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（潜在的潜在计划：UP计划） 环境健康科学（EHS）是密歇根大学（密歇根大学）的合作 汉普顿大学（汉普顿）和菲斯克大学（Fisk）的目标是增加EHS的多样性 研究工作人员并加速了环境质量和公共卫生的改善。来自 密歇根州EHS部（公共卫生学院）通过NIEHS优先领域的强大研究计划 每年夏天都会指导四名本科生。汉普顿和菲斯克大学历史上是黑色的 学院和大学（HBCUS）在教师和学生中都具有EHS的研究兴趣。 学生将由Fisk，Hampton和Michigan UP计划负责人共同挑选（Charles博士，Charles， Heyliger和Martin）与教师导师相匹配。这些教师还将探索未来的研究和 跨机构EHS的培训合作。选定的学生必须在 EHS相关的学士学位课程，生物学，化学，环境科学，物理学， 工程或数学。学员将在密歇根州有夏季研究经验 全年的通讯。研究项目的主题包括表观遗传和基因组影响 环境暴露的暴露和人类健康方面（包括癌症和其他结果 与农药，重金属，塑料的组成部分，空气污染物和气候有关 暴露）。密歇根州与HBCU之间的伙伴关系将增加HBCU学生对 EHS是职业生涯，并实现了通过提供“早期管道”来使EHS劳动力多样化的长期目标 EHS中代表性不足的学生的机会。学生将获得两种动手研究经验， 在EHS攻读研究生院和职业所需的教育和技能。参与者最多将获得两个 培训和教育的夏天，包括在EHS中的全职夏季指导的研究经验 密歇根州，负责任的研究，教育活动，讲座和小组合作的培训。 他们将从密歇根州的几个现有本科实习计划的协调中受益， EHS环境毒理学和流行病学计划（ETEP）T32前后 博士生，现在是NIEHS支持的第33年。学员将可以与研究生接触 包括来自代表性不足的背景的人，以及对过程和职业的第一手知识 选项。密歇根州 - 汉普顿（Michigan-Hampton-Fisk UP）计划R25的结构符合以下目标：（1） 多元化EHS劳动力和（2）推进NIEHS任务，以及（3）丰富EHS奖学金和 在所有三所大学进行培训。
