Newsletter Showcases Superfund Research Program Accomplishments
The ask: Staff at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Superfund Research Program wanted to broadcast how funded researchers are tackling complex and emerging issues related to hazardous substances.
The solution: MDB proposed, designed, and implemented the quarterly Superfund Research Program Science Digest, which showcases how researchers from a variety of disciplines are tackling scientific challenges such as climate change, risk communication, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
MDB collaborates closely with Superfund Research Program staff to create the digest, recommending themes for each issue, researching and writing content, and distributing and posting the newsletters to the program’s website. Each issue includes information on funded research, leadership activities, and technological innovations, with ample links throughout.
Notable outcomes: MDB has provided communications and technical support for the Superfund Research Program since 2002. Over 11,000 subscribers receive the quarterly Science Digest. In addition to the digest, we produce and distribute a monthly e-newsletter and monthly Research Briefs for the program.
