DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) This proposed STEER program is intended to support the annual participation of eight academically talented undergraduates in the Environmental Health Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Program (EHS-SURP). The overall goal of EHS-SURP is to provide an authentic, hands-on, ten-week bench research experience for students considering careers in EHS research. Mentorship will be provided by training faculty, who are all members of the NIEHS Center for Research on Environmental Disease. The Center provides the cohesive and focused infrastructure that supports the EHS-SURP and provides a strong basis in EHS research. Under the direction of members of the training faculty, SURP students will conduct bench research on a defined, small project, related to the ongoing investigations in their mentor's laboratory. Students will also participate in didactic and career development activities designed to promote and prepare students for entry into graduate and professional education programs leading to EHS careers. The SURP has been continuously supported by a NIEHS T35 training grant entitled: Short Term Training for Minority Students, since 1996. Programmatic evaluations demonstrate that the SURP has been an important contributor to the career development of the participating students and has influenced their decision and ability to pursue graduate training leading to careers in scientific research and/or medicine.

描述（由申请人提供） 这个提议的STEER计划旨在支持八名学术人才的本科生每年参加环境健康科学夏季本科生研究计划（EHS-SURP）。EHS-SURP的总体目标是为考虑从事EHS研究的学生提供真实的，动手的，为期十周的实验室研究经验。导师将由培训教师提供，他们都是NIEHS环境疾病研究中心的成员。该中心提供了支持EHS-SURP的有凝聚力和重点的基础设施，并为EHS研究提供了坚实的基础。在培训教师的指导下，SURP学生将对一个定义的小项目进行实验室研究，该项目与他们导师实验室正在进行的调查有关。学生还将参加教学和职业发展活动，旨在促进和准备学生进入研究生和专业教育课程，导致EHS职业。自1996年以来，SURP一直得到NIEHS T35培训补助金的支持，该补助金名为：少数民族学生短期培训。方案评估表明，SURP一直是参与学生的职业发展的重要贡献者，并影响了他们的决定和能力，追求研究生培训，导致在科学研究和/或医学的职业生涯。
