Philadelphia Regional Center for Children's Environmental Health

费城儿童环境区域中心发展核心的使命 健康（PRCCEH）是培养职业发展，为下一代提供职业培训， 儿童环境健康科学家（CEH），使他们能够成为独立的生产科学家 在CEH进行创新研究。丽贝卡·西蒙斯博士将担任主任，陈爱民博士将担任主任。 做副主任我们还将确定和鼓励早期研究者（ESI）以及研究者 其研究可以扩展到CEH领域。特别强调的是发展技能 翻译CEH的研究成果所必需的。妇女和代表性不足的少数民族将强烈 鼓励参与。DC的另一个主要功能是将所有机构的ESIs聚集在一起 在PRCCEH提供协调的儿童环境健康科学家支持方案。这 使命是通过以下方式完成的：a）维护所有从事环境卫生研究的环境服务机构的数据库 （B）成立一个指导委员会，为环境服务机构制定正式的职业发展计划;（c） 确定可以申请试点项目资金的候选人，以及校外资金;（d）确定和 支持在CEH中代表性不足的少数民族ESIs。这些目标将通过以下具体措施实现： 目标：目标1。维护所有在CEH进行研究的早期研究者的数据库;目标2。建立 PRCCEH儿童环境健康科学家早期调查员支持计划。 我们的儿童环境健康科学家支持计划的目标是提供一个变革性的 经验，使我们的ESI将配备成功的工具，作为下一代的CEH科学家。 这将通过PRCCEH指导计划，PRCCEH年度导师务虚会，赠款 提案审查计划，CEH研讨会，招聘和支持CEH代表性不足的少数民族， 继续教育计划和PRCCEH专业技能培训;目标3。儿童教育能力建设 通过催化剂试点计划进行环境健康科学研究;目标4。增强翻译 通过与监管机构、立法者和社区的指导性接触，提高环境服务机构的知识和能力 与他们的研究相关的组织。将鼓励教育服务机构参与翻译能力建设 社区儿童环境健康项目ESIs将有翻译经验， 监管、立法和社区参与。ESI将现场或虚拟参与，了解 该组织的工作，并确定机会，以翻译他们的CEH工作。目标5。建立 社区合作伙伴参与式支持计划。我们将建立一个以社区为基础的指导计划， 将建设社区伙伴参与的能力。这些目标包括增强社区能力， 社区成员和科学家之间的共同学习，为社区组织工作提供信息， 从研究到政策行动。

The mission of the Development Core (DC) of the Philadelphia Regional Center for Children's Environmental Health (PRCCEH) is to cultivate the career development and provide career training for the next generation of scientists in children's environmental health (CEH) so that they can become independent productive scientists conducting innovative research in CEH. Dr. Rebecca Simmons will be the Director and Dr. Aimin Chen will be the Co-Director. We will also identify and encourage early-stage investigators (ESIs) as well as investigators whose research could be expanded into CEH areas. Special emphasis is placed on developing the skills necessary for translating research findings in CEH. Women and underrepresented minorities will be strongly encouraged to participate. Another major function of the DC is to bring together ESIs from all of the institutions in the PRCCEH to provide a coordinated Children's Environmental Health Scientist Support Program. This mission is accomplished by: a) maintaining a data-base of all ESIs conducting research in environmental health science; (b) forming a mentoring committee and developing a formalized career development plan for ESIs; (c) identifying candidates that can apply for Pilot Project funding, as well as extramural funding; (d) identifying and supporting under-represented minority ESIs in CEH. These goals will be accomplished by the following specific aims: Aim 1. Maintain a data-base of all Early-Stage Investigators conducting research in CEH; Aim 2. Establish the Children's Environmental Health Scientist Support Program for Early-Stage Investigators in the PRCCEH. The goal of our Children's Environmental Health Scientist Support Program is to provide a transformative experience so that our ESIs will be equipped with the tools for success as the next generation of CEH scientists. This will be achieved through a PRCCEH mentoring program, PRCCEH Annual Mentorship Retreat, a Grant Proposal Review Program, CEH workshops, recruitment and support of CEH under-represented minorities, continuing education programs, and PRCCEH professional skill training; Aim 3. Build capacity in children's environmental health sciences research through the Catalyst Pilot Program; Aim 4. Enhance translational knowledge and capacity of ESI through mentored engagement with regulators, legislators and community organizations relevant to their research. ESIs will be encouraged to engage in a translational capacity building program called Community Children's Environmental Health. ESIs will have a translational experience in regulatory, legislative and community engagement. ESI's will engage either on-site or virtually, learning about the organization's work and identifying opportunities to translate their CEH work. Aim 5. Establish the Community-partner participatory support program. We will establish a community-based mentoring program that will build capacity in community-partner participation. The goals include enhanced community empowerment, co-learning between community members and scientists, informing community organizing efforts, and linking research to policy action.
