Presentation: An Overview of the Core B [Engineering Component]
The overall goal is to translate research findings and scientific knowledge for government agencies, relevant business interests, and general audiences involved in the remediation of Superfund sites and efforts to protect public health. We plan to use traditional methods including research briefs that describe the context for the research, the questions investigated, the major findings, and the significance of findings from a practice perspective. We also plan to use novel methods including streamed video "short talks" by investigators presenting results in a conversational tone and pod casts.
For translation related to health sciences, we will plan and conduct workshops that examine critical issues in application of environmental health sciences research results in policy contexts, involving investigators in disciplines relevant to science and policy as well as government agencies working in areas such as risk assessment and benefits assessment, and stakeholders. Topics to be addressed include the use of biomonitoring data in environmental public health surveillance and policy, implications of research related to susceptibility to environmental exposures, and use of findings from use of "omics" methods in public policy.
For translation related to engineering, we will involve stakeholders and project investigators in the development of case studies to demonstrate how measurements from the lab on remediation technologies are scaled to larger, more complex conditions encountered at Superfund sites and how field results can be applied (scaled) to other sites.
