As a group of investigator representing such diverse disciplines as biochemistry, geology, epidemiology, and ecology, we share a common goal to understand, assess and attenuate the adverse effects on human health resulting from environmental exposure to toxic metals. We are intrigued and excited by the challenge of the enormously complex multiple facets to the problem and are committed to nurturing a truly synergistic research environment. As subscribers to the notion that the greatest discoveries in biomedical and basic science research are often catalyzed by the collision between two or more disparate perspectives, we celebrate the distinctive languages, techniques, and models of thought that each individual rings to the table, and we anticipate that our studies will lead to major insights and advances in understanding and mitigating the impact of toxic metals on human health. Clearly, the intellectual ferment generated by our multi- disciplinary research thrust can potentially provide a rare opportunity for pre-doctoral students in the program to acquire a remarkable breadth of understanding of a major contemporary problem that has ramifications well into the next century. In order to cultivate this unique opportunity we propose a Training Program, which will support graduate training in the form of stipends and provide a structured setting for students to gain exposure to the terminology, methodologies, and models unique to each discipline. Further, the Training program will enable students to enroll in a core course co-taught by project faculty, participate in a topical seminar series given by distinguished guest lecturers, present their research results at an annual retreat, and travel to scientific meetings relevant to their research pursuits.

作为代表不同学科的一组研究人员， 生物化学、地质学、流行病学和生态学，我们有一个共同的目标 了解、评估和减轻对人类健康的不利影响 由于环境暴露于有毒金属而导致。我们很感兴趣并且 对极其复杂的多个方面的挑战感到兴奋 问题并致力于培育真正的协同研究 环境。作为这一观念的订阅者，最伟大的发现 生物医学和基础科学研究往往是由碰撞催化的 在两个或多个不同的观点之间，我们庆祝独特的观点 每个人的语言、技术和思维模式 表格，我们预计我们的研究将带来重大见解 以及在理解和减轻有毒金属对环境的影响方面取得的进展 人类健康。显然，我们的多元文化所产生的智力发酵 学科研究主旨可能会提供难得的机会 该计划的博士前学生将获得广泛的知识 对具有良好影响的当代重大问题的理解 进入下一个世纪。为了抓住这个独特的机会，我们 提出一项培训计划，该计划将支持研究生培训 形式的津贴，并为学生提供结构化的环境 接触各自独特的术语、方法和模型 纪律。此外，培训计划将使学生能够注册 在由项目教师共同教授的核心课程中，参加专题 由杰出客座讲师举办的研讨会系列，展示他们的 年度静修会的研究成果以及参加科学会议的旅行 与他们的研究追求相关。
