Core B: Research Translation Core

项目总结 波多黎各用于探索污染威胁中心(PROTECT)的测试站点使用集成的、交叉的 研究污染物的去向、运输、暴露、对健康的影响和补救的学科方法 通常在超级基金网站上找到，特别注意邻苯二甲酸酯和氯化溶剂，因为这两者都是 波多黎各高早产率的嫌疑犯和模范代理人。研究翻译核心(RTC) 通过翻译和传播保护研究，服务于保护和NIEHS的整体利益 结果将提供给各种各样的政府机构、科学界、行业和其他利益攸关方。 RTC通过五个目标做到这一点： �目标1：向环境保护局、美国可持续发展权和其他利益攸关方宣传和强调 项目结果与公共政策、公共卫生和预防的相关性 �目标2：与利益相关者建立伙伴关系以响应请求、发展能力和改进 对中心调查结果的理解 �目标3：充当调查人员、合作伙伴和利益相关者之间的桥梁，促进商业 开发、利用SRP计划获得的知识并将其转化为工具， 战略或技术，以高效和及时的方式 �目标4：与其他保护核心协作，加强信息、材料和最佳信息的共享 保护范围以外的做法 �目标5：向SRP总部和全国SRP社区传达保护工作 这些目标是通过巩固保护内部通信的活动实现的， 与其他SRP和国家办公室的沟通，以及与广泛的专业人士、 政府、公共卫生和社区组织。RTC与每个项目负责人合作开发 翻译活动，并为教师、博士后和学生提供培训课程，以促进研究 翻译。RTC开发技术转让机制，如专利、商业化和 知识产权。它促进了专业知识的咨询和新的合作，特别是在 SRP社区。RTC帮助调查人员增加NIEHS和其他拨款申请，从而扩大 各组成校园的环境卫生能力。它提供网络研讨会和会议以供分享 并让社区与大学研究人员分享经验/需求，特别是通过 与培训核心和社区参与核心合作。RTC有一个强大的网站 它是整理和传播保护成果和材料的中央信息中心。这个 RTC还开发出版物，突出介绍Protect的研究翻译成果的总体总和。

PROJECT SUMMARY The Puerto Rico Testsite for Exploring Contamination Threats Center (PROTECT) uses an integrated, cross- disciplinary approach to study the fate, transport, exposure, health impact and remediation of contaminants commonly found at Superfund sites, with particular attention to phthalates and chlorinated solvents as both are suspect and model agents in the high preterm birth rates in Puerto Rico. The Research Translation Core (RTC) serves the overall interests of PROTECT and NIEHS by translating and disseminating PROTECT research results to a wide variety of governmental agencies, scientific communities, industry, and other stakeholders. The RTC does this through five aims: � Aim 1: Publicize and emphasize to EPA, ATSDR, and other stakeholders the significance and/or relevance of program findings for public policy, public health, and prevention � Aim 2: Build partnerships with stakeholders to respond to requests, develop capacity, and improve understanding of Center findings � Aim 3: Serve as the bridge between investigators, partners and stakeholders to foster commercial development, utilization and translation of the knowledge gained by the SRP program into tools, strategies or technologies, in an efficient and timely manner � Aim 4: Collaborate with other PROTECT cores for enhanced sharing of information, materials and best practices outside of PROTECT � Aim 5: Communicate PROTECT work to SRP Headquarters and to the national SRP community These aims are realized through activities that solidify internal communications within PROTECT, communications with other SRPs and the national office, and communication with a wide range of professional, governmental, public health, and community organizations. The RTC works with each project leader to develop translational activities, and it offers training sessions for faculty, postdocs, and students to facilitate research translation. The RTC develops mechanisms for technology transfer, such as patents, commercialization, and intellectual property. It facilitates consultations of expertise and new collaborations, particularly outside the SRP community. The RTC helps investigators to increase NIEHS and other grant submissions, thus expanding the environmental health capacity of the constituent campuses. It offers webinars and conferences to share findings and for communities to share experiences/needs with the university researchers, especially by collaborating with the Training Core and Community Engagement Core. The RTC has a strong website presence and is the central clearinghouse for collating and disseminating PROTECT results and materials. The RTC also develops publications that highlight the overall sum of PROTECT's research translation outcomes.
