PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Emory University in partnership with the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), a historically Black University, propose to establish a Southeastern Environmental Exposures and Disparities (SEED) mentored career development scholars program, in response to the Pediatric and Reproductive Environmental Health Scholars program (PREHS) (K12), RFA-ES-20-007. The overarching goal is to recruit junior clinical faculty scholars and mentor them in environmental health research in collaboration with communities experiencing environmental injustices in the Southeastern United States (US). In partnership with the Region 4 Southeast Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (PEHSU), scholars will collaborate with community stakeholders who care passionately about reducing children’s environmental health inequities. The objectives of the PREHS-SEED program are to: 1) develop a research training program that produces leaders in pediatric and reproductive environmental health disparities research; 2) enhance existing infrastructure for individualized didactic training in research methodology as they relate to pediatric and reproductive environmental health; 3) identify and recruit a diverse cohort of promising scholars dedicated to careers in pediatric and reproductive environmental health research from Emory and MSM; and 4) expand existing multidisciplinary career development programs with mentorship from accomplished environmental health scientists. The Deep South bears the shame of some of the poorest health outcomes in US, such as high infant and maternal mortality rates among African Americans. Low-income communities of color face environmental health threats from extreme heat and climate-related weather events and dangerous air pollution conditions. Inequities are compounded by a legacy of unjust and systemically racist policies. Thus, priority will be given to scholars who focus on three areas of research: 1) documenting the burden of environmental health disparities, particularly among Black, Latinx, and immigrant/refugee women and children; 2) engaging in community-based research with local organizations; and 3) addressing adaptive solutions to climate change. The K12 program will begin in January 2022, providing 1-2 years of release time (75% effort), research funding support, and mentored career development for 6-9 scholars over 5 years. The program leverages programs at Emory, including the T32 program in Environmental Health Sciences and Toxicology at the Rollins School of Public Health; the Georgia Clinical & Translational Science Alliance KL2 program at partner institutions (including Emory and MSM); and the Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health program. The PREHS-SEED program will support scholars to advance the breadth and depth of their research skills with training in clinical studies, team science, community engagement and novel methodologies (e.g., exposure assessment, toxicology, metabolomics, mapping, informatics) relevant to environmental health. The intended scholar outcomes are to advance scholars to the next phase of their academic careers by addressing environmental health disparities in the Southeastern US.

项目总结/摘要 埃默里大学与历史上的黑人大学莫尔豪斯医学院（MSM）合作， 建议建立一个东南部环境暴露和差异（种子）辅导的职业生涯 发展学者计划，以回应儿科和生殖环境健康学者 程序（PREHS）（K12），RFA-ES-20-007。总体目标是招募初级临床教师学者， 指导他们与经历环境问题的社区合作进行环境卫生研究 美国东南部的不公正现象（US）。与东南部第四区儿科合作 环境健康专业单位（PEHSU），学者将与社区利益相关者谁关心合作 热衷于减少儿童环境健康的不平等。PREHS-SEED的目标 计划是：1）制定一项研究培训计划，培养儿科和生殖领域的领导者 环境健康差异研究; 2）加强现有的基础设施，以进行个性化的教学培训 在研究方法方面，因为它们与儿科和生殖环境卫生有关; 3）确定和招募 一群致力于儿科和生殖环境健康事业的有前途的学者 埃默里大学和男男性接触者的研究;以及4）扩大现有的多学科职业发展计划， 环境健康科学家的指导。南方腹地背负着一些 美国最差的健康结果，如非洲裔美国人的高婴儿和孕产妇死亡率。 有色人种的低收入社区面临着极端高温和气候相关的环境健康威胁 天气事件和危险的空气污染状况。不公正和不公平的遗产加剧了不公正， 系统性的种族主义政策。因此，将优先考虑那些专注于以下三个研究领域的学者： 记录环境健康差异的负担，特别是在黑人，拉丁美洲人， 移民/难民妇女和儿童; 2）与当地组织一起参与社区研究; 3)应对气候变化的适应性解决方案。K12计划将于2022年1月开始，提供1-2个 年的释放时间（75%的努力），研究资金支持，并指导6-9名学者的职业发展 超过5年。该计划利用埃默里大学的计划，包括环境健康的T32计划 罗林斯公共卫生学院科学与毒理学;格鲁吉亚临床与转化科学 在合作机构（包括埃默里和MSM）的联盟KL 2计划;和建设跨学科 妇女健康计划研究职业。PREHS-SEED计划将支持学者推进 通过临床研究、团队科学、社区培训，提高他们研究技能的广度和深度 参与和新颖的方法（例如，暴露评估，毒理学，代谢组学，绘图， 信息学）与环境健康有关。预期的学者成果是推动学者到 通过解决美国东南部的环境健康差异，他们的学术生涯的下一阶段。
