Superfund Research Program Research Translation and Outreach Meeting

Annual Meeting of the Superfund Research Program
November 10-12, 2010
Portland, Oregon

Meeting Summary

On November 10, 2010, 65 Superfund Research Program grantees, partners, and community members from across the country gathered to showcase the latest community engagement work being done within the Program, and strategize new ways to collaborate with one another.

The morning session showed important work being done at Oregon State University, where grantees are engaging with members of the Swinomish Tribal nation to measure exposures to environmental contaminants that may result from cultural practices such as subsistence fishing. The afternoon session examined ways SRP researchers can collaborate with partner agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), as well as with health authorities and other local officials. After that, the meeting attendees were invited to participate in a series of breakout sessions to discuss these topics and others of interest.
