项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed R25 Summer Intern Program (SIP) in Environmental Health Sciences seeks to offer summer research training in environmental health sciences for 10 outstanding under-represented minority undergraduate students from across the nation. These interns will participate in the investigators well-established and comprehensive 9-week laboratory training program at Harvard School of Public Health in conjunction with its Ph.D. Program in Biological Sciences in Public Health. HSPH has pledged to match NIH support to enhance the experience offered by its nationally recognized summer internship. The investigators will provide hands-on training in bench research, develop lasting mentoring relationships between summer undergraduate interns and ten outstanding HSPH faculty, and promote interest in environmental health graduate science careers by organizing curricular and extracurricular activities for interns enrolled in their program. All training program faculty are experienced in serving as mentors for minority students and have worked with their summer program for several years. Additionally, these faculty members have active research programs in a broad spectrum of research areas, including environmental health, genetics, molecular epidemiology and biomarkers, toxicology, and mechanistic disease research. This breadth of interest will benefit their program as each of the faculty will speak to the students about their research and professional development to foster careers in environmental sciences. Prospective applicants from across the nation will be evaluated for their potential based on statement of purpose, coursework and grades at the undergraduate level, and letters of reference. Those accepted into the program will begin their summer experience the second or third week in June. The SIP includes an individualized supervised research project in HSPH faculty laboratories, laboratory safety training, responsible conduct of science, participation in a weekly seminar series focusing on environmental health sciences, formal and informal mentoring lunches with HSPH faculty and graduate students, university-wide lectures bringing together summer interns across the university, afternoon and evening socials, practical preparation for the graduate school admission process, and Harvard University-sponsored Science Symposium for trainees to present the results of their research. The program evaluation will assess how well the SIP enhanced the motivation and academic preparation and participation in environmental health careers. The specific aim is to motivate and enhance the pipeline of underrepresented minority students seeking graduate level training in the environmental health sciences.

描述(由申请人提供)：拟议的R25环境健康科学暑期实习生计划(SIP)旨在为来自全国各地的10名优秀的未被充分代表的少数族裔本科生提供环境健康科学暑期研究培训。这些实习生将参加哈佛大学公共卫生学院完善的、全面的9周实验室培训计划，并与其公共卫生生物科学博士计划相结合。HSPH承诺将与NIH的支持相匹配，以增强其全国认可的暑期实习提供的经验。研究人员将提供板凳研究方面的实践培训，在暑期本科生实习生和十名优秀的HSPH教师之间建立持久的指导关系，并通过为实习生组织课程和课外活动来促进对环境健康研究生科学职业的兴趣。所有培训项目的教职员工都有担任少数族裔学生导师的经验，并已在他们的暑期项目中工作了几年。此外，这些教员在广泛的研究领域拥有积极的研究计划，包括环境健康、遗传学、分子流行病学和生物标记物、毒理学和机械性疾病研究。这种广泛的兴趣将使他们的项目受益，因为每个教员都将向学生讲述他们的研究和职业发展，以促进环境科学的职业生涯。来自全国各地的潜在申请者将根据目的声明、本科水平的课程和成绩以及推荐信来评估他们的潜力。那些被该计划录取的人将在6月份的第二或第三周开始他们的夏季体验。该计划包括HSPH教员实验室的个人化监督研究项目、实验室安全培训、负责任的科学行为、参加以环境健康科学为重点的每周研讨会系列、与HSPH教职员工和研究生举行的正式和非正式的辅导午餐、面向全校的暑期实习生的讲座、下午和晚上的社交活动、为研究生院录取过程做实际准备，以及哈佛大学赞助的科学研讨会，让学员展示他们的研究成果。项目评估将评估该计划在多大程度上增强了环境健康事业的动机、学术准备和参与程度。其具体目标是激励和加强寻求环境健康科学研究生水平培训的人数不足的少数族裔学生的渠道。
