Abstract Environmental health science problems posed by chemical exposure are complex; addressing these problems successfully requires expertise from diverse scientific fields. The Duke University Superfund Research Center (DUSRC) focuses on research and problem-solving in the context of early-life exposures and co-exposures, later-life consequences, environmental justice, and site remediation. Cross-disciplinary training can enable the transdisciplinary research required to solve such problems. Likewise, communicating science is challenging for many scientists, and historically much environmental health science work has been done in the absence of interaction with affected communities. To support trainees in DUSRC work and in preparing themselves for future environmental science and health careers, the Research Experience and Training Coordination Core (RETCC) of the DUSRC provides cross-disciplinary training to trainees to enable them to carry out and communicate integrated, transdisciplinary, problem-oriented research. The RETCC will provide a flexible and rigorous program characterized by two complementary Aims. First, all trainees will participate in a core set of activities that will ensure proficiency in fundamental knowledge and skills (Aim 1). Second, all trainees will be guided in choosing individually-tailored training activities to provide depth and specificity to career and research field development (Aim 2). These components have been carefully designed to complement the training components of the other departments and programs with which our trainees are associated, including social, biomedical, engineering, and statistical environmental sciences, thus ensuring that the cross-disciplinary training we provide is complemented by in-depth, focused disciplinary rigor. Specific Aim 1. Provide training in common, fundamental cross-disciplinary knowledge and skills related to environmental health and environmental science and engineering. Required participation in these five activities creates a solid, broad base of cross-disciplinary knowledge and skills for all trainees, stimulates transdisciplinary research, and promotes community among all DUSRC members. Specific Aim 2. Provide structure and activities that facilitate scientific depth and personalized career development. To complement the broad exposure and proficiencies that all trainees will attain under Aim 1, we will provide a flexible menu of opportunities that will be tailored to the goals and needs of each trainee. Of significance in our renewal application is the redesign of our “mentored mentoring” program, now explicitly designed to promote collaboration of our trainees with undergraduates of diverse backgrounds and encourage engagement of unrepresented minorities in DUSRC research and cores. As in the last funding cycle, we expect to support 5-7 trainees per year, with an approximate distribution of 75% PhD students, 20% postdoctoral researchers, and 5% Master’s students.

抽象的 化学暴露假设的环境健康科学问题很复杂；解决这些问题 成功地需要来自不同科学领域的专业知识。杜克大学超级基金研究中心 （DUSRC）重点是在早期暴露和共同曝光的背景下进行研究和解决问题， 后来的后果，环境正义和现场修复。跨学科培训可以使 解决此类问题所需的跨学科研究。同样，沟通科学是挑战 许多科学家以及历史上许多环境健康科学工作是在没有的情况下进行的 与受影响社区的互动。支持学员从事DUSRC工作并为未来做准备 环境科学与卫生职业，研究经验与培训协调核心（RETCC） DUSRC的案例为受训者提供跨学科培训，以使他们能够执行和 交流综合，跨学科的，面向问题的研究。 RETCC将提供一个灵活而严格的程序，其特征在于两个完整的目标。首先，全部 学员将参加一系列核心活动，以确保熟练掌握基本知识和技能 （目标1）。其次，所有学员将被指导选择单独量身定制的培训活动以提供深度 以及对职业和研究领域发展的特殊性（AIM 2）。这些组件已经仔细 旨在完成其他部门和计划的培训组件 相关，包括社会，生物医学，工程和统计环境科学，从而确保 我们提供的跨学科培训是通过深入的，重点的纪律处分完成的。 特定目标1。提供与与之相关的基本跨学科知识和技能的培训 环境健康与环境科学与工程。需要参与这五项活动 为所有受训者创建跨学科知识和技能的坚实而广泛的基础，刺激跨学科 研究，并促进所有DUSRC成员的社区。 特定目标2。提供促进科学深度和个性化职业的结构和活动 发展。为了完成所有学员将在AIM 1下获得的广泛曝光和熟练度，我们 将为每个受训者的目标和需求量身定制的灵活机会菜单。的 我们续签应用中的重要性是我们的“指导心理”计划的重新设计，现在明确 旨在促进我们的培训的合作，并具有基本的背景和鼓励 参与非代表性的少数民族参与DUSRC研究和核心。 与上一个融资周期一样，我们希望每年支持5-7名学员，大约分配75％ 博士生，20％的博士后研究人员和5％的硕士学生。
