DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the applicants abstract): The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-School of Public Health (SPH), in collaboration with the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI), proposes to conduct EH-STEP, a three year Phase II Dissemination project. Approximately 2,000 educators and 40,000 students nationwide will improve their basic science and math skills while learning to reduce their exposure to potential pollutants which may then prevent environment-related illnesses and diseases. SPH/EOHSI will direct this project in partnership with seven Regional Education and Training Centers (RETC) comprising Community Outreach and Education Programs from National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences' (NIEHS) Centers of Excellence based at Oregon State University, University of Arizona, University of Southern California, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Vanderbilt University and Wayne State University. Partners also include scientists from these Centers and the Toxicology Education Foundation (TEF). These diverse partners will ensure that the project is translatable nationwide. A curriculum dissemination through professional development model will be utilized. The model comprises four main components, EHS curricula, train-the-trainer workshops, teacher training and scientist involvement, and will expand on two of EOHSI's successful nationwide professional development and curriculum dissemination programs: the ToxRAP TM (Toxicology, Risk Assessment and Pollution) Network, a joint program with the University of Arizona, supported by NIEHS, and the ToxRAP TM Education and Training Program supported by TEF. EH-STEP will use curricular materials for this initiative that focus on environmental health issues relevant to students' lives. ToxRAP TM, an award-winning EHS curriculum series developed by EOHSI with support from NIEHS, will serve as the initial curriculum for dissemination. A Curriculum Selection Board will identify additional materials/programs to be included. RETC-designated teams will attend train-the-trainer workshops on implementing the selected curricula, as well as designing and delivering effective teacher training programs. Each RETC will be responsible for developing and providing trainings and curricular materials to K-12 teachers in its region. A Scientist Involvement Advisory Board will help develop strategies for scientists to interact with teachers/students and to encourage students to pursue careers in biomedical and behavioral sciences research. Ongoing support will be provided through Internet-based technologies. Formative and summative measures will be used to analyze project effectiveness.

描述（改编自申请人摘要）： 新泽西州公共卫生学院医学和牙科（SPH）， 与环境和职业健康科学合作 研究所（EOHSI），建议进行EH-STEP，为期三年的第二阶段 传播项目。 约2,000名教育工作者和40,000名学生 全国范围内将提高他们的基本科学和数学技能，同时学习 减少他们接触潜在的污染物， 与环境有关的疾病。 SPH/EOHSI将指导此 与七个区域教育和培训中心合作的项目 （RETC）包括国家社区外展和教育方案 环境健康科学研究所（NIEHS）卓越中心 位于俄勒冈州州立大学、亚利桑那大学、大学 南加州，德克萨斯大学医学分支加尔维斯顿， 威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校、范德比尔特大学和韦恩州立大学 大学 合作伙伴还包括来自这些中心的科学家和 毒理学教育基金会。 这些不同的合作伙伴将确保 这个项目可以在全国范围内推广 课程传播 通过专业的发展模式将被利用。 述模型包括 四个主要组成部分，EHS课程，培训培训师研讨会，教师 培训和科学家的参与，并将扩大两个EOHSI的 在全国范围内成功开展专业发展和课程传播 ToxRAP TM（毒理学、风险评估和污染）网络， 与亚利桑那大学的联合计划，由NIEHS支持， 由TEF支持的ToxRAP TM教育和培训计划。 EH-STEP将使用 这一倡议的课程材料侧重于环境健康 与学生生活有关的问题。 ToxRAP TM，屡获殊荣的EHS 由EOHSI在NIEHS的支持下开发的课程系列将作为 最初的传播课程。 课程选择委员会将 确定要包括的其他材料/程序。 REC指定团队 将参加关于执行选定的 课程，以及设计和提供有效的教师培训 程序. 每个RETC将负责开发和提供 培训和教材，以K-12教师在其地区。 一 科学家参与咨询委员会将帮助制定战略， 科学家与教师/学生互动，并鼓励学生 从事生物医学和行为科学研究。 正在进行 将通过因特网技术提供支助。 形成性和 总结性措施将用于分析项目的有效性。
