 Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (PEHSU) and the Boston Public Health Commission will continue as partners. A new collaboration with Harvard Law School will support the more integrated approach to exposures i.e., to foster a “beyond science” approach to pollution problems and to increase the synergy between environmental exposure mitigation and local laws and regulations. The expanded membership of the Stakeholder Advisory Board (SAB) will increase community representation and expand the scope of community expertise available to the Center. Similarly the expectation for SAB participation has been augmented to include participation in annual workshops and project meetings.
