 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) In this competitive renewal of the Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Institutional Research Training Grant Application, we request funds to support the research training in environmental toxicology at the University of California, Riverside. The proposed interdisciplinary research training program is built upon the solid foundation of the existing curriculum structure of the environmental toxicology graduate program. The fourteen preceptors are from the Division of Biomedical Sciences as well as the Departments of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Botany and Plant Science, Chemical and Environmental Engineering, and Environmental Sciences. They have been very actively involved with the training of pre- and postdoctoral individuals in environmental toxicology and their research projects have been well funded. The research programs of these faculty members include genetic toxicology and epigenetics (Chen, Eastmond, Song, and Wang), analytical chemistry and proteomics (Ai, Cheng, Gan, Mulchandani, and Wang), oxidative stress (Ai, Julian and Wang), and endocrine disruption and metabolism (Gill, Messaoudi, Schlenk, Sladek, and Walker). Pre-doctoral trainees will be selected from the participating Chemistry and Environmental Toxicology graduate programs. An Internal Steering Committee is established to select the trainees and to monitor the progress of the trainees, and an External Advisory Board is also named to assist the management of the training program. A total of 6 trainees per year (4 pre-doctorates plus 2 post-doctorates) are requested. The trainees will be exposed to a variety of cutting-edge technologies in nanofabrication, genomics, proteomics, etc. The request for continuing funding of this research training grant is justified by the relevance of the proposed research training to environmental health, the excellent training environment, the superb experience of the preceptors in training pre- and postdoctoral individuals, the strong institutional commitment, the diverse graduate student body at the University, as well as our success in recruiting, appointing and nurturing the success of trainees in the last funding cycle.

 描述(由申请人提供) 在此次Ruth L.Kirschstein NRSA机构研究培训补助金申请的竞争性续签中，我们请求提供资金，以支持加州大学河滨分校的环境毒理学研究培训。拟议的跨学科研究培训计划建立在环境毒理学研究生计划现有课程结构的坚实基础上。这14名教师来自生物医学科学系以及化学、生物化学、植物学和植物科学系、化学和环境工程系和环境科学系。他们非常积极地参与了对环境毒理学博士后和博士后的培训，他们的研究项目得到了充足的资金。这些教员的研究项目包括遗传毒理学和表观遗传学(Chen、Eastmond、Song和Wang)、分析化学和蛋白质组学(Ai、Cheng、Gan、Mulchandani和Wang)、氧化应激(Ai、Julian和Wang)以及内分泌干扰和新陈代谢(Gill、Messaoudi、Schlenk、Sladek和Walker)。博士前实习生将从参与的化学和环境毒理学研究生项目中挑选出来。成立了一个内部指导委员会来挑选受训人员并监测受训人员的进展情况，还指定了一个外部咨询委员会来协助管理培训方案。每年总共需要6名实习生(4名博士前和2名博士后)。学员将接触到纳米制造、基因组学、蛋白质组学等领域的各种尖端技术。申请继续资助这项研究培训拨款的理由是，拟议的研究培训与环境健康相关，良好的培训环境，导师在培训博士后和博士后方面的卓越经验，强大的机构承诺，大学多样化的研究生群体，以及我们在上一个资助周期成功招聘、任命和培养学员的成功。
