The Undergraduate Research Education Program (Undergirding Potential Program: UP Program) in Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) is a collaboration among the University of Michigan (Michigan), Hampton University (Hampton), and Fisk University (Fisk) with the goal of increasing diversity in the EHS research workforce and accelerating improvements in environmental quality and public health. Faculty from Michigan's EHS Department (School of Public Health) with robust research programs on NIEHS priority areas will mentor four undergraduate students per summer. Hampton and Fisk Universities are historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) with developing research interests in EHS among both faculty and students. Students will be co-selected by Fisk, Hampton and Michigan UP Program leaders (Drs O'Neill, Charles, Heyliger and Martin) and matched with faculty mentors. These faculty will also explore future research and training collaborations in EHS across the institutions. Selected students must have completed two years in an EHS-relevant baccalaureate degree program, in biology, chemistry, environmental sciences, physics, engineering, or mathematics. Trainees will have summer research experiences at Michigan with continued communications throughout the year. Topics for research projects include epigenetic and genomic impacts of exposures, and human health aspects of environmental exposures (including cancer and other outcomes associated with pesticides, heavy metals, components of plastics, air pollutants, and climate-related exposures). The partnership between Michigan and the HBCUs will increase the HBCU student's interest in EHS as a career and achieve the long-term goal of diversifying the EHS workforce by providing `early pipeline' opportunities to underrepresented students in EHS. Students will receive both hands-on research experiences, education, and skills needed to pursue graduate school and careers in EHS. Participants will receive up to two summers of training and education, including a full-time summer mentored research experience in EHS at Michigan, training in responsible conduct of research, educational activities, lectures, and group collaboration. They will benefit from coordination with several existing undergraduate internship programs at Michigan, and the EHS Environmental Toxicology and Epidemiology Program (ETEP) T32 training grant for pre- and post- doctoral students, now in its 33rd year of NIEHS support. Trainees will have access to graduate students, including those from under-represented backgrounds, with first-hand knowledge of the process and career options. The Michigan-Hampton-Fisk UP Program R25 is structured to specifically meet the goals of: (1) diversifying the EHS workforce and (2) advancing the NIEHS mission, and (3) enriching EHS scholarship and training at all three universities.

本科生研究教育计划（Undergirding Potential Program：UP Program） 环境健康科学 (EHS) 是密歇根大学（密歇根州）、 汉普顿大学 (Hampton) 和菲斯克大学 (Fisk) 的目标是增加 EHS 的多样性 研究人员并加速改善环境质量和公共卫生。教师来自 密歇根州 EHS 部门（公共卫生学院）针对 NIEHS 优先领域开展了强有力的研究项目 每年夏天将指导四名本科生。汉普顿大学和菲斯克大学历史上都是黑人大学 培养教师和学生对 EHS 研究兴趣的学院和大学 (HBCU)。 学生将由菲斯克、汉普顿和密歇根 UP 项目负责人（奥尼尔博士、查尔斯博士、 Heyliger 和 Martin）并与教师导师进行匹配。这些教师还将探索未来的研究和 跨机构的 EHS 培训合作。选定的学生必须完成两年的学习 EHS 相关学士学位课程，包括生物学、化学、环境科学、物理学、 工程，或者数学。学员将在密歇根州获得暑期研究经验，并继续 全年通讯。研究项目的主题包括表观遗传学和基因组影响 暴露以及环境暴露的人类健康方面（包括癌症和其他结果） 与农药、重金属、塑料成分、空气污染物和气候相关 曝光）。密歇根州和 HBCU 之间的合作伙伴关系将增加 HBCU 学生的兴趣 将 EHS 作为一项职业，并通过提供“早期管道”实现 EHS 劳动力多元化的长期目标 为 EHS 领域代表性不足的学生提供机会。学生将获得实践研究经验， 攻读 EHS 研究生课程和职业所需的教育和技能。参与者将获得最多两个 暑期培训和教育，包括在 EHS 方面的全职暑期指导研究经验 密歇根州，负责任地进行研究、教育活动、讲座和小组合作的培训。 他们将受益于与密歇根州现有的几个本科实习项目的协调，并且 EHS 环境毒理学和流行病学计划 (ETEP) T32 培训前和培训补助金 博士生，现在已经是 NIEHS 支持的第 33 个年头了。学员将有机会接触研究生， 包括那些来自代表性不足的背景、对流程和职业有第一手了解的人 选项。密歇根-汉普顿-菲斯克 UP 计划 R25 的结构旨在专门满足以下目标：(1) 使 EHS 劳动力多元化，(2) 推进 NIEHS 使命，(3) 丰富 EHS 奖学金和 在所有三所大学进行培训。
