 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Student-to-Scientist Bridge Program in Environmental Health Science (S2S Bridge) is an undergraduate research education program that responds to the need identified by NIEHS to increase the diversity of training programs for environmental health sciences and, by extension, the diversity of the environmental health science research workforce. Environmental health science addresses the relationship between human health and the environment, with a focus on the chemical, physical, and biological factors that affect human health and environmental quality. A partnership between California State University, Northridge (CSUN) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Fielding School of Public Health, the S2S Bridge Program will leverage the diversity and student support resources of CSUN, together with UCLA's research expertise, to increase the number of URM students who apply to and succeed in gaining entry into masters and doctoral programs in the environmental health sciences. The S2S Bridge program will prepare 15 CSUN undergraduate URM students to enter and thrive in a research-intensive environmental health sciences graduate program. Specific aims are to: 1) Engage undergraduate CSUN URM students in an undergraduate research experience (URE) in UCLA environmental health science labs; 2) Develop a culturally responsive research education program in environmental health science for URM students based on their educational and research goals and provide academic and graduate school preparation and application support; 3) Provide formal mentoring by faculty members that is culturally competent to foster student success in the program and beyond; 4) Achieve a 100% application rate to graduate programs (masters or doctoral) in environmental health science among program participants; and 5) Achieve an 80% acceptance rate into a graduate program (masters or doctoral) in environmental health science among program participants. The S2S Bridge program will foster and enhance the early experiences of young scientists and increase the diversity of the future cadre of environmental health science researchers. It also supports the broader goal and significant focus of NIH to promote diversification of the biomedical research workforce. Ultimately, by engaging diverse research perspectives, the project will help develop a better understanding of the environmental contributions to health disparities so that these disparities can be addressed, reduced and finally eliminated.

 描述（由申请人提供）：环境健康科学的学生到科学家桥梁计划（S2 S Bridge）是一个本科研究教育计划，旨在满足NIEHS确定的增加环境健康科学培训计划多样性的需求，并通过扩展环境健康科学研究人员的多样性。环境健康科学研究人类健康与环境之间的关系，重点关注影响人类健康和环境质量的化学，物理和生物因素。加州州立大学北岭分校（CSUN）和加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）菲尔丁公共卫生学院之间的合作伙伴关系，S2 S桥梁计划将利用CSUN的多样性和学生支持资源，以及UCLA的研究专业知识，增加URM学生申请并成功进入环境健康科学硕士和博士课程的人数。S2 S Bridge计划将为15名CSUN本科URM学生做好准备，以进入研究密集型环境健康科学研究生课程并在其中茁壮成长。具体目标是：1）让CSun URM本科生参与加州大学洛杉矶分校环境健康科学实验室的本科研究体验（URE）; 2）根据URM学生的教育和研究目标，为他们制定环境健康科学方面的文化响应研究教育计划，并提供学术和研究生院准备和申请支持; 3）提供正式的指导，由教师是文化能力，以促进学生在该计划及以后的成功; 4）达到100%的申请率，以研究生课程（硕士或博士）在环境健康科学的计划参与者;和5）实现80%的录取率进入研究生课程（硕士或博士）在环境健康科学的计划参与者。S2 S Bridge计划将培养和增强年轻科学家的早期经验，并增加未来环境健康科学研究人员的多样性。它还支持NIH促进生物医学研究人员多样化的更广泛目标和重要重点。最终，通过从不同的研究角度出发，该项目将有助于更好地了解环境对健康差距的影响，以便解决、减少这些差距， 淘汰
