项目摘要

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. The primary objective of the Minority Summer Research Experience in Environmental Toxicology is to provide five students with an opportunity to participate actively in an ongoing research project. Students will have "hands- on" responsibilities in research projects in which reasonable conclusions can be obtained in a 9-week period, and will spend 85% of their time in the laboratory. Research opportunities in Environmental Toxicology are available in the specialty areas of metabolism and transport of xenobiotics, mechanisms of toxicity of halogenated hydrocarbons, mechanisms of oxidative stress-induced toxicity, DNA repair and mutagenesis, neurotoxicology and immunotoxicology. Students will work with faculty who are Core and Joint Faculty in the Graduate Center for Toxicology who are also Training Grant Faculty on the T32 Environmental Toxicology NIEHS Training Grant (a total of 30 faculty). Students will be recruited from the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) as the continuation of a program for students from UPR which has been cosponsored by the University of Kentucky (UK) and UPR for the last three summers. We will continue to work with Dr. Braulio Jimenez, the Director of the Center for Environmental and Toxicological Research at the Medical Sciences Campus of UPR to identify and recruit students for the summer program. Applicants will be asked to provide their student transcripts and will be interviewed by Dr. Jimenez; the best candidates will send their transcripts, an essay describing their research interests and why they wish to work in Toxicology, and one letter of recommendation. Dr. Vore and 3 additional members of the Training Grant Faculty will review the candidates, and select the top five. This group will also match the interests of the applicants with those faculty who are able to work with the students in any given summer. Dr. Vore will closely monitor the satisfaction of the students and mentors during and at the end of the program. Students will attend a seminar series in which they discuss their research, and hear presentations on the use of animals and ethics in research, and how to prepare for Graduate School. Finally, students will make a 15 minute presentation and discussion of their research results.

超过提供的空间。少数夏季研究经验的环境毒理学经验的主要目标是为五名学生提供积极参与正在进行的研究项目的机会。学生将在研究项目中承担“履行”责任，在9周期间可以得出合理的结论，并将其在实验室花费85％的时间。环境毒理学的研究机会可在代谢和异种生物运输的特殊领域，卤代烃的毒性，氧化应激诱导的毒性，DNA修复和诱变的机制，神经毒理学和免疫毒理学。学生将与毒理学研究生中心的核心和联合教职员工一起工作，他们还在培训T32环境毒理学NIEHS培训赠款（共有30名教职员工）的赠款教师。将从波多黎各大学（UPR）招募学生，因为肯塔基大学（英国）（英国）和UPR在过去三个夏天中曾为UPR的学生提供一项课程。我们将继续与UPR医学科学校园环境与毒理学研究中心主任Braulio Jimenez博士合作，以识别和招募学生参加夏季计划。将要求申请人提供他们的成绩单，并将由Jimenez博士采访；最好的候选人将发送成绩单，一篇文章描述他们的研究兴趣以及他们为什么希望从事毒理学工作以及一份推荐信。 Vore博士和3名培训赠款教师的3名成员将审查候选人，并选择前五名。该小组还将与申请人的兴趣与能够在任何给定夏天与学生合作的教师匹配。 Vore博士将在计划结束时密切监视学生和导师的满意度。学生将参加一个研讨会系列，讨论他们的研究，并听取有关在研究中使用动物和伦理的演讲，以及如何为研究生做准备。最后，学生将对他们的研究结果进行15分钟的演讲和讨论。表演站点=============================================================================================
