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，维持课程设置和充实计划，以填补他们的知识空白，并监督他们在超级基金研究方面的进展。核心项目将由六名培训教员组成的委员会指导，这些教员在研究生教育方面经验丰富，他们跨越了超级基金项目的学科范围，并与其他毒理学项目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，将从这些群体中抽取学生。除了我们在毒理学科学方面的强大招聘计划外，我们将特别重视招聘和选择非生物项目的学员，加州大学戴维斯分校在化学，工程，水文地质和土壤科学方面的优秀研究生课程是相当大的资产。由于超级基金计划和个人项目的跨学科性质，将特别关注学生的准备课程。此外，他们的教育将通过以下方式得到丰富：(i)参加由超级基金支持的由主要毒理学家和相关科学家举办的一系列校园研讨会；（ii）通过外展活动和大学扩展项目的有害物质管理项目在监管环境方面的实践经验；（iii）在国家会议、超级基金研究人员月度会议、超级基金学员与NIEHS环境毒理学培训补助金学员的月度会议、超级基金三校年度会议以及与其他毒理学校园项目共同主办的年度静修/研讨会上介绍自己的研究成果；（iv）由分析中心、DNA微阵列和同源性建模中心以及促进跨学科研究的特殊设施提供的特殊实践培训。作为大学捐款提供的四个实习名额的候选人的选择将以学术证书和研究计划为基础。通过定期审查课程作业、研究总结、参加超级基金会议以及及时完成主要研究生小组的要求，培训生的进步将得到监控。这种跨学科的教育经验将培养博士级别的工程师和科学家，他们具有解决危险废物场址所造成的复杂研究问题所需的广泛专门知识。

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.
