PROJECT ABSTRACT Environmental Health: Transformative Research Undergraduate Experiences (E-H-TRUE) research education program at the University of Arizona (UA) seeks to recruit, educate and retain 5 undergraduate students every year who are underrepresented in environmental health sciences over five-year period. UA has a long record of accomplishment to train and retain under-representative students: more than 40% new freshman students from under-representative groups, raking #1 in PhDs earned by Naïve American students and #8 in the number of PhDs earned by Hispanic/Latino students. UA has received status as an American Indian/Alaska Native and a Hispanic Serving Institution. In E-H-TRUE, we bring together two preeminent programs: the UA Center for Toxicology and the UA Undergraduate Research Program (UBRP) to provide the top-notch research training in environmental health sciences. On the research side, the UA Center for Toxicology, one of leading toxicology research and training centers in the world, is home to the NIEHS-funded Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center (SWEHSC) and the UA Superfund Research Program. On the undergraduate education side, UBRP has served as a model for high-quality undergraduate research training for more than 30 years. Through established networks by UBRP, we will initiate early contact with freshman/sophomore undergraduates to identify talented undergraduate candidates from under-representative groups who are interested in environmental health science research. The well-designed educational component of E-H-TRUE will include a specifically designed course work in environmental health sciences to expose students to toxicology, immunology, epidemiology and government regulation. Program participants will receive hand-on training in research laboratories. Students will work with their mentors and laboratory collaborators to learn how to review literature, generate hypothesis, design step-by-step experimentation to test hypothesis, document results, and deliver presentable data by due dates. The program will emphasize collaboration and near- peer mentoring by capitalizing on the recently renewed NIEHS T32 training program (continuously funded for 40 years). The E-H-TRUE program will also facilitate community outreach activities in environmental health science through the established outreach core in SWEHSC. Finally, we have implemented a rigorous evaluation plan to measure the success and impact of the program. The main goal of the program is to provide students with research experiences and encourage them pursuing Ph.D. or professional degrees to be active in environmental science research.

项目摘要 环境健康：变革性研究本科生体验(E-H-TRUE)研究 亚利桑那大学(UA)的教育项目旨在招收、教育和留住5名本科生 在五年的时间里，每年在环境健康科学方面代表性不足的学生。尿酸 在培养和留住不具代表性的学生方面有着长期的成就：超过40%的新学生 来自不具代表性的群体的新生，在天真的美国人获得的博士学位中排名第一 西班牙裔/拉丁裔学生获得博士学位的人数排名第八。UA已收到的状态为 一名美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民和一名西班牙裔服务机构。在E-H-TRUE中，我们将两个 卓越项目：UA毒理学中心和UA本科生研究项目(UBRP) 提供一流的环境健康科学研究培训。在研究方面，UA 毒理学中心是世界领先的毒理学研究和培训中心之一，是 NIEHS资助的西南环境健康科学中心(SWEHSC)和UA超级基金 研究计划。在本科教育方面，UBRP成为高质量教育的典范 本科科研型培训30余年。通过UBRP建立的网络，我们将 启动与大一/大二本科生的早期接触，以发现有才华的本科生 来自对环境健康科学感兴趣的代表不足的团体的候选人 研究。E-H-TRUE精心设计的教育部分将包括专门设计的 环境健康科学的课程作业，让学生接触毒理学、免疫学、 流行病学和政府监管。计划参与者将接受研究方面的实践培训 实验室。学生将与他们的导师和实验室合作者一起学习如何复习 文献，生成假设，设计一步一步的实验来检验假设，文档 结果，并在截止日期前提供可提交的数据。该计划将强调合作和近乎 通过利用最近更新的NIEHS T32培训计划(持续资助 40年)。E-H-TRUE方案还将促进环境健康方面的社区外展活动 通过SWEHSC已建立的外展核心开展科学活动。最后，我们实现了一个 严格的评估计划，以衡量计划的成功和影响。该计划的主要目标是 为学生提供研究经验，并鼓励他们攻读博士或专业学位 积极参与环境科学研究。
