The multi-disciplinary program describes in this application produces scientists having a base knowledge in environmental toxicology coupled with research expertise gained in a departmentally-based graduated program. Predoctoral trainees must meet the full Ph.D. requirements of their "home" department and complete the coursework, research and interactive aspects of the Multi-disciplinary Ph.D. Program in Environmental Toxicology administered by the Institute for Environmental Toxicology (IET). The degree awarded recognizes the dual nature of the training by listing the department-environmental toxicology (e.g., Ph.D. in Biochemistry-Environmental Toxicology), Graduates of the program are well-equipped to conduct research and interact with other scientists in the course of solving complex environmental problems that require collaborative, multi-disciplinary approaches. Fifteen training faculty conduct predoctoral training in four departmental Ph.D. programs (Pharmacology and Toxicology, Biochemistry, Food Science and Human Nutrition, Zoology). Added to the department- based education and environmental toxicology research training in departments as didactic, toxicology-oriented courses required by the Multi-disciplinary Ph.D. Program in Environmental Toxicology. This coursework and less formal multi-disciplinary interactions and activities provided by the IET imparts a wider scope of knowledge than is available within individual departmental programs. Research topics for trainees are available in mechanisms-related toxicology encompassing: organ systems (e.g., hepatic, immune, endocrine, neuronal, respiratory), carcinogenesis, reproduction and food safety. In addition, research training is available on modern analytical techniques used to identify and quantitate toxic responses. Postdoctoral trainees conduct research in the laboratory of one (or more) of the training faculty and gain additional environment toxicology experience through participation in IET activities and courses. This application is for support of six predoctoral and three postdoctoral trainees, thereby continuing a highly effective multi- disciplinary training program which mixes traditional and non- traditional approaches to prepare graduates to make significant contributions to the field of environmental toxicology.

在本申请中描述的多学科计划产生了具有环境毒理学基础知识的科学家，再加上在基于部门的毕业计划中获得的研究专业知识。博士预科生必须符合完整的博士学位。他们的“家”部门的要求，并完成课程，研究和多学科博士的互动方面。由环境毒理学研究所（IET）管理的环境毒理学计划。授予的学位通过列出环境毒理学系（例如，博士在生物化学环境毒理学），该计划的毕业生都装备精良，进行研究，并在解决复杂的环境问题，需要协作，多学科的方法过程中与其他科学家互动。15名培训教师在四个部门博士进行博士前培训。课程（药理学和毒理学，生物化学，食品科学和人类营养，动物学）。增加了部门为基础的教育和环境毒理学研究培训部门作为教学，毒理学为导向的课程所要求的多学科博士学位。环境毒理学专业。这门课程和IET提供的不太正式的多学科互动和活动传授了比单个部门计划更广泛的知识。学员的研究课题可在机制相关的毒理学包括：器官系统（例如，肝脏、免疫、内分泌、神经、呼吸系统）、致癌、生殖和食品安全。此外，还提供了关于用于确定和量化毒性反应的现代分析技术的研究培训。博士后学员在一个（或多个）培训学院的实验室进行研究，并通过参加IET活动和课程获得额外的环境毒理学经验。本申请旨在支持六名博士前和三名博士后学员，从而继续实施一项高效的多学科培训计划，该计划将传统和非传统方法相结合，以培养毕业生为环境毒理学领域做出重大贡献。
