Dillard University's Targeted Infusion Project entitled - An Interdisciplinary Urban Environmental Studies Initiative (TIP-IUES)- seeks to develop undergraduate students who are well-trained in the use of multiple frames of reference to explore linkages between natural and built ecosystems and the human behaviors that drive environmental and natural resource changes. This initiative will design and implement an interdisciplinary urban environmental studies concentration which will span four disciplines: biology/biochemistry, computer science, urban studies/policies, and applied mathematics. The project will support the creation of two courses (an introductory urban environmental studies course and an applied environmental microbiology course), student-driven research projects, and an open-source platform (EnviroThursday) for exchange between the Dillard community, city officials and city planners, and the public. The objectives of the project are: to develop two courses which will orient students to current trends in urban ecosystems and prepare them for graduate study in the field of environmental studies; to modify URB335 Geographic Information Systems to better equip students with the skill sets to conduct research in the field of environmental science; to design an Interdisciplinary Urban Environmental Studies concentration that will lead to interdisciplinary certification in conjunction with Dillard's Deep South Center for Environmental Justice; and to engage undergraduates in environmental research.

迪拉德大学的有针对性的注入项目，名为-跨学科城市环境研究倡议（TIP-IUES）-旨在培养在使用多种参考框架方面接受过良好培训的本科生，以探索自然和人造生态系统与人类之间的联系。驱动环境和自然资源变化的行为。该倡议将设计和实施跨学科的城市环境研究集中，将跨越四个学科：生物学/生物化学，计算机科学，城市研究/政策和应用数学。该项目将支持创建两门课程（介绍性城市环境研究课程和应用环境微生物学课程），学生驱动的研究项目，以及一个开源平台（EnviroThursday），用于迪拉德社区，城市官员和城市规划者以及公众之间的交流。该项目的目标是：编制两门课程，使学生了解城市生态系统的当前趋势，并为他们在环境研究领域的研究生学习做好准备;修改URB 335地理信息系统，使学生更好地掌握在环境科学领域进行研究的技能;设计一个跨学科的城市环境研究集中，这将导致与迪拉德的深南中心环境正义的跨学科认证;并鼓励大学生参与环境研究。
