 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) "Transdisciplinary Training at the Intersection of Environmental Health and Social Science" prepares 6 doctoral students and 3 postdoctoral fellows to be future leaders in social science-environmental health science collaborations. This training program is unique in that is co-directed by an academic institution, Northeastern University's Social Science Environmental Health Research Institute and a non-academic institution, the Silent Spring Institute, a science-based/community-based participatory research environmental non-profit organization. It builds upon a decade of collaborative research and training activities between the two partners. The training component trains doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in a new research trajectory that combines the study of environmental health, exposure science and social science. Trainees learn about community-based participatory research, environmental justice, informal science education, and public participation in science. This will include coursework in regular NU seminars, as well as a special Environmental Health course taught at Silent Spring Institute, designed for our trainees. The capacity-building component offers hands-on training at Silent Spring Institute to learn first-hand how a community-based organization deals with research and advocacy on emerging contaminants and technologies, and to be part of ongoing research projects. These projects involve processes and ethics of reporting back biomonitoring and personal exposure results to participants, data sharing and privacy protection, impact of green renovations on asthma and indoor environmental quality in public housing, modeling of emerging contaminants in Cape Cod drinking water, development of exposure biomarkers for breast cancer studies, and field testing of do-it-yourself air samplers for semi-volatile organic compounds. Trainees will also learn how to work with the news media. The community component places trainees in externships at community-based organizations and environmental health research centers for varying periods of time. The laboratory component brings trainees to various laboratories and organizational sites to learn about a broad range of environmental health research and advocacy.

 描述（由申请人提供） “环境健康与社会科学交集的跨学科培训”为6名博士生和3名博士后研究员做好准备，成为社会科学 - 环境健康科学合作的未来领导者。该培训计划是独一无二的，它由一个学术机构，东北大学的社会科学环境健康研究所和非学术机构，寂静的春季学院，一个基于科学/社区的参与研究环境非营利组织共同指导。它建立在两个合作伙伴之间的十年合作研究和培训活动的基础上。培训组成部分在新的研究轨迹中训练博士生和博士后研究员，该研究轨迹结合了环境健康，暴露科学和社会科学的研究。受训者了解基于社区的参与研究，环境正义，非正式科学教育以及公众参与科学。这将包括常规的NU Semians课程，以及在为我们的学员设计的Silent Spring Institute教授的特殊环境健康课程。能力建设组件提供了静音春季学院的动手培训，以亲身了解基于社区的组织如何处理有关新兴污染物和技术的研究和倡导，并成为正在进行的研究项目的一部分。 These projects involve processes and ethics of reporting back biomonitoring and personal exposure results to participants, data sharing and privacy protection, impact of green renovations on asthma and indoor environmental quality in public housing, modeling of emerging contaminants in Cape Cod drinking water, development of exposure biomarkers for breast cancer studies, and field testing of do-it-yourself air samples for semi-volatile organic compounds.学员还将学习如何与新闻媒体合作。社区组成部分将受训者置于社区组织和环境健康研究中心的外部工作。实验室组件将学员带到各种实验室和组织地点，以了解广泛的环境健康研究和倡导。
