DESCRIPTION This is an application to establish an interdisciplinary reproductive, developmental, and endocrine toxicology training program for the education of 4 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral candidates in biochemical, cellular and neurobehavioral aspects of reproductive, developmental and endocrine toxicology at the University of Illinois. This program will provide comprehensive training in cellular and molecular toxicology and the broader areas of environmental sciences, including toxicological pathology, fate of xenobiotics in vivo, and risk assessment, and will enable trainees to establish successful careers at other universities, industries, and government research and regulatory activities. This new training program in reproductive, developmental, and endocrine toxicology is an extension of the existing curriculum offered by the Interdisciplinary Environmental Toxicology Program (IETP) established at the University of Illinois in the mid 1980s. Eight of the ten faculty members of the proposed program are members of the IETP. Graduate students will be enrolled in and obtain their degrees from any of the seven participating departments. Predoctoral trainees will spend their first two years completing course work, beginning research projects and preparing for qualifying and preliminary exams. To participate in this training program the students will be required to receive training in general toxicology, biochemistry, molecular biology, reproductive physiology, endocrinology and statistics. By the end of the second year, research will be conducted full time. Formal and informal seminars, a guest speaker program, scientific meeting presentations and preparation of a research grant proposal application will complete the training of the students. The large number of funded projects and the existing collaborations among the preceptors will further increase the research opportunities and interactions of the trainees.

描述 这是一份申请建立跨学科的生殖， 儿童发育和内分泌毒理学培训计划 4名博士后和3名博士后候选人在生物化学、细胞学和 生殖、发育和内分泌的神经行为方面 伊利诺伊大学的毒理学教授。该计划将提供 细胞和分子毒理学及更广泛领域的综合培训 环境科学领域，包括毒理学、病理学、 体内外源生物和风险评估，将使受训者能够 在其他大学、行业和政府建立成功的职业生涯 研究和监管活动。这项新的培训计划是在 生殖、发育和内分泌毒理学是 由跨学科环境毒理学提供的现有课程 该项目(IETP)于20世纪80年代中期在伊利诺伊大学建立。 拟议项目的十名教职员工中有八名是 IETP。研究生将被录取，并从任何 在七个参与的部门中。博士后实习生将花费他们的时间 头两年完成课程作业，开始研究项目和 准备资格赛和初试。来参与这一活动 培训计划学生将被要求接受一般培训 毒理学、生物化学、分子生物学、生殖生理学、 内分泌学和统计学。到第二年年底，研究将是 全职指挥。正式和非正式研讨会，嘉宾演讲节目， 科学会议报告和研究资助提案的准备 应用程序将完成对学生的培训。数量庞大的 受资助的项目和导师之间现有的合作将 进一步增加学员的研究机会和互动。
