Core E: Superfund Inter-Disciplinary Training Core

超级基金化学品带来的环境挑战是高度的，影响到几个国家。 人类生活的各个方面。肯塔基州大学超级基金项目的目的是研究 营养对超级基金化学品的毒性，这些化学品的检测和补救。解决 任何环境问题，新兴的研究人员应该有具体的科学训练，广泛的 不同学科的知识和有效的沟通。培训中心计划解决这一问题 通过跨学科的研究生教育和环境科学培训计划来满足需求。的 培训核心与各个项目以及UK-SBRP的其他核心的合作将 让我们的学员接触基础和应用研究。除了参与个人 项目，学员将介绍（a）蛋白质组学，EPA方法，生物信息学和系统 通过研究支助核心组织的讲习班开展毒理学中的生物学（核心B）;（B）研究 通过研讨会和参与研究翻译中心的活动制定翻译战略 (Core（C）通过参与共同体的活动解决真实的环境问题 在居住在超级基金地点附近的社区开展外联核心活动。核心培训的目标是：（一） 为学生提供其特定领域的全面培训，㈡灌输有关社会经济的基本知识， （iii）加强学生与科学家沟通的能力 以及非科学家。除了提供学生津贴外，培训中心还将提供 为实习生和博士后学者提供差旅费，以在 科学会议。重点将放在确定和招聘有积极性的个人， 通过小册子、网页和在少数民族会议上的演讲， 机构职能体系培训核心计划将定期进行评估，以评估 达到计划的目标。首先，评估受训人员的进展情况 第二，学员如何看待和评价这个项目。

The environmental challenge posed by Superfund chemicals is of high magnitude and affects several aspects of human life. The aim of the University of Kentucky Superfund Program is studying the effects of nutrition on the toxicity of Superfund chemicals, detection of these chemicals and their remediation. To solve any environmental problems, the emerging researchers should have specific scientific training, broad knowledge of different disciplines and be effective communicators. The Training Core plans to address this need through cross-disciplinary graduate education and a training program in environmental sciences. The collaboration of the Training Core with the individual projects and the other Cores of the UK-SBRP will expose our trainees to both basic and applied research. In addition to their involvement in individual projects, trainees will be introduced to (a) proteomics, EPA methods, and Bioinformatics and Systems Biology in Toxicology though workshops organized by the Research Support Core (Core B); (b) Research Translation strategies through workshops and participation in the activities of the Research Translation Core (Core C); and (c) real environmental problems through participation in the activities of the Community Outreach Core in communities residing close to Superfund sites. The goals of the Training Core are (i) to provide thorough training of students in their specific field, (ii) to instill basic knowledge about socioeconomic, law, engineering and science aspects, (iii) to enhance the ability of students to communicate with scientists as well as non-scientists. In addition to providing student stipents, the Training Core will make available travel funds to student trainees and postdoctoral scholars to present their Superfund-related research at scientific conferences. Emphasis will be placed on identifying and recruiting motivated individuals and students from underrepresented groups through brochures, web page, and presentations at minority institutions. The Training Core program will be evaluated on a regular basis to assess the progress in meeting the goals of the program. This will be accomplished by, first, evaluating the progress of the trainees toward their educational goals, and second, in terms of how the trainees view and value the program.
