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.

年本科生研究型教育计划(加强潜力计划：UP计划) 环境健康科学(EHS)是密歇根大学(密歇根)、 汉普顿大学(Hampton)和菲斯克大学(Fisk)，目标是增加EHS的多样性 研究劳动力和加快改善环境质量和公共健康。教职员工来自 密歇根州EHS部门(公共卫生学院)在NIEHS优先领域有强有力的研究计划 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 学院和大学(HBCU)，在教职员工和学生中培养对EHS的研究兴趣。 学生将由菲斯克、汉普顿和密歇根UP计划负责人(DRS O‘Neill，Charles， 海利格和马丁)，并与教职员工导师相匹配。这些教职员工还将探索未来的研究和 各机构在EHS方面的培训协作。被选中的学生必须完成两年的 EHS相关学士学位课程，生物、化学、环境科学、物理、 工程学或数学。受训人员将在密歇根大学进行暑期研究 一年中的通讯。研究项目的主题包括表观遗传学和基因组学影响 暴露和环境暴露对人类健康的影响(包括癌症和其他后果 与农药、重金属、塑料成分、空气污染物和与气候有关的 曝光)。密歇根州和HBCU之间的合作将增加HBCU学生对 将EHS作为一种职业，并通过提供“早期渠道”实现EHS劳动力多样化的长期目标 为EHS中代表性不足的学生提供机会。学生将获得两种实践的研究体验， 教育，以及在EHS攻读研究生和从事职业所需的技能。参赛者将获得最多两个 暑期培训和教育，包括在EHS的全日制暑期指导研究体验，网址为 密歇根州，在负责任的研究、教育活动、讲座和团队合作方面的培训。 他们将受益于与密歇根现有的几个本科生实习项目的协调，以及 EHS环境毒理学和流行病学项目(ETEP)T32培训补助金 博士生，现在是NIEHS支持的第33个年头。实习生将有机会接触研究生， 包括那些来自任职人数不足的背景、对这一进程和职业有第一手了解的人 选择。密歇根-汉普顿-菲斯克UP计划R25的结构专门满足以下目标：(1) 使EHS员工队伍多样化，(2)推进NIEHS使命，(3)丰富EHS学术和 在所有三所大学接受培训。
