Abstract
The University of Louisville’s Superfund Research Center (ULSRC) engages in transdisciplinary scholarship focused on volatile organic compounds and their impacts on human health. Transdisciplinary scholarship creates new knowledge and solutions to problems through collaborative research that includes academic researchers across disciplines, community members and relevant stakeholders. This type of research practice is necessary to solve many environmental health problems. This article highlights the ULSRC Community Engagement Core’s (CEC) efforts to build multi-directional lines of communication and collaboration between ULSRC investigators and community members that are required to support transdisciplinary research. Still early in our efforts, we share elements of ULSRC CEC’s vision, our preliminary observations and achievements, and our future trajectory.
