Training Grant for the Joint Graduate Program in Exposure Science.

描述(由申请人提供) 本申请要求在前两年为3名博士后学生和1名博士后研究员提供支持，并在未来三年为生物医学研究生院/UNMDJ和环境科学/罗格斯大学环境科学联合研究生项目(JGPES)的4名博士前学生和2名博士后研究员提供支持。JGPES拥有来自两所大学四个系的17名教职员工，迄今已培养了33名博士生。JGPES的中心任务是培训博士后和博士后受训人员，使他们具备人类暴露科学及其在环境健康科学中的应用方面的广泛知识，并在其专门研究领域提供严格的培训。JGPES是美国第一个暴露科学博士学位授予项目，提供和发展一系列课程以满足该领域的新需求，该项目设在环境与职业健康科学研究所(EOHSI)内，该研究所是一个致力于环境健康研究的多学科研究中心。JGPES与EOHSI的联合为培养发展中的科学家之间的合作关系和培训进行跨学科研究的学者提供了一个独特的多学科环境。JGPES提供的课程和研究机会旨在鼓励创新、研究的原创性和领导技能。所要求的受训人数与该计划和曝光科学领域在未来五年的预期增长一致。JGPES为其学员提供了一个不同寻常的机会，通过使用生物标记物的测量、“组学”技术的应用和毒物动力学建模，与毒物学家、内科科学家和临床研究人员在接触科学和人类健康的界面上进行密切互动。JGPES的毕业生在暴露科学领域的前沿获得深入的知识和研究经验，使他们能够在更广泛的环境健康领域建立独立的、多学科的研究项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) This application requests support for 3 pre-doctoral students and 1 postdoctoral fellow for the first two years and support for 4 pre-doctoral students and 2 postdoctoral fellows for the next three years for the Joint Graduate Program in Exposure Science (JGPES) of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences/UNMDJ and Environmental Sciences/Rutgers University. The JGPES has seventeen faculty members from four departments of the two universities and has trained thirty-three doctoral students to date. The central mission of the JGPES is to train pre- and postdoctoral trainees with a broad knowledge of human exposure science and its applications to the environmental health sciences, and to provide rigorous training in their specialized area of research. The JGPES is the first Exposure Science Doctoral Degree granting program in the United States, the availability and evolution of a wide range of courses to meet the emerging needs in this field, and it's being housed within the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI), a multidisciplinary research center dedicated entirely to environmental health research. The JGPES association with EOHSI provides a unique multidisciplinary environment for fostering collaborative relationship among developing scientists and training scholars in conducting interdisciplinary research. The curriculum and research opportunities offered by the JGPES are designed to encourage innovation, originality of research, and leadership skills. The requested number of trainees is consistent with the expected growth of the program and field of exposure science over the next five years. The JGPES offers its trainees an unusual opportunity to closely interact with toxicologists, physician-scientists and clinical researchers at the interface of exposure science and human health through the use of measurement of biomarkers, application of "omic" techniques and toxicokinetic modeling. Graduates of the JGPES acquire a depth of knowledge and research experience at the cutting edge of the field of exposure science that allows them to build independent, multidisciplinary research programs within the broader field of environmental health.
