Final Progress Reports
The major accomplishments of the University of Arizona Superfund Research Program (UA SRP) Outreach Core to Underrepresented Groups in the US-Mexico Border Region over the last funding cycle revolved around the creation of tribal community college mining educational modules, attendance of relevant national and international professional conferences, development of new collaborative grant proposal submissions, establishment of community-requested outreach activities (e.g., via informational materials or technical support), coordination of international compatible mining-focused conference, and development of manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed journals. Implementation of these activities was done via long-standing networks of community partners as well as government agency stakeholders working in community involvement. Products and outcomes from the community-engaged research have been posted on the National Institute Reporting Tool, Partnership for Environmental Public Health (PEPH) Resource Center, UA SRP website, Environmental Factor, or provided directly to community collaborators.
