CORE--TRAINING

培训核心将选择和招募高素质的博士前和博士后学员，保持课程设置和充实计划，以填补他们的知识空白，并监测他们在超级基金研究中的进展。核心将由六名培训教师组成的委员会指导，他们在研究生教育方面经验丰富，跨越超级基金计划的学科范围，并与其他毒理学计划和校园内的各种研究生团体密切相关。23名培训教师代表21个不同的研究生群体，学生将从中抽取。除了我们强大的毒理学招聘计划外，我们还将特别强调为非生物项目招聘和选择学员，加州大学戴维斯分校优秀的化学、工程、水文地质学和土壤科学研究生课程是一笔可观的资产。由于超级基金计划和个别项目的跨学科性质，将特别关注学生的预备课程。此外，他们的教育将通过以下方式得到丰富：㈠参加由超级基金支助的、由主要毒理学家和有关科学家举办的一系列校园研讨会; ㈡通过外联活动和大学推广部的危险材料管理方案，获得管制环境方面的实际经验;（iii）在全国性会议、超级基金调查员月度会议上介绍自己的研究成果，在超级基金受训人员与NIEHS环境毒理学培训补助金受训人员的月度会议上，在超级基金三大学年度会议上，以及在与其他毒理学为导向的校园方案共同主办的年度务虚会/研讨会上;及（iv）由分析中心、DNA微阵列及同源模建中心及其使命包括促进跨学科研究的特别设施提供的特别实践训练。作为大学捐款提供的四个受训人员名额的候选人将根据学历证书和研究提案进行甄选。培训生的进度将通过定期审查课程，研究摘要，参加超级基金会议，并及时履行主要研究生团体的要求进行监测。这种跨学科的教育经验将产生博士水平的工程师和科学家，具有解决危险废物场地所带来的复杂研究问题所需的广泛专业知识。

The Training Core will select and recruit highly qualified pre- and postdoctoral trainees, maintain course offerings and enrichment programs to fill the gaps in their knowledge, and monitor their progress in Superfund research. The Core will be directed by a committee of six training faculty who are experienced in graduate education, who span the disciplinary scope of the Superfund program, and who are closely connected with other toxicology programs and a variety of graduate groups on campus. The 23 training faculty represent 21 different graduate groups from whom students will be drawn. In addition to our strong recruitment program in toxicological sciences, special emphasis will be placed on recruiting and selecting trainees for the non-biological projects, for which the excellent UC Davis graduate programs in chemistry, engineering, hydrogeology and soil science are a considerable asset. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the Superfund program and individual projects, special attention will be given to the students' preparatory coursework. In addition, their education will be enriched by (i) attendance at Superfund-supported series of campus seminars to be given by leading toxicologists and related scientists; (ii) practical experience in the regulatory environment through outreach activities and the Hazardous Material Management program of the University Extension; (iii) presentations of their own research results at national meetings, at monthly meetings of Superfund investigators, at monthly meetings of Superfund trainees with the trainees of the NIEHS Environmental Toxicology Training Grant, at the annual Superfund Tri-University meeting and at an annual retreat/symposium co-sponsored with other toxicologically oriented campus programs; and (iv) special hands-on training offered by the Analytical Core, the DNA Microarray and Homology Modeling Core and special facilities whose missions include promotion of interdisciplinary research. Selection of candidates for four trainee slots provided as a University contribution will be on the basis of academic credentials and a research proposal. Trainee progress will be monitored by a periodic review of coursework, research summaries, participation in Superfund meetings, and timely fulfillment of major graduate group requirements. This interdisciplinary educational experience will produce doctoral level engineers and scientists with the breadth of expertise necessary to address the complex research problems posed by hazardous waste sites.
